Tsomothang Summit Expedition 6030 Metres (22 Days)

The Tsomothang Summit Expedition is a 22-day high-altitude journey through remote valleys and high passes of Ladakh. This route combines long trekking stages, a dedicated base-camp period, and a summit attempt, following a gradual approach designed for proper acclimatization and steady progression.

Starting from Leh, the expedition moves into quieter landscapes beyond the main travel corridors, passing through small settlements and lesser-visited routes that lead toward the Tsomothang area. Along the way, travel is entirely on foot between camps, crossing mountain passes and following terrain shaped by water, wind, and seasonal movement.

The climb is supported by a structured camp system, including a dedicated rest day at base camp before the summit attempt. After the summit day, the route continues onward toward Kanji and Rangdum, before returning by road via Kargil to Leh.

This expedition is best suited to experienced trekkers who are comfortable with sustained days on the trail and high-altitude conditions. A safety-first approach, realistic pacing, and careful acclimatization are essential to the overall success and enjoyment of the journey.

If desired, the expedition logistics and level of support can be adjusted to match your team’s experience, preferred comfort level, and specific objectives.

Trip Tips

The Tsomothang Summit Expedition takes place in a remote high-altitude environment.
The following tips will help you prepare and travel more comfortably and safely.

Acclimatization
Proper acclimatization is essential. Take rest days seriously, stay well hydrated,
and communicate openly with your guide about how you are feeling at altitude.

Physical Preparation
This expedition is best suited to experienced trekkers with good physical conditioning.
Regular cardiovascular training, hiking with a loaded pack, and basic mountaineering
skills are strongly recommended before arrival.

Weather and Conditions
Mountain weather in Ladakh can change quickly. Be prepared for cold temperatures,
strong winds, and occasional snowfall, even during the trekking season.
Flexibility in scheduling is important.

Personal Equipment
Bring reliable, well-tested personal gear, including warm layers, waterproof clothing,
sturdy trekking boots, and a suitable sleeping bag. All personal equipment should be
familiar to you before the expedition begins.

Health and Safety
Comprehensive travel and medical insurance covering high-altitude trekking and
evacuation is mandatory. Inform the team in advance of any medical conditions
or dietary requirements.

Remote Travel
Facilities along the route are very limited. Electricity, mobile network coverage,
and access to supplies may be unavailable for extended periods.

Environmental Responsibility
Please follow Leave No Trace principles. Carry out all non-biodegradable waste
and respect local landscapes, wildlife, and water sources.

Local Culture
When passing through villages and religious sites, dress modestly and ask permission
before taking photographs of people or private property.
