Explore Zanskar — Manali, Lahul & Zanskar Tour Package
Raw. Remote. Real. Journey from lush Manali across Rohtang Pass into the stark, high-altitude desert of Zanskar on this 4 Nights / 5 Days expedition. This is off-the-map travel into 1000-year-old Buddhist culture, river confluences, snow peaks and some of the most rugged motorable passes in the Himalayas — best undertaken June to September.
Acclimatize in Jispa before crossing the legendary Shinkula Pass (16,580 ft) into Padum, the administrative capital of Zanskar. Explore centuries-old monasteries at Karsha and Sani, and camp near the sacred peak of Gombo Rangan before returning to Manali via the Atal Tunnel.
