Overview
Zanskar Rafting expedition is one of the top few, exotic and remote, river trips in the world.
Our river trip starts from Remala, which would qualify as one of the highest rafting put in locations possible on the planet. The river journey flows through deep gorges and traverses across harsh inhospitable geography of Ladakh, in one of the remotest and sparsely inhabited regions of the world.
The expedition starts as a road journey from Leh, and travels through scenic landscape to Kargil, and further to Remala near Padum. The river trip flows through the amazing sheer gorges of Zanskar right up to Nimo where the river confluences with Indus.
The trip can be further enhanced by taking up few exciting road excursions around Leh as per individual interests.
We recommend our guests to extend their stay at Leh to visit places of interest like Pangong lake, Khardongla, Tsomoriri, Shey, Thiksey, Hemis and Nubra to name a few. We can help in arranging the extension, or they are welcome to plan this part of the vacation on their own.
