Srinagar Kargil Zanskar Tour
Overview
The Srinagar–Kargil–Zanskar Tour is a thrilling trans-Himalayan journey that connects the lush green valleys of Kashmir with the stark, dramatic landscapes of Zanskar in Ladakh. This overland adventure takes you through some of the most breathtaking mountain scenery in India — from serene lakes and alpine meadows to rugged high passes and ancient Buddhist monasteries.
Starting from Srinagar, the summer capital of Jammu & Kashmir, the route follows the famous Srinagar–Leh Highway, crossing the Zoji La Pass (3,528 m) into the cold desert region of Ladakh. Explore the historical town of Kargil, visit ancient rock carvings, and experience the unique blend of Kashmiri and Ladakhi cultures. As you journey deeper, the road winds through spectacular gorges, remote villages, and the turquoise waters of the Suru River before reaching Padum, the heart of Zanskar Valley.
Zanskar remains one of the most isolated valleys in the Indian Himalayas — a land of timeless monasteries like Karsha, Stongdey, and Zongkhul, surrounded by towering snow peaks and glaciers. The warm hospitality of the local people, combined with the awe-inspiring beauty of the terrain, makes this journey an unforgettable Himalayan experience.
Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or cultural explorer, the Srinagar–Kargil–Zanskar Tour offers a perfect blend of adventure, spirituality, and scenic wonder — a journey across two worlds within one breathtaking region.
