If you're craving a Himalayan trek that’s not too easy, not too intense but just right, the Lamayuru to Chilling Trek might be your next big thing. It's often a highlight in many Ladakh travel packages, especially for those who love a good balance of adventure and culture.
This moderately difficult trek takes around 4 to 5 days, starting from the ancient Lamayuru Monastery, famous for its lunar-like "Moonland" landscape—and ending at Chilling, a charming village known for its skilled metal artisans. On the way, you’ll cross three scenic mountain passes—Prinkti La, Konski La and Dung Dung Chan La—each offering stunning views of the Zanskar and Stok ranges. The trail winds through peaceful villages like Wanla, Hinju and Sumda Chenmo, where you can enjoy Ladakhi hospitality and even stay with locals.
It’s ideal if you want to explore offbeat Ladakh without diving into high altitude extremes. Bonus tip: pair it with a Leh Ladakh bike trip for double the thrill!
