Itinerary description
Second stage. Ascension to the Ganda La (4950 meters), that gives access to the valley of Markha, and long descent to the town of Skiu. The stage is long but very beautiful. The place is a paradise for geologists and, despite the arid landscape, has abundant wildlife. We saw blue sheeps, hares, marmots, golden eagle, lammergeier, etc.
