India Zanskar River Rafting
India Zanskar River Rafting
The last truly lost horizon of our planet awaits in Zanskar, 'the land of white copper,' where a pristine river canyon snakes through towering mountains. Traveling west from Leh (11,483 feet), feel the Tibetan spirit of the Ladakh region. Roam Buddhist monasteries and gompas, bustling markets, ancient palaces, and remote villages in the embrace of the Himalayas. At the Stod River, begin a multi-day river adventure down the remote Zanskar River Gorge. Paddle Class III and IV rapids through narrow passages, flanked by sky-high mountain walls, all the way to the fork of the Indus River. Experience Ladakh's warm hospitality and rest at riverside camps under starry night skies. This adventure celebrates MT Sobek's first descent of the Zanskar in 1979!
