<div>Our "special" feature drives through most of western Ladakh, monasteries, palaces, villages, hikes, and travel to one of the most surreal places on the planet. Starting the trip on the Stod river, we begin our self-contained multi-day river adventure down the spectacular and scenic Zanskar river gorge. The trip takes you down the extremely desolate, remote, and sheer Zanskar gorge with walls rising a few thousand feet out of the river bed, culminating on the mighty Indus river, (which incidentally lends India its name). We finish with spending a couple of days in Leh town acclimatizing at 11,000 feet above sea level and visiting the ancient monasteries, palaces, and villages around Leh. Undoubtedly a classic, this journey to the last truly lost horizon of our shrinking planet – Zanskar, the "land of white copper” is a trip of a lifetime.<a href="http://aquaterra.in"><br></a><br></div><div><br></div>
