Discover Zanskar
About the destination
Zanskar is one of Ladakh's most rugged regions, known for river gorges, remote monasteries, high passes, and expedition-style road journeys. The landscape is sharper and more isolated than the main Leh circuits, with turquoise rivers cutting through brown cliffs and villages appearing between long stretches of wilderness. Travellers usually visit for Padum, Phugtal Monastery, adventure routes, rafting, trekking, and photography. It is best suited to guests who want a deeper, less polished Ladakh experience with flexible travel time.
