Along the way, trekkers cross rivers, walk through stunning canyons, and encounter rare wildlife like the Himalayan blue sheep and snow leopards. The best time to trek Markha Valley is from June to September, when the weather is pleasant, and the landscape is at its most vibrant. Whether you seek adventure, solitude, or a cultural immersion, the Markha Valley Trek is an unforgettable journey into the heart of the Trans-Himalayan region.
