|Trekking in Ladakh-
Padum-Lamayuru Trek|
North of the Great Himalayan range,
amongst a tangled knot of jagged mountains, lies a rugged and
fascinating land, the once independent kingdom of Zanskar.
Sandwiched
between the Indus Valley and the main crest of the Indian Himalaya,
this remote and inaccessible setting, well guarded by snowy mountain
passes, has kept alive an archaic form of Tibetan Buddhism which
flourishes in chain of far-flung monasteries, most of which occupy
spectacular fortified locations, high on rocky ridges in isolated
valleys. Lovely
high meadow camp sites and dry desert land, high passes and
snow-capped peaks stunning scenery, Buddhist monasteries and
picturesque villages with their irrigated fields of barley and
potatoes, and fascinating encounters with the Zanskari people turn a
trek in this area into an unforgettable experience.
