Parang La Trek – The Ancient Trade Route from Spiti to Ladakh

The Parang La Trek is an epic trans-Himalayan trail connecting Kibber in Spiti to Korzhok in Ladakh. Once an ancient trade route used by nomads, this trek takes adventurers across glaciers, rivers, and windswept plains. At an altitude of 18,300 feet, the Parang La Pass challenges even seasoned trekkers. Yet, the vastness of the landscapes, dotted with blue sheep and rare birds, rewards every ounce of effort. The route passes through high-altitude camps, culminating at the turquoise Tso Moriri Lake—a sight that feels otherworldly. The trek blends adventure, solitude, and cultural immersion. Trekkers traverse the rugged beauty of Spiti and end amidst the Buddhist monasteries of Ladakh, experiencing two distinct Himalayan worlds in one journey. It’s a trail of endurance and enlightenment—where the path itself becomes a teacher.
