Zanskar is a tri-armed valley system situated between the Great Himalayan Range and the Zanskar mountains, the three arms radiating star-like towards the west, north and south from a wide central expanse. Here the Zanskar River comes into being by the confluence of its two Himalayan tributaries, the Stod / Doda and the Lingti-Tsarap Rivers. It is mainly along the course of this valley system that the region’s approximately 14,000 strong mainly live Buddhist populations.

Ladakh Motorbike Tour Zanskar Description: Zanskar valley lies to the south west of Leh, surrounded by the Greater Himalayan and Zanskar ranges. It is the most isolated of all the Trans Himalayan valleys. Zanskar comprises two main valleys of Stod (Doda Chu) and Lungnak (Tsarab Chu) which converge below at Padum. The valley has an area of about 5,000 Sqr. Km. and is situated at an elevation of 3600 meters. The area remains inaccessible for nearly 7 months in the year. As winter approaches all the high passes get close and the river freeze on the surface. Zanskaris walk along the Frozen River to reach the Indus River in Nimu village, which is known as the Chadar trek or frozen rivers trek.
The route from Kargil to Padum via Penzi-La pass is the only motor able road to reach Zanskar valley, which remains open from June to September. The Kargil to Padum Road was completed in the late 70’s. Even today this road is not concrete and has been neglected by Govt. Localities of the region are trying to get the construction of Chadar road started running from Nimu to Padum, which would be the shortest route if constructed.
