Who we are

Three brothers from Skiu, and the ponies they grew up with.

Tsokar Trails is run by three brothers who grew up in Skiu village in the Markha valley, carrying loads for trekkers. Since 2009 we have led over 4,000 people across Ladakh’s passes with our own ponies, cooks and tents.

What customers say

Sample reviews, written for this demo. Real customer reviews replace them on your store.

Our guide noticed my headache before I did and changed the plan quietly. I crossed Kongmaru La the next day.

The cook made fresh bread at 4,500 m. Ten days on the trail and not one repeated dinner.

We saw a snow leopard on day five, through the spotter’s scope, for twenty minutes. I still cannot believe it.

Questions

Before you book

Answers to what customers ask us most. More on the questions page.

How fit do I need to be?

For Markha you should be able to walk 6–7 hours with a light pack for several days. We send a 6-week plan; regular stair climbing and long walks work well.

What about altitude sickness?

We build two rest days into every trip, check oxygen levels and pulse twice a day, and carry oxygen. If symptoms do not ease, the guide arranges descent; your safety comes first.

When is the best time to go?

June to September for summer treks, January and February for the Chadar, February and March for snow leopards. Passes above 5,000 m usually open in late June.

What is included in the price?

Tents, sleeping mats, all meals on the trek, guides, cooks, ponies, permits and transport from Leh. Flights, hotel nights in Leh and insurance are extra.
