Highlights

It is a highly adventurous journey and gives the feeling of true exploration. In fact only a handful of Westerners have ever completed the journey. Temperatures at night could fall below minus 30 Degree Celcius. There is a good chance of seeing Ibex and Blue Sheep on our way. If we are really lucky, we could spot a Winter Fox or a Snow Leopard. The round trip is approximately 140 miles long, and is used in mid winter by Ladakhi postmen to take mail from Leh to Padum. Other hardy Zanskaris use it as a trade route in winter and call it 'the Chadar' or frozen blanket. Any person thinking of joining this unique adventure must be fully prepared to tough camping condition, some nights we may sleep in caves and in Zanskar we may sleep on the flat roofs of the houses. A head for heights may be useful and certainly a patient, flexible attitude will be an asset as anything could happen and probably will.
