Set in the beautiful Hemis National Park, the Markha Valley is a stunning natural landscape and unsurprisingly, one of the most popular spots for a trek in Ladakh. The valley is home to humble mud houses perched among green fields—a sight to behold in the middle of the barren mountains of this union territory. Tibetan culture thrives in these villages and Buddhist prayer flags are ubiquitous. The Markha Valley Trek involves many river crossings and an ascent to the high pass of Kongmaru La. Along the way you will come across outstanding views of Mount Kang Yatze, rocky canyons, incredible wildlife (such as bharal, rabbits and snow leopards) and many small monasteries, the most important of which is Tacha.
