Day 4. Today drive to Stok-Mankyurmo (4,240m/6hrs):
About three hours into the day's walk, a spurforces the river to take a sharp turn, passing the jagged ruins of the Staklang Khar Fort. This fort supposedly dating back to the 13th or 14th century, dominates the upper part of the gorge. From here the trail climbs steeply for a short distance to a saddle called Ton Ton, with its ritual cairn of rocks, decked with prayer flags and topped with the skulls and horns of Bharal (blue sheep). From here the path drops down to the stony river bed and then continues upstream, past the summer camp or 'doksa' of Chatang to another 'doksa' at Mankyurmo, where camp is set for the night.

Day 5. Today trek from Mankyurmo to Gyangpoche (4080m over Matho Pass (4878m)5 hrs:
The climb up to Matho La is strenuous and at the top travellers are often greeted by the high pitched, wild cry of the snowcock. The initial descent to the plain of the Upper Matho valley is steep. At the end, the trail crosses a couple of streams and camp is set near Gyangpoche Doksa. To the south it extends to the foot of the ice - clad bastion formed by Matho Kangri peak. The plain is full of life; white -tailed hares are abundant and whole colonies of Himalayan marmots can be seen stunning themselves outside their burrows, whistling sharply in alarm as they catch sight of a golden eagle circling above. O/n in camp.

Day 6. Gyanpoche to Base of Shang La (4,300m/6 hrs):
The first part of the day's walk goes eastwards across the plain, to the edge of the pastures. A 2 hour walk along a trail, descending to the bottom of one such valley, brings us to a stream which has to be followed by a long torturous climb of 2 to 3 hrs to the top, leading us through dry terrain with very little vegetation in this barren wilderness of shale, rock and sand. Camp is set on the bank of another stream which eventually meets the main Matho Nala. The descent is fairly steep, though not long. O/n in camp.

Day 7. Shang La Base to ShangPhu (4174m/8 hrs) over Shang La (4945 m):
Crossing the stream, the trail climbs up the opposite hill. Three to four hours of steady walking through relatively barren country, leads to Shang La which links the Matho Valley with the Shang Valley. From here the view to the south is spectacular. A gradual descent leads to a small stream, the trail continues along right hand side of river bank, through dense scrub vegetation. It is one of the loveliest parts of this trek. O/n Camp.

Day 8. Near Shang Phu to Martselang (3400m/7 hrs):
Some two hours after leaving camp, the trail goes through the pretty little village of Shang Perched high above to the left of the trail, the old gompa with its stone fences and complex braided irrigation system, dominates the valley. From here, the trail continues to the confluence of the Shang and the larger Martselang Nala, where there is a one house settlement called Sumdo. From Sumdo, the trail follows the Martselang Nala, crossing back and forth from one bank to the other, fording it numerous times, until it opens into the wide valley of the Indus. Vechiles wait here for the 1 hour drive to Stok and on to Leh.

Day 9. Drive towards the forbidden Rupshu Valley:
Only recently opened to foreign tourists. We drive via Thiksey monastery and camp near the village of Chumthang near the hot water spring.
