| If
you are looking for a relatively short,
moderately difficult, and utterly beautiful
trek, then this is the one for you!.
It is well- known as the "ancient
silk route" for camel traders,
bringing their wares from Central Asia
through the Himalayas into northern
India. Although traders are a thing
of the past, they left an indelible
mark on the Valley in the form of the
present herd of bactrian camels, descendents
of the original beasts of burden. The
beauty of the trek is surpassed only
by the final day- a spectacular bus
or jeep ride over the highest motorable
road in the world 5606 m. |

believed among Buddhists that raising
a prayer flag atop the pass brings good
