Markha Valley

Our Ladakh tour from Ahmedabad was truly fantastic and well organized. The scenic drive from Leh to Nubra via Khardung La was breathtaking. Thrillophilia handled all permits and environmental fees smoothly. The hotels were very comfortable with proper heating, making our stay cozy. Overall, it was an excellent and memorable trip.

Safar bahut hi khoobsurat tha! Ladakh ki sundarta dekhkar dil khush ho gaya. Thrillophilia ne sab kuch bahut achhe se manage kiya, especially oxygen support ka dhyan rakha. Leh bazaar aur Pangong Lake hamesha yaad rahenge.

By climbing mountains, we were not learning how big we were. We were finding out how breakable, how weak and how full of fear we are. You can only get this if you expose yourself to high danger. I have always said that a mountain without danger is not a mountain.” This statement resonated with my beliefs and passion about these majestic Himalayan ranges.

First, I would like to say thank you to shyam@thrillophilia.com for their coordination and cooperation by writing my thrillophilia reviews.The trip was well planned and executed extremely well by the tour operators, I am very happy with the services provided by thrillophilia during this trek. 1) Our trek leaders Salman and Stenzin are really a wonderful Guys, they were very helpful and supportive all the time during trekking.Other staff members were also supportive and helpful. 2) Food quality and quantity was good. 3) Accommodation was good, camps were in good shape, neat and clean and quite spacious. Let's review the Trek about which I had read a lot at thrillophilia reviews. No doubt Stok trek was awesome as well as difficult. It would not be correct if I will say Stok trek is the most beautiful trek ???? but there is something which makes this trek different from all other treks and which is the main reason to attract tourist from every corner of the word, that is its height. At 20,500 feet Stok Kangri is the highest trekkable summit in India (6,153 m), what google says but when I googled it bit more and try to find if there is any other trek exist in this word which is above Stok, I did not get any information so I assume this is the highest trekkable summit in world ???? Highlights of this Trek 1) Trekking till base camp is not very tiring, which itself a big achievement as you would be able to achieve the height of 16300 feet ???? and the best part what I found in this trek is “you don’t need to walk too many hours to reach base camp” 2-4 hours walk a day is max you will walk. 2) Leh treks are totally different from Himachal and Uttrakhand treks in terms of scenic beauty, it’s a different experience, you would be able to see some splendid views of the Stok mountain ranges. 3) The last day “Summit day” will give you a totally different experience. You start your trek at night time which generally don’t happen in other treks. Moreover, you will get a chance to do snow trekking in summers as well “Only in summit Day”. Here is a great saying "the best view comes after the hardest climb" Very True!!! Preparation: I should say this is not a trek for first time trekkers but still if someone wants to give a try, Start your preparation at least 2 months before this trek as last day “Summit Day” is really a challenging one, compare to other days where you have to just walk 2-4 hours max here on final day you have to walk for a 12 – 14 hours and Trekking at night on Snow is bit tricky task and it becomes more challenging when you have to walk by putting Crampons on your shoes as rightly suggested by many people at thrillophilia reviews. a) Aim for 5 km running in 30 minutes b) Do breathing exercise which helps you a lot during this trek especially. c) Drink as much as water you can.

Stok Kangri trek was fixed last minute. No idea I had how this trek will be going to. But my family was also happy to come with me to do the challenging trek. We sought help from Thrillophilia to plan a trip to Stok Kangri along with some other regions in Ladakh for 10 days. It went out nicely than I expected. Firstly, the trip started late due to rain but after it started, the movement was at a steady pace. We went to the starting point of the trek and other places in a jeep and only some distance we covered by trekking. But those stretches were really amazing. The surroundings are full of mountains and rough lands. But Stok Kangri is differently beautiful. Natural beauty at its best. We went to Leh by flight from Mumbai. Met the tour guides there and started our trip. We had fun throughout the trip watching the towering peaks and the huts along the roads. It is a great place for family trips. But the cold climate may let you feel tired and sick but if you prepare well before heading out to the sites, you can escape from being sick.

Watching the snow clad peaks in the Himalayan ranges was one of my long time wishes and finally I achieved it by choosing Stok Kangri trek. It is a marvelous place in Ladakh region with a lot of challenging routes to be covered. The snow clad peaks were standing tall throughout the way to Stok Kangri. When I searched about this trek, I got to know that I should be physically fit. I started preparing one month before the trek. I was really excited to be in the group. We five friends booked through an agent. They arranged the trip very well with quality food and accommodation. Camping was absolutely fine. It was cold in the surrounding but the stay was fine. The ridges and the steep climbs gave us many challenges than expected. But still I was happy to accept those stringent conditions as the sights were beyond imagination. I was feeling sick when the high altitudes were conquered but somehow I managed to come out of the sickness in one day and continued with complete energy. The guides were well informed and experienced so that the journey was smooth and devoid of many difficulties. My friends also loved the trip. We have moved through many villages and met so many lovable people around. We had food from one of the houses in the village on one day and it was so tasty. Then we have walked through the town of Leh as well to know more about its local life. There is no other way than walking through these places which help us to enjoy the beauty of each location.
