Best Village Safari Things To Do In India In September

It is one of the popular treks, which leads to the Zanskar Valley. The trek takes one through the many Zanskar villages and various monasteries there in. A slow ascent up to the pass and then a steep descent to the Tsarap River brings one right into the heart of the Zanskar. The trail follows the river most of the way.

We will drive from New Delhi to the lush and exotic Kullu Valley crossing the Rohtang Pass to reach the start of the trek at Darcha. Towards the western end of the Himalayas a series of continuous mountain ridges, comprising scores of 6000m (20000 foot) peaks forms an effective barrier between the Indian provinces of Lahaul and Ladakh. Linking these contrasting mountainous regions is a Ladakh trekking route that provides one of the great challenges of the Indian Himalayan Treks.

We head north across the Shingo La into the ancient kingdom of Zanskar which is famous for its hardy inhabitants and starkly beautiful landscape. On the way one can encounter a row of isolated villages and numerous wonderful Buddhist monasteries, notably at Phuktal, Lingshet and Lamayuru. As a finale to what is unquestionably one of the world's most classic Indian trekking experiences, one can also plan to explore the fascinating and legendary Ladakhi capital of Leh.

This is a trek of 3 days and the most favorable time to embark on this trek is from the month of May to October. Stok La Pass is the highest peak in this trek, whereas people, nature, wildlife, landscapes, and villages are some of the highlights of this voyage.

Our trip will start from Leh. After crossing the phey bride and the Indus River, we will go on a long walk starting from the Zingchen Gorge. Then we will spend some leisure time and warm our mood with tea and snacks. If we get lucky then we will also get to see snow leopard. Once we are done with trekking, we will visit Rumbak village and spend our night there in homestay.

Our next day will begin with exploring the wildlife of the region, where we will get to see blue sheep, Tibetan sheep, migratory birds, argali, and even might snow leopard or Tibetan wolf. After taking help from the local guide, we will trek for 3 hours and reach Stok. Then we will continue our trek to hillside, followed by Indus valley. In the final stages, we will go downwards and visit Stok palace museum. We will stay there for a day and then finally drive back to Leh.
