About Zanskar Valley
The soul of Zanskar Valley.
Zanskar is a remote sub-district of the Kargil district in Ladakh, hemmed in by the Zanskar and Great Himalayan ranges. Cut off from the world for 6 months each winter when its only road disappears under snow, Zanskar is most famous for the Chadar Trek — a journey across the frozen Zanskar River. In summer, the valley opens via Kargil through the Pensi La pass, revealing ancient monasteries, roaring rivers, and a civilization unchanged for centuries.
