The baby trek as it is popularly known passes through the Sham region of
the Trans-Himalayan Ladakh. Compared to Markha Valley trek, or Stok Kangri
expedition or DzoJongo trek, Sham trek is much shorter and easier making it the
perfect trek circuit for trekkers who does not have much time on hand along
with much needed experience for other treks. This trek however short it may be
is much tiering because of the altitude of the region (4000 meters above sea
level).
This trek circuit, for most of the time, passes through beautiful
villages, resided by locals, untouched by the harsh modern world. This trek is
the only trek where you will get an amazing experience of the pure form of
Ladakh in the shortest of time span. Because of its shorter duration and the
opportunity to see traditional Ladakhi village life, this is a really
gratifying trip. The circuit crosses through villages like, Likir, Yangthang,
Hemis Shukpachan, and Temisgam each with its own kind of beauty and wonders.
Let’s dig deeper into the details:
