The Markha valley is a stunning region of quaint Tibetan villages nestled in wild mountain valleys beneath glaciated 6000 meter peaks. Home to snow leopard, blue sheep, Asiatic ibex, and wolf; each day in the area is truly fascinating. The Tibetan-descended Ladakhi pastoralists residing here have made out a hardy existence in these wild valleys for the past 1200 years, living in and off the land; they’ve developed a system of survival totally cut off from outside influence. True model citizens of sustainable living, their culture is a boon to a way that is currently under threat with globalization. Come to Ladakh to experience Tibetan and Indian Buddhism, sustainable living, and non-technical glaciated Himalayan mountaineering in one of the most unique environments of the vast Himalaya, and climb to 6000 meters | 20,000ft (!). himalaya-alpine/expedition-climbs/india-expeditions/markha-valley-kang-yatze/.
