Zanskar Valley

Highlights & Attractions

Zanskar doesn't show up on most people's Ladakh plans. Which is honestly the best thing about it.

While the rest of Ladakh fills up every summer, Zanskar stays quiet. The roads are rougher, the villages are smaller, and the mountains don't ease you in gently - they just arrive, all at once, and you deal with it. This trip crosses the Shinkula Pass at 16,703 feet, passes the sacred mountain of Gonbo Rangjon, follows the Tsarap River through Purne, and eventually puts you on foot in front of Phugtal Gompa — a monastery built into a cave in a canyon wall that monks have lived in for over 2,500 years.

Nothing prepares you for it. In Padum you visit Karsha Monastery, the oldest and largest in Zanskar, and drive out to the Drang Drung Glacier

— one of the biggest glaciers in the Indian Himalayas. These are not tourist stops. They are just what Zanskar looks like on an ordinary day. If you have done Leh and Manali and want to know what comes after that — this is it.
