The Phyang–Hunder Trek is a spectacular high-altitude trail in Ladakh, connecting the Indus Valley to the Nubra Valley through the scenic and challenging Lasermo La Pass at 5,430 meters.
Starting from Phyang village, located about 20 km from Leh and known for its ancient monastery, the trek ascends through rugged mountain landscapes, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys. The crossing of Lasermo La offers panoramic views of the Zanskar and Karakoram ranges.
Descending into the Nubra Valley, the trail ends at Hunder, a beautiful village famous for its sand dunes, Bactrian camels, and proximity to Diskit Monastery.
This 5–6 day trek is ideal for trekkers seeking a blend of raw Himalayan beauty, physical challenge, and cultural richness—away from the more crowded routes. The best time to undertake this trek is July to September.
Day 01 :
- Early morning flight from Delhi to Leh, transfer to hotel and rest.
Day 02 :
- Day trip to visit Shey and Thikse monasteries.
Day 03:
- Leh – Spituk and Phyang visit by jeep. We will drive to Spituk, Phyang monastery, 17km. west of Leh is remarkably built on the hilltop, similar to the Likir monastery. This monastery belongs to the Gelukpa and Degungpa Order. Camp at Phyang phu. Optional (Trek from Phyang monastery to Phu 2 hrs)
Day 04: Phyang phu - South base of Lasermo 4700m (4 hrs trek).
- After a leisurely breakfast, we will continue our trek to the base of Lasermo La 4700 m.
Day 05: South base of Lasermo - North base via Lasermola 5400m (6-7 hrs trek).
- Today we start quite early in the morning as we will cross the Lasermo Pass (5400m). The top of Lasermo pass offers stunning panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, the Indus valley and the Shayok Valley. The trail from the pass towards our camp passes rough moraines for an hour and a half. It is important to start early, as the ponies must cross the glacier before midday in order to avoid difficulties arising from snow and ice melting.
Day 06: North base - Hundar Dok (5 hrs trek)
- Today we will walk down through meadows, flowers, and sometimes rocks. Most of the time, we will be walking along the Hundar stream. After following the stream for a while, we will pass through shepherds' huts, where the men and women from Hundar Dok Village live with their Yaks, cows, goats and sheep. They could be seen collecting milk, cheese, butter, wild vegetables and fuel for the winter. If you feel adventurous, you can taste the delicious milk and cheese with Tsampa. Purchasing these is not possible in Leh. Our campsite is just above the Village of Dok Gongma (Upper Dok).
Day 07: Hunder upper dok - Skarchen (5 hrs trek)
- Another beautiful day. We will pass through the villages of Dok Gongma, Dok Yokma and Wachan, which are names of different places with concentrations of scattered houses belonging to a common village known locally as Hundar Dok. If you are not in a hurry to get to your camp at Skarchen (a place where some of the local families go with their animals during the winter), you can spend sometime exploring the villages and share a few moments getting to know the locals.
Day 08: Skarchen - Hunder (4 hrs trek)
- The last day of trekking is through the beautiful Hunder Gorge, which opens up just before descending to Hunder Bridge. Before the final descent we will have a great view of Saser Kangri Peak (7672m). Upon arrival check in to the tents and later visit Sumur, another pretty village on the other side of the river.
Day 09: Hunder (4350m) - Khardungla (5260m) Leh
- Drive across Shyok river and visit hot springs at Panamik. Drive back to Leh over Khandurgla Pass (the highest motorable road in the world) at 5260m. Overnight at the hotel.
