Questions and answers
Everything customers ask Tsokar Trails most. Can’t find yours? Message us.
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.
Do I need travel insurance?
Yes. Your policy must cover trekking up to the highest point of your trip and helicopter evacuation. For the Chadar it is also required by the local administration.
How do I book?
Choose a service, a day and a time, and send the request. We confirm on WhatsApp, usually within the hour.
