River rafting on Zanskar River:
This frigid
river originates from the high altitude plateau of Sarchu on the border of Himachal Pradesh and
jammu and
kashmir. Originally known as the Tsarap the
river gorges a path out of the rocky mountains of western Himalayas, dropping in a continuous torrent of class V rapids. The
river then eases into the forbidden Kingdom of
Zanskar and slowly flows past the capital at
Padum. Here it joins with the Stod
river which flows down from the Pensi La pass on the road from
Kargil to
Padum.It is from this confluence of the Tsarap and Stod
rivers that the mighty
Zanskar takes birth.
The
river rafting expedition takes you through one of the most breathtaking gorges in Asia. The stark, barren and rocky massifs are interspersed with colorful bands of mineral deposits, which run through entire mountainsides giving it a picture book finish. The expedition finishes at the confluence of the Indus and the
Zanskar rivers at Nimmu. The same
river in winters is famous for the great Ice walk on the
river from Nimmu till
Padum and back.
Note: The waters of
Zanskar are frigid at 6 -7 degrees Celsius. Wet suits are mandatory on this trip .
