9 Days Zanskar Valley Itinerary

The Zanskar Range is in the union territory of Ladakh that separates Zanskar from Ladakh. Geologically, the Zanskar Range is part of the Tethys Himalayas. The average height of the Zanskar Range is about 6,000 m (19,700 ft). Zanskar or Zahar (locally) is sub-district or Tehsil of the Kargil district, its administrative centre is Padum. Zanskar, together with the neighbouring region of Ladakh, was briefly a part of the kingdom of Guge in Western Tibet.


They have never lost their cultural and religious heritage since the 8th century. This is also one of the rare regions in the Himalaya where traditional Tibetan culture, society, and buildings survived the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Since last 20 years, the opening of the roada and the massive movements of tourists and researchers have brought several changes to the traditional organisation of Zanskar.
This road runs through some of the beautiful places well known as Srinagar, Kargil, Padum / Karsha, Rangdum, Kargil and Leh. However these words are so small to explain the entire experience.

Explore the native culture, food, and thousand-year-old heritage by interacting with the warm, and gregarious locals.
