Sham valley trek with Himalaya Shelter

The Sham valley trek, often called the “Baby Trek” of Ladakh, is a perfect introduction to high-altitude hiking, offering a blend of scenic beauty and cultural richness. Set in the lower altitudes of the Ladakhi Himalayas, this easy to moderate trek passes through charming villages like Likir, Yangthang, and Hemis Shukpachan, surrounded by apricot orchards, barley fields, and ancient monasteries. With gentle trails, homestay experiences, and panoramic views of rugged mountains, the Sham Valley Trek is ideal for beginners, families, or anyone looking to experience Ladakh’s serene landscapes without the extreme altitude challenges.
