Ladakh tourism is the backbone of ladakh’s economy. This industry
has provided employment to a huge number of local people. Ladakh tourism offers great scope for adventure activities amidst
landscapes of breathtaking, rugged beauty. The most popular among these are
trekking, mountaineering and river-rafting.
Nestled in the snowy peaks of the
alarming Zanskar Range, Zanskar is a sub-division of Kargil in the interior part
of the Leh Ladakh region. Its
administrative center is at Padum. Zanskar is the most isolated part of the Leh Ladakh region.

Ladakh temperature can fall to a bone-severing -30 degree Celsius
during winter season. Temperature in Ladakh rises up to 30 degree Celsius in the
summer months. The best time for tourists to visit Leh ladakh is between April to September.
River rafting is available on the
Indus and its major tributaries. The best stretch for professionally guided
rafting in white water is on the Indus River between Spituk and Saspol. River
rafting in this stretch can be performed by up to grade 2 rafters. After Saspol,
the river becomes very difficult and funny, so it requires technically more skilled
4+ grade participants under careful and best trainer’s organization. The
easiest stretch in Lndus River is between Spituk to Karu that can be performed by
below 2+ grade rafters in a day. This stretch is an ideal for basic training
and full of scenic floating for amateurs. In recent years, running the Indus
has become an attractive alternative to trekking and features on the itinerary
of most visitors.
The most difficult but exciting
option for river rafting is on the Zanskar River between Padum and Nimo through
the gorge in the Zanskar Mountains. This is suitable only for well organized
white-water expedition, prepared for several days of river running and camping
in absolute wilderness. Participants are required to be trained rafters of
grade 4+. The arrangements should be assigned to a dependable professional
agency like Destination@doorstep. Sufficient rescue arrangement is an essential
pre-requirement for embarking for a white -water expedition on river like the
Zanskar.
