Zanskar Trek

This trek is a popular classic the experience of the lifetime, starting from near Whisky Bridge (near brandynala); zanskar has a harsh climate, is extremely dry and is almost totally isolated during the winter. The scenery excellent views and fantastic landscape in the changing light in this trek. Between the Himalayan and the Indus valley and to the west of the Rupshu region can be found the isolated valley Zanskar, the population of which is Buddhist. There are many high passes but since it is too difficult to pass through its gorges, the Zanskar River cuts its way through it all, across flatlands and sown canyons, adding a surrealistic touch to the scene. We finally walk into lamayuru where the trek ends. Enroute we see monasteries built as early as the 10th centuries. When we last day we had lunch in alchi. Alchi is a village and monasteries name and that is famous monasteries built in 11th century after lunch we visit that monasteries.
