6 Days Snow Trekking Tour Ladakh
Trip Overview
Rumak is an appropriate trekking destination to be attempted while you are in Leh during the winters. January, February, and March are the best months to experience the extremes of the seasons of frost in this part of the Himalayan horizon.
With Rumbak on the cards, you get to gear up for a sufficiently challenging real snow trek!

- Authentic homestay
- Snow Leopard Sanctuary
- Small group size
- Stay in hotels/guesthouses
