Zanskar Valley Tourism

Zanskar Valley, nestled in the remote corner of Ladakh, is a semi-arid region situated in the northern Indian district of Kargil. Known for its rugged landscapes, the valley is framed by the majestic Zanskar mountain range. It's a place where the untamed Zanskar River flows, creating a spectacle of natural beauty, especially during the winter when it transforms into the famous 'Chadar Trek' over the frozen river. The region boasts a rich Buddhist heritage with numerous ancient monasteries like Stongdey, Karsha, and Phugtal, which are perched precariously on the mountainsides. Zanskar is also home to a unique culture, with villagers leading a life that has remained unchanged for centuries. The valley remains inaccessible for a major part of the year due to heavy snowfall, and only during the summer months can visitors experience its untouched beauty, vibrant festivals, and tranquil monastic life.
