Adventure

Honia-Nyerak. Pack up and get moving for about 25 km on the river. Enter the canyon to reach Nyerak. This is a grade 3 section and warms you up for the rafting that is to follow in the days to come. At Honimul, the last village, we enter a breath-taking canyon. The banks of the river now give way to mountain walls that rise thousands of feet above you. We run some terrific rapids today, stop for lunch, then raft some more before calling it a day and setting up camp below the Nyerak village. This campsite is one of the few sites in the canyon where one can camp and is perfect for a layover day to explore the area.

Nyerak. This is a day ear-marked for rest. You could choose to hike to the Nyerak village, mingle with the villagers and perhaps visit their homes, or relax and enjoy a break under the Weeping Willows, maybe splashing about in the camp stream. Rest and get ready for another exciting day on the river. Camp overnight.

Nyerak-Lamaguru. A 35 km river journey takes us through the core of the Zanskar canyon and brings us to Lamaguru at the confluence with Markha River. On this stretch of river we will encounter grade 4 rapids . Break for lunch at a beautiful site by a waterfall from the canyon wall. Paddle further through the stunning Red Canyon and camp for the night. Get ready to be amazed by some of the most extraordinary sights and colors today, all courtesy of Mother Nature. Camp overnight.

Lamaguru-Nimu. Raft grade 4 rapids till the take out at Nimu. Past Chilling village we will encounter excellent whitewater as Zanskar prepares to meet the Indus at Nimu. This is the end of your river journey. Drive back to Leh. Trip ends.
