If you’re one of those people who need at least one yearly dose of adrenaline to get by, Aquaterra has the perfect holiday planned for you in the picturesque valley of the Zanskar river. The trip begins with a flight over the Himalayas to Ladakh in Jammu and Kashmir. You will spend a few days acclimatising in Leh town which is at a height of 11,000 feet. Here you can visit ancient monasteries, palaces and villages. Once acclimatised, you will be driven west of Leh past the town of Kargil and travel south into the valley of Zanskar, one of the coldest inhabited places on earth. Your real river adventure will begin on the Stod river and will take you down the spectacular Zanskar river gorge over a period of a few days. The walls of the gorge rise thousands of feet above the river bed and end at the mighty Indus river. Check out aquaterra.in for more.
