Handcrafted travel experience for life time
Trek Phyang - Hundar
Day 1: Leh to Murubok via phyang village
Wake up early and travel west of Leh, with a short stop at Spituk Monastery, where you can say a silent prayer. Continue your journey to Murubok village, passing through Phyang village and its monastery. Phyang is one of the largest inhabited villages in Ladakh, and its monastery belongs to the Drikung Kargyud school of Tibetan Buddhism. Overnight camp at Murubok (4000m).
Day 2: Murubok to Murubok Phu
This will be the first day of the trek. Although it is a short day in terms of walking, it is ideal for acclimatization. Begin your gradual trek to Phyang Phu. Overnight camp at Phyang Phu (4300m).
Day 3: Murubok Phu to South Base of Lasermo
Enjoy a leisurely breakfast, followed by a gradual walk to the South Base Camp of Lasermo, which takes approximately 3 to 4 hours. You may be lucky enough to spot local wildlife, including ibex, marmots, and various types of birds. Overnight at the base camp
(4800m).
Day 4: South Base Camp to Lasermo La 5450m to North Base Camp
Prepare for a long day of trekking, approximately 7 to 8 hours. We begin early to cross the Lasermo La Pass (5,450m). From the top of the pass, there is a 30-minute walk across the glacier, followed by a descent through rough moraine terrain that continues for about an hour and a half. An early start is crucial, as the ponies need to cross the glacier before midday to avoid the challenges caused by melting snow and ice. Tonight’s campsite is set in a beautiful alpine meadow, offering a chance to explore and enjoy the colorful high-altitude flowers that bloom in this remote landscape.
Overnight at camp.
Day 5: North Base Camp to Hunder Dok
Enjoy a light and easy walk through the valley of flowers and meadows, which takes approximately 5 to 6hours. Follow a steady stream until you reach Hunder Dok village, where you'll find some shepherd huts and perhaps see local animals grazing in the fields. Overnight stay at Hunder Dok (4000m).
Day 6: Hundar to Pangong Lake
Start with an early morning drive towards Hundar, visiting Diskit Monastery, and then continue to Pangong Lake. The drive takes about 7 hrs. Pangong Lake is situated at an altitude of 4,200 meters and stretches134 kilometers, with more than half of it in Tibet and the rest in Ladakh. Overnight stay will be at Merak Village in Pangong, either in a homestay or deluxe camp.
Day 7 : Pangong to Leh
After enjoying the stunning views of Pangong Lake, we begin our drive back to Leh. The journey takes approximately 5 to 6 hours, passing through dramatic landscapes and crossing the high-altitude Chang La Pass (5,360m)—one of the highest motorable roads in the world. Along the way, we pass through small villages and scenic valleys, with opportunities to stop for tea and photography.
ITINERARY
THIS TOUR DOES NOT CONTAIN ITINERARY
Phyang to Hunder Trek traces the historic Silk Route, journeying through the Indus and Nubra
Valleys. This adventure allows you to deeply connect with nature, as you experience the solitude
and untouched beauty of the wilderness. Along the way, you’ll encounter breathtaking
landscapes and dramatic vistas. A highlight of the trek is reaching Lasermo La, where the awe-
inspiring views of the Eastern Karakoram mountain range will make you feel like you’re standing
on top of the world. This trek offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and a sense of
solitude in the heart of the Himalayas.
Typical day:
Each morning, you’ll be gently awakened around 6:30 am with a cup of tea brought to your tent,
followed by a small bowl of warm water for washing. Before breakfast, you'll pack your gear into
your kit bag, which will be taken by pack animals or porters, and you won’t have access to it until
you reach camp later in the afternoon. After a hearty breakfast, we usually hit the trail between
7:30 and 8:00 am, depending on the day’s trek. We’ll typically walk for 3 to 4 hours before
breaking for a one-hour lunch, with some staff walking ahead to select a good spot for our rest.
The afternoon walk is usually shorter, and we typically reach camp between 3:30 and 4:30 pm.
Once camp is set up and the kitchen is ready, afternoon tea will be served. You’ll then have time
to rest or explore the surrounding area until dinner, which is usually served between 6:00 and
7:00 pm. Be sure to bring your headlamp and water bottles to the dining tent so they can be
filled with boiling water. Evenings on the trek offer some of the most memorable moments,
whether it's chatting with fellow trekkers, playing cards, engaging with the local crew, or even
joining in some singing and dancing. Much of the joy of an expedition lies in the journey itself.
