Conquer the Mountains of Ladakh: Join the Ultimate Mount Shapat Peak Expedition

Mount Shapat is a ~6,200 m Himalayan peak located in Ladakh, India. It lies in the remote eastern ranges, east of the Indus Valley—near the stark, high-altitude deserts of the Changthang Plateau and Zanskar. This region is renowned for its dramatic scenery, salt lakes like Tso Kar and Tso Moriri, and authentic nomadic culture.
