DAY 01 SASPOTSE- SHEPHERD'S PLACE

Drive by car from Leh to Saspotse. The pleasant 65 km drive along the Indus takes around 2 hrs. Saspotse is the village behind Likir on the less driven road to Hemis Schukpachen. Start in the centre of the village on 3795 m. There is a little gompa in the last but one house of the village on 3860 m. Continue the path through the valley to the North along the west side of the river Saspol Tokpo. When there is a river junction on 4.345 m, take the path to the west, continue for an hour and leave it to climb the ridge to the North to reach a shepherds place at 4.500 m. Camp


DAY 02 TREK SHEPHERDS PLACE - LAGO-LA BASE CAMP

Set off to the North a little up and down over moraines again along the river Saspol Tokpo. You come across a dried up lake (called Zingog) which can sometimes be used as a water supply dam. About 100 m away there is a small yellow lake called Tso Sermo. After an hour one comes across an abandoned shepherds place. Just before arriving in the Base Camp which is at a junction of three valleys, one has to cross a river. Camp for overnight.


DAY 03 LAGO-LA -RAKURUK DOKSA

Ascending North one comes across the lake Tso Chiang Gongma and finally reaches the pass Lago-la on 5400 m after 2-3 hrs. after departure. From here one has a great view over the Zanskar range to the South and the Saltoro Range to the North. For the descend one first has to cross a little glacier. In the end the snow turns into water and gurgles down the valley to turn into a river named Rhakura. On 5.100 m one comes across a huge valley of violet flowers. Getting down quite a bit to lower altitude one has to leave several camping possibilities and arrives slowly slowly to an old shepherds place called Rakuruk Doksa at the junction of two valleys. Camp for night.


DAY 04 RAKURUK DOKSA - RAKURUK

One follows down the Rakuruk river on the west side down along small pastures, gets glimpses of other valleys leading into the mountains and comes across a huge variety of vegetation. Finally one arrives in the small village of Rakuruk. Abundance of water makes the village green with fields of barley, pea and the vegetable gardens.


DAY 05 RAKURUK - SKURU

The sides of the river narrow until it becomes a small gorge where one has to follow the small path above the gurgling water. The gorge opens into the Nubra Valley at the small village of Skuru. Camp for the night.


DAY 06 SKURU - LEH

Drive back to Leh (150 km) via Khardong-la or use the chance to discover more of the Nubra Valley visiting the beautiful villages of Hundar, Deskit, Sumur etc
