Crossing the Shyok River
Mountains, like men, have their history. They too are born, grow, decay and die. One cannot claim that, like men, they love, but it is true – and how true – they are loved.

Zanskar – Kishtwar
Zanskar-Kishtwar has very few roads. The main artery roads runs in centre of these valleys and most side valleys are left for trekkers to enjoy. But for armchair traveller to see these mountains in relative comfort these roads are your best bet and hence jeep-safaris have become popular.. It allows a visitor to savour its history, people, culture and forests and of course views of peaks.
Kurgiak Pinnacle
Woven with a rich but turbulent and complicated history, it is a most enjoyable place to travel. But various political uncertainties had prevented trekking and climbing for almost two decades. But situation is now steady. Zanskar is also now being connected with road to Manali on one side and Leh in the north. Thus possibilities for trekking and climbing will increase many folds.
