The Sham Valley Trek travels through the Sham region, in the lower part of Ladakh, and is also referred to as the “baby trek” of Ladakh. The trip can be completed at any time of the year and is a wonderful way to learn about the communities and the Ladakhi people’s way of life. The journey begins in Likir and travels from there to Hemis Shukpachen at a height of 3700 metres. The Phobe La at 3580 metres, Mebtak La at 3750 metres, and Tsermangchen La situated at 3750 metres upholding a regular elevation, upholding a few highland drifts along the way, making it attractive for beginners and boosting family adventure activities in Ladakh.
