Ladakh
Leh is at the crossroads of Asia. Being the central place of Ladakh and on
the trade route, caravans met here. Traders came from all directions: from
Tibet in the east, Kullu in the south, Muslims from Balti valleys in west
and caravans from Central Asia in the north. Today even with plane-loads
of tourists landing here, it has not lost any of its charms. There are
many places in the valley for trekkers and mountaineers. The south-eastern
valley of Rupshu has several peaks; the highest of them Lungser Kangri
(6666 m) was climbed by us in 1995. Three of the other high peaks,
Pologongka, Kula and Chhamser Kangri were climbed in quick succession by
mountaineers of various nationalities. Still, many peaks, like Chakula and
others are awaiting climbers. Wide barren valleys, blue waters of Tso
Moriri lake, the attractive nomads (Changpas) and exploratory treks:
that's what Rupshu offers.
