Morning after breakfast you will be driven by taxi to Likir which is just 58 kms away. Likir Village (3650 mts.) is the starting point of our trek. Although the distance is short, the route is warm, without any shade or water and we need to traverse two passes.
Pass By: Rizong Monastery and Jelichun Nunnery, India
From Likir the route heads west up to Phobe La (3580m) and beyond this lies Sumdo village. The trail goes steadily upwards till you get to Chagatse La (3630m). The Ridzong Monastery lies about an hour south of Yangthang. Night stay at a Homestay in Yangthang .

Day 2: Yangthang to Hemis Shukpachen across Tsermang-chen La (8 km.; 2/3 hours)
Pass By: Hemis Shukpachan
Today is an easy walk despite the pass because both the approach and the descent are of gentle gradients. The trail heads north, descending for a bit, crossing a stream before climbing up west again to Tsermangchen La (3750m).
After a short rest at the pass we head down to Hemis Shukpachen. The village, named after the grove of cedars, is one of Ladakh’s prettiest. There are several sparkling streams surrounded by shady willows and large barley fields that provide a touch of green to the otherwise desolate, Rocky Mountains. Night stay at a Homestay in Hemis Shukpachen.

Day 3: Hemis Shukpachen to Temisgam across Mebtak La (10 km. 3 hrs)
Pass By: Pine Forest in Ang Village, Ang Village Dong Sang Commune, Moc Chau Vietnam
Again this is a fairly easy day. The trail goes upward between two hillocks west of the village upwards until it veers south and climbs steeply up to the Mebtak La (3750m) marked by prayer flags. From the pass we head down the gorge to Ang village. Our driver will meet you in And and will drive you back to Leh. End of tour.
