DAY 03 : SHINGRA YOKMA - SHINGRA GOKMA (3350 M) (TREK 3 - 4 HRS)
We begin the day at 7:00 am with a cup of hot tea. After breakfast, we set off on the “Chadar” which will be our routine for the rest of the trek. Today, we will trek close to 6-7 kms depending on the fitness of the group. Though our objective would be to get to Shingra Gokma we could camp after also in case the going gets tough during the day. This is something that we would follow all through the trek where we would keep the itinerary flexible to accommodate the group depending on fitness levels. Overnight in trekking tents.
DAY 04 : SHINGRA GOKMA - TIBB CAVE (3400 M) (TREK / 5 - 6 HRS)
Post breakfast, we set off for Tibb Cave. Today we trek through the deep gorges of the Zanskar valley with sheer cliffs on both sides. The lack of direct sunlight keeps the snow well packed for the trek. We end the day at the big cave here which is used by the locals when traversing this valley and set up camp for the night. Overnight in trekking tents.
DAY 05 : TIBB CAVE - NYERAK (3680 M) (TREK / 6 - 7 HRS)
Post breakfast, we continue the walk through the gorges to the Nyerak village. Enroute we pass a large frozen waterfall which is gushing water during the non-winter season and is a stop point on our rafting trips down the Zanskar river during the Aug-Sep period. Today we camp below the Nyerak village and one can go up to the village in the evening. Overnight in trekking tents.
DAY 06 : NYERAK -TIBB CAVE ( 3400 M) (TREK / 6 - 7 HRS)
Post breakfast, we begin to retrace our steps on the return trek. Though we will be returning by the same route, a lot of the trail would have changed as the river changes by the hour during the season depending on the temperature and sunlight. So in most cases it will be like a different trail itself!! We camp overnight at the Tibb cave. Overnight in trekking tents.
