Zanskar Trek

Here is an opportunity for only the hardiest and most adventurous trekker, 14 to 20 km of rough, tough and wonderful views every day for two weeks!

You and your group will be led among Western Himalaya's premier long-distance footpath, which links Darcha in Lahaul with Padum in Zanskar and Photoksar in Ladakh. As you traverse old pack-horse trails, shepherd's tracks and ancient routes, you will cross several rivers including Chandra, Bhaga, Tsarap, Doda, Zanskar and Indus. Along the way, you will visit: Phuktal monastery, which is built under a huge cave; Sani gompa, Mani gompa, Burdan gompa, Karsha gompa and Lingshed gompa.

En route we'll also pass shepherds with their flocks of sheep and climb beautiful snow covered passes, such as Shingo la (5100m), Hunuma la (4800m) and Sengge la (5060m) with panoramic views of the Great Himalayan range.

The trek terminates at Photoskar, from where we'll drive to Leh along the Yapola river gorge and finally along the Indus river.
