Journey into one of the last truly untouched Himalayan frontiers. Cross legendary mountain passes, drive through remote valleys, visit centuries-old monasteries carved into cliffs, witness glaciers, and experience the raw wilderness of Zanskar before finishing in the historic town of Leh.
Into the last
frontier.
Six days across one of the Himalayas' most isolated regions — from the cedar valleys of Manali, over the wild Shinku La, into the hidden kingdom of Zanskar, and finally out to the historic streets of Leh.
Small groups. Hand-picked stays. Remote monasteries, glacier viewpoints and mountain roads that most travellers will never see. This is Zanskar as it should be experienced.
