Lasermo La Trek

from ₹0.00

June – September

A short intensive trek that encapsulates the beauty of a trek in the Ladakh region and the travails and joys of high altitude walking! You start at the sand dunes of Nubra and start ascending through dry arid sand – gorges, steep ascents and we delve deeper into the mountains – Lasermo La is in the same line as Khardungla – only lower. And the next couple of days are spent getting closer and higher. From climbing up steeply to walking in pastures, crossing fields and streams, jumping over huge boulders to if you are lucky getting snow, the trek has all the elements that make a good interesting and adventurous trek.
