Quite spontaneously we went on another trek – this time in the Gahrwal Himalayas, located in the state of Uttarakhand, north-east of Delhi. We made Rishikesh our base for a couple of days. Since we did not have a detailed plan, it took us a few days to prepare for the trek. We couldn’t decide for long, exactly where to go and what route we want to take. Eventually we decided basing on a quick and direct access from Rishikesh to starting point and uncomplicated return.

Third part of our “Asia na lajcie” trip – Trekking to Stok Kangri, easily accessible from Leh in four days.
Amritsar – the holy city for the followers of Sikhism – a place very different from all that we have visited in India so far. Sikhs are people pious, kind and helpful. The main principle of the religion adopted by them, is a service of the common good, in Amritsar the tradition of creating a community, a place for all people is being continued. The central point of the city is the Golden Temple, rising on a nectar lake (amrit sar). Life goes on here 24 hours a day: people pray, talk, eat, sit, lie – or just be – all the time. Undeniably it is well worth visiting Amritsar just to experience the atmosphere of that place, but there is much more to see in the city!

Second part of the movie from our trip “Azja na lajcie” – Trekking in Ripchar and Markha Valleys and summiting six-thousand-er Kang Yatze (6253 m).
Trekking selected by us consists of two stages: the first part of the route passes rarely visited by tourists Ripchar Valley, the second goes via popular Markha Valley. These routes can be done as one long nine days trekking, or two separate, short treks of 5 and 4 days respectively. Read more…
While planning our several days trekking, we were looking for interesting, but not too technical six-thousand peaks. The choice was obvious – the hightest in the area surrounding Leh – Kang Yatze reaching 6400 m, situated continently at the end of the Markha Valley trekking.

Leh – mountain town located at an altitude of 3500 m above sea level is in our subjective opinion one of the best Indian highlights. This place is a must see, indeed! It’s definitely worth staying here for longer and explore the surroundings or go for trekking for a few days.

Kanglacha – mountain named Stok Kangri by the British, is really popular amongst foreigners since the 80s. This relatively easy six thousand-er can be done in 3 days from Leh. The record time to climb it is supposedly 10h 45min, done by some German guy, as the locals say.
