About the place

The feeling of Zanskar Valley

Zanskar Valley unfolds through deep gorges, high mountain passes and traditional villages shaped by centuries of isolation.

Around Padum, old monasteries and quiet settlements sit beneath stark peaks, while remote routes towards Phuktal, Zangla and Rangdum reveal one of Ladakh’s most powerful landscapes.
