Lamayuru To Chiling Via The Dung Dung La |
 |
Highest
Altitude: 4,820m
Duration: 5 Days
Alternate Trek: Sumdo Chinmu Village To Alchi Via
The Stakspi La
The old caravan route to Lamayuru diverges from the
Kargil-Leh road at the Fatu-la. As one descends from
the pass, one can appreciate the impressive line of
Mani walls and contents, which lead down to the
village.
OPTION: SUMDO CHINMU VILLAGE TO ALCHI VIA THE
STAKSPI LA
From Sumdo Chinmu follow the trail down the valley
past the base of the Dung Dung la. This entails
following a rough trail, which crosses the river
several times before it diverts to a side ridge to
the north of the valley. The trail then leads up and
over to the village of Sumdo Choon.
(Note: Sumdo Choon 'little village, Sumdo Chinmu
'big village')
At Sumdo Choon there is a small monastery affiliated
with Alchi. Above the village there is a trail
leading to the base of the Stakspi la (4, 970m). On
the second stage there is a short, steep ascent to
the Stakspi la and grand views of the Ladakh range.
The trail descends quite steeply to a small grazing
area and shepherds' shelter and a possible campsite.
(This is a useful camp spot if one is doing the trek
in reverse out from Alchi.) It is a further three
hours down to Alchi (3,200m), where there is a
regular campsite cum restaurant close to the
monastery. A further three to 4-km along the jeep
track takes one to the Alchi Bridge, and the main
highway to Leh . |
