Zanskar Dream Trek - NEW, Ladakh
Travel this holiday in photosThe Zanskar Dream trek was, by far, the most memorable and most enjoyable trek that I have ever done. Whilst the treking was tough and challenging, the scenery was sensational, the Zanskar trek trek crew were exceptionally good and the food excellent. It is refreshing that you have discovered a new, remote, trekking route which, in my opinion, must rate as one of the world's best 'new classic', trekking routes.

Explore wild and remote Zanskar, trekking a route created by our MD Steve Berry.
The pass-bound kingdom of Zanskar is indeed a mystical place: a land of yogins, Buddhist gompas, and kings who are directly descended from the early kings of Tibet. Just north of the Greater Himalaya, it sits close to the highest mountain in Ladakh, Mount Nun, 7,135m/23,410ft, which we will trek past.
Our Zanskar trek takes us completely off the beaten track, trekking through very remote country. Starting near Mount Nun, we gradually make our way through the mountains to Zanskar, before trekking up through a series of gorges leading to the highest peak in the Zanskar range, Kang Yatse, 6,400m/21,500ft. These gorges can only be navigated in September when water levels are low, as there are many river crossings, beyond which the Zanskar trek reveals mysterious hidden landscapes. This is a full-on, challenging trek and will rank alongside any of your life’s best achievements!
