Zanskar Trekking (Ladakh)
Sandwiched between the Indus Valley and the main crest of the Indian Himalayas, Zanskar is a vast area larger than the state of Sikkim. In its remote and inaccessible setting well guarded by snowy mountain passes, Zanskar has kept alive an archaic form of Tibetan Buddhism. Most of the visitors travel to the remote parts of Zanskar region for trekking.
