ZANSKAR Sai LEH Tak

The journey from Zanskar to Leh, the capital of Ladakh, is a significant trip due to the challenging terrain and high altitudes. Here are some key points about the journey:
1. Distance: The distance from Zanskar’s main town, Padum, to Leh is approximately 450-500 kilometers (280-310 miles), depending on the specific route taken.
2. Routes:
• Padum to Leh via Kargil: This is the more commonly used route. Travelers first head from Padum to Kargil, which takes about 10-12 hours, and then from Kargil to Leh, which takes another 6-7 hours. The route involves crossing several high-altitude passes and can be challenging, particularly in bad weather..
• Padum to Leh via Lingshed and the Singge La pass: This is a more adventurous and less commonly used route that involves trekking or using off-road vehicles. It can take several days and is recommended for those with a sense of adventure and experience with high-altitude travel.
3. Scenery: The journey offers stunning views of the Himalayas, rugged terrain, deep gorges, and picturesque villages. It’s a visually rewarding trip but requires careful planning and preparation.
4. Accommodation: Along the way, there are guesthouses and homestays in villages, particularly in Kargil. In some areas, particularly along the less traveled routes, camping may be necessary.
5. Best Time to Travel: The best time to make this journey is during the summer months, from June to September, when the roads are generally open and the weather is more favorable. During the winter, heavy snowfall can close the passes, making the journey impossible.
Travelers should ensure they are well-prepared for high-altitude travel, including acclimatizing properly to avoid altitude sickness, and should carry sufficient supplies, as facilities can be sparse along the route.
