Day 01: Leh (3500m) - Tsomoriri (4450m) 240Kms / 7-8 hrs.
After an early breakfast, a taxi will drop you at Korzok, which is 240
kms from Leh and is the head quarter of the area. Korzok village is on
the bank of the lake and the Korzok monastery stands mightily
overlooking the village and the lake. You will reach there in the
afternoon and stay over night at Tsomoriri
Day 02: Tsomoriri to base camp 5-6 hrs.
The days trek starts early in the morning along the trail that first
enter into the Korzok Phu Valley, then starts ascending up the slope
among some of the herbal flowers whose color and the fragrance filled
the valley. Then as we go around toward the back of the peak, some rocky
path makes difficult for the horses. The base camp of the peak is quite
windy and the camping area is rocky too.
Day 03: Base camp - Mentok Kangri Summit (6251m) 06 hrs.
The trek starts at around 02:00 am after having breakfast and then start
ascending towards Mentok Kangri. To climb up along that scary slope of
adjacent peak, probably above 6250 meters is technical and quite tough.
But be sure that you should summit the peaks before sunrise. When you
are at the top of the much-anticipated peak, it offers spectacular view
of Mt Kharlung and at the other side, Mt Chamser and Mt Lungser with all
those beautiful meadowy valleys and the blue lake all lying beneath.
After enjoying the view, slowly and steadily get down towards base camp
before it’s getting too late.
Day 04: Rest and explore around the lake
The day is rest to explore around the Lake and the village. Tsomoriri
Lake is famous for its clear blue lake with the nomadic families settled
around the lake. The local people consider the lake sacred. This lake
is the breeding ground for numerous species of bird like Bar Headed
Goose, great Crested Grebe, the Brahmin duck etc. Then visit the Korzok
monastery before you leave this memorable trek.
Day 05: Tsomoriri – Tsokar - Leh, 260 Kms / 9-10 hrs.
Early in the morning, the jeep will pick you up and drive on to
Polokkonka pass (13500 ft) and visit Tsokar (a small Lake). The place is
famous for wild Asses and the nomadic settlements. From there, short
drive brings you on national highway route (Leh-Manali). Continue
