Zanskar Rafting - Destinationz 360



The most exotic rafting expeditions in the world.

The expedition on the Zanskar river is completely self supported, and passes through the steep gorges carved out by the river over countless years. The Zanskar gorge has been referred to as the 'Grand Canyon' of Asia by many explorers.

The river is graded as Class IV, and it passes through very remote and difficult to access terrain of Ladakh. The river's water is very cold ( around 7 degrees Celsius ), and cold water gear like wet sutis etc are necessary. 

In the winters, the Zanskar river freezes, and the local inhabitants use it for accessing the outer world. Amongst trekkers also this is famous as the 'Chadar Trek'.

Described here a schedule for participants who would like to join us from Leh. 

This trip is a combination of the experience of Jeep Safari, Monastery visits, and rafting in one of the most exotic and isolated gorges of the world. Enroute we would be visiting the Lamayuru Monastery, Rangdum Monastery, Karsha Gompa and Alchi Monastery.
