Zanskar Adventure Trek
Departure Dates 2023/2024 – 30 July, 20 August, 10 September
18 Day Trek – Grade A
This hard, but exciting trek, ventures deep into Zanskar crossing many passes (two are over 5000m), wild streams and trekking through isolated gorges and valleys. This trek takes in stunning views of the Zanskar and Ladakh ranges and takes us through villages that are inhabited by extremely friendly people who have preserved their Buddhist culture and heritage. You will see amazing wildlife, including wild donkeys and ibex (and if lucky a snow leopard), and the shepherds who graze their herds on these beautiful high altitude slopes and meadows.

High in the Indian Himalaya on the Tibetan Plateau, this region is more like ancient Tibet than Tibet itself. You can still experience the religious rituals and the monastery centred lifestyles that have disappeared from Chinese occupied Tibet. The trek crosses three passes over 5000m and numerous rivers.
