Zanskar – Day Walks and Monasteries September 5-13 2026

In earlier times Zanskar used to be cut off for more than six months of the year due to heavy snowfall in winter and the frozen Zanskar river was the only means of connecting the villages of Zanskar to the capital Leh. This route later became famous as the Chadar trek. However, there is a new road now along the Zanskar river through Chilling connecting Leh to the capital of Zanskar, …
Tso Kar to Tso Moriri – The Lakes of Ladakh August 2026
If you are fit and can manage only one trek in Ladakh, I recommend this one. The trails are relatively free of noisy tourists who prefer the great herd at Markha. Here, the rolling, billowing grasslands stretching out as far as the horizon are usually empty, giving one the sense of infinite, almost primordial space. Occasionally you will chance upon a nomad on horseback herding his great lumbering, shaggy yaks. Ranging across the western extension of the high Tibetan or Changthang plateau, the trek…
