Lasermo La is one of Ladakh’s most rewarding pass-crossing treks, tracing an old Silk Route corridor from the outskirts of Leh into the hidden green pocket of the Nubra Valley. Over roughly 12 days, you move through gorges, high meadows, and remote camps to cross Lasermo La (5,420m) a true high-altitude milestone that feels earned, not rushed.
This is a trek where outcomes depend on how well the expedition is run. We operate Lasermo La as a private, premium, customized expedition with an acclimatization-first approach: conservative pacing, tight camp planning, and proactive altitude protocols designed to maximize comfort and success. For private teams, we can maintain a high guide-to-climber ratio (up to 1:2) when conditions and group profile demand it, plus superior support crew and logistics so you can focus on the walking, not survival admin.
The best season is typically June to October. Expect crisp, mountain-cold nights at the higher camps (often around -5°C to 6°C), with clear days that open up Ladakh’s dramatic scale. You’ll pass clear streams, wide flowered meadows, and wildlife habitat where sightings can include marmots, urial, red fox, and, on rare days, even kiang and wolves at a distance.
The arrival into Nubra is the payoff: a sudden softness of fields and villages, framed by harsh, beautiful mountains. Nubra’s dunes and the rare Bactrian camels are a living echo of the Silk Road, while monasteries like Diskit and Samstaling reflect the region’s deep Tibetan cultural thread. Lasermo La is for trekkers who want a remote Himalayan journey done properly: private, well-supported, and designed for a high-success summit-style crossing rather than a hurried “tick-box” itinerary.
