Description

Parang La Pass

We recommend a prior high altitude Himalayan trek experience for Parang La pass.

The trek route (from Kibber to Parang La) is neither very strenuous nor very steep or demanding.

The trail gets taxing from Parang La pass though, as you have to traverse at an altitude of above 4200 m to 5538 m on consecutive days.

Also, there are plenty of stream crossings (between the pass and Korzok stretch) and a long and tricky river crossing — that becomes trickier if the water levels are high.

Korzok is located almost 200 km away from Leh Town. You have to book your own transport to reach this village (bus travel is severely limited). It is among one of the highest villages in the world. According to history, the village was on the Central Asian Trade route — the Silk Route — until 1947.

What Does Parang-La Trek Cost In 2025?

It starts from 60,000₹. The actual cost shall be based on the number of factors like the group size, pick-up place, trek dates, and add-ons availed (like backpack offloading, stay before or after the trek and transit service after completing the trek).

  • Our guides are certified and have been trekking the Himalayas since their school days (all are local guides). They are well equipped and well versed with the terrain, route, the people and local culture.

  • When it comes to packing for a trek in an efficient way so that you have maximum flexibility with minimum weight, we advise trekkers to pack only what it essentially needed. Packing things that are not required will overburden porters & mules and hamper the probability of competing a high altitude trek like Lamkhaga.

  • There will be toilet tents. Our team digs a hole in the ground and then erects a toilet tent around it for privacy. We brief our guides to erect the toilet tent away from water sources and mountain streams, and on departure the next morning the hole will be filled and covered with dirt. We recommend that you always keep a roll of toilet paper and a hand sanitizer in your daypack.

  • We have a camp crew who set up the tents and also take care of the cooking and clearing up the trash.
