Itinerary description
|
Passage of the Zanskar River using a zip line mounted with a steel cable and a small carrier for two-three people.
After passing the zip line, we continue along the track that leaves the river Zanskar to follow the course of the Markha River. The terrain of the mountains, quite arid, contrasts with the orchard of willows and false tarays of the valley. The towns and constructions are near the river, next to small parcels of cereals and fruit trees. The track ends in the town of Skyu. After this, we reach the first field of trekking.
Next stage: Skyu - Markha
