ZANSKAR VALLEY

Most of the adventure enthusiasts may be familiar with this place. This one is famous for seasonal river rafting but more important for the trek over Zanskar River in November when the river is frozen. The trek is done in large groups and communities of adventure enthusiasts. Zanskar mountain range, without a doubt, one of the most desolate places in the Himalayan ranges.

SHANTI STUPA

This place is one of the most culturally important places in Ladakh. This was enshrined by the 14th Dalai Lama himself. You can sit beside the Stupa and do a little meditation for inner peace. But for Photographers, Shanti Stupa also offers panoramic views of the landscape around it. Also, the night time view can surprise you with the fair play of light, shadow and starry night.
