Conquer six mountain passes including the towering Kyamayuri La (5400 meters) and Yalung Nyau La (5414 meters).
The Rumtse Tso Moriri trek is a challenging but incredibly rewarding trek for those who want to witness the surreal glow of high mountain passes, turquoise lakes, and immerse themselves in the unique culture of the Changpa nomad. It takes you through the incredibly beautiful and untouched Chang-Thang Valley, a beautiful destination in Ladakh. Stretching over 100 kilometers, the Rumtse Tso Moriri trek will definitely test your mettle, with seven challenging passes and passes above (5,000m), including the fearsome Yarlung Nyau La and Shibuk La, ten river crossings, and three campsites above 16,000 feet. etc..
The trek to Rumtse Tso Moriri is a four-season trek, allowing you to experience four different seasons along the way. Where the exquisite rivers, lush green meadows, snow-capped peaks, and desolate, lonely surroundings occasionally change shape, creating multi-faceted mountains with bursts of color. The high altitudes of Ladakh require a strong physical fitness and a suitable environment due to the altitude and difficult ascents and descents.
However, upon reaching each peak, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views, such as the sparkling salty Tso Kar Lake, which shimmers like a mirage, and one of the most beautiful destinations of this trek, ending the adventure in the sapphire-blue expanse of Tso Moriri Lake. Rare species can also be found in the region, including snow leopards, blue sheep, marmots, and wild asses roaming freely. The ever-changing scenery, which ranges from vibrant green campgrounds to snow-capped peaks that reach the sky, leaves its observers speechless.
As you camp under the stars in places like Tisaling, Kyamar, and Rachungkharu, where emerald grasslands challenge the steep elevations, majestic mountains will provide moments of pure magic. The captivating world of the Changpa nomads, their sturdy yaks, and their Pashmina goats adorn the countryside. Where you can hear their stories, feel their gracious hospitality, and discover their traditional way of life.
