About this experience
Shying away in the remote corners of Ladakh, Zanskar Valley is like a secret whisper of the Himalayas which isn't exposed to the outer world. Owning breathtaking landscapes and unique geographical formations, Zanskar is a sweet melody to nature admirers. Emerald rivers, high mountain passes, century-old monasteries, arid barren desert overlooking the blue sky and unparalleled Buddhist culture - this place has it all. Zanskar is said to be ideal for adventure enthusiasts who want to be teleported to an earthly moonland.
