Ladakh - Rumtse To Tso Moriri Trek
The area is also home to the pashmina goats and yaks of the Changthang nomads and is an exceptional trek, so the Rumtse to Tso Moriri trek is considered challenging due to the high altitude. The trail is relatively easy following good trail and mule trail but due to the increasing altitude, it is challenging. So be prepared to walk for an average of 6-8 hours every day with your bag, which will contain your valuables, packed lunch, water, extra wool, snacks etc. Some famous mountain base camp are located where there are you will long trek up to 5500m altitude, and you need to sleep at altitude above 4500m for the night. No previous trekking experience is required but you must be moderately fit and adaptable to walking and high altitude conditions.
