Ladakh
There are few places left
in the world like Ladakh. It lies in the great Himalayan Rain
Shadow, so
 receives
no Monsoon during the summer. In summer it is high, arid forests
surrounded by vast peaks and trisected by the swift, snow laden
India
and Zanskar
rivers. The landscape resembles Tibet and Is often referred as "
Little Tibet".
Zanskar
Approach- About 465 kms from Leh (Ladakh) via Kargil and Trek over
Shingula pass from Darcha.
About 20 kms south-east of Rangdum stands the Pazila watershed
across which lies Zanskar, the most isolated of all the trans-
himalayan valleys. The Penzila Top (4400 m) is a picturesque table
land adorned with two small alpine lakes and surrounded by snow
covered peaks. As the Zanskar road winds down the steep slopes of
the watershed to the head of the Stod Valley, one of the Zanskar's
main tributary valleys, the majestic "Drang Drung" glacier looms
into full view. A long and winding river of ice and snow, the "Drang
Drung" is perhaps the largest glacier in Ladakh, outside the
Siachin formation. It is from the cliff- like snout of this
extensive glacier that the Stod or Doda river, the main tributary
of River Zanskar, rises.
