Zanskar Valley, Leh Ladakh

 

Zanskar Valley, Leh Ladakh



The enchanting Zanskar Valley is located in Kargil district in eastern Ladakh (about 105 km). It is pronounced Zahar or Zangskar by the locals and is separated from Ladakh by the Zanskar mountain range, which is part of the Tethys Himalayas. Zanskar is known for its rugged landscape and is mostly travelled for trekking and river rafting.


The semi-desert region is flanked by snow-capped mountains and sparkling clean rivers, and boasts unique flora and fauna. The easiest way to reach Zanskar is from Kargil through the Suru Valley. Due to heavy snowfall in the region, it is cut off from the rest of the world for over 9 months of the year. The only way to reach Zanskar in the winter months from December to February is the challenging Chadar Trek.

Sangam, Leh Ladakh

Image
  Sangam, Leh Ladakh Sangam is the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers in Ladakh. It is located 35 km from Leh in Nimmu, on the Leh-Srinagar highway. The two rivers can be seen separately at this point. While the Indus is a bright blue, the Zanskar River is muddy green. It is a spectacular sight that you can experience here. The flow of the two rivers at Sangam changes according to the season. While the Zanskar River is swollen and raging in summer, the Indus River is calmer. In winter, the Zanskar slows down and almost freezes, while the flow of the Indus is even less. The Indus is one of the longest rivers in Asia and rises in Tibet. The Zanskar River originates in the Zanskar Valley region.
