...3 6000m + peaks for $261.56 USD...or I can do them solo for free (other than the couple of bucks for the ILP (Inner Line Permit)... There are some small crevasses on the routes...so the safe bet would be to hire the guide to rope-up to...Additional days for additional peaks would only cost a little over 50 bucks...
The point of the post...If you have a couple of thousand bucks that you can afford to use...this part of the Himalaya is really worth the visit...a s-load less expensive than Nepal...and just as beautiful...and if you like to trek, or climb, there's no comparison between Ladakh and Nepal/Tibet when comparing costs (I wish I could have some of that Nepal/Tibet money back for climbs here...) easily accessible mountains go up to 7500m...you saw the quote above...and climbing can be even cheaper is you can schedule with a group...some 4 day treks are advertised at around 80 bucks...question to ask is whether you'd have to pay your own homestay fees...that would make it about $50 more expensive...
Let me know if you want to hear more about the trip...it's been an interesting start...finally starting to feel human again on Day 3...
