Early start with lots of excitement. Today’s route will take you over 3300m above sea level to over 5000m above sea level at Shinkula Pass. From Shinkula, the descend starts and takes you to 3500m above sea level in less than 10 km, so make sure you check your brakes before you start descending.
Once at Shinkula Pass in Zanskar, you head to Kargyak Village. The road from Shinkula Pass to Kargyak Village is 83 km long and the road is quite challenging. Although most of the road goes through vast and open spaces but it often submerges into rivers. These are not just streams or normal water crossings but full-fledged rivers that require a proper guidance and skills to cross. Out team will make sure to ease out this difficult terrain for you.
You'll soon be rewarded for your hard work by stunning views of Gonbo Ranhjon, a massive conical mountain that stands tall and mighty in the middle of the cold desert. The mountain is one of the most sacred ones among the people of Zanskar.
