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.
