Highlights

What makes this tour special

Shinku La (5,050m): The massive, snow-bound mountain pass that opens the gateway from Lahaul into Zanskar.
Gonbo Rangjon: The towering, solitary holy mountain that stands like a sentinel at the start of the Zanskar valley floor.
Phugtal Monastery: A spectacular, 2,500-year-old Buddhist monastery built directly into a sheer cliffside cave, reachable only by foot.
Drang Drung Glacier: A colossal river of ice visible right from the road as you cross the Pensi La pass.
Cultural Shift: A rare journey where you witness landscapes and cultures shift seamlessly from the Hindu culture of Manali, to the Tibetan Buddhist culture of Zanskar, to the Islamic heritage of Kargil and Kashmir.

Itinerary

Day 1

Manali - kashmir via Zanskar

Gonborangjon

Manali- Gonborangjon via Shinkula pass

150kms/5-7hrs

Overnight camp; Gonborangjon

**Gonbo Rangjon (also known as Gumbok Rangan or God's Mountain) is a majestic 5,520-meter standalone rock monolith in the Lungnak Valley of Zanskar, revered by local Tibetan Buddhists as the sacred, self-manifested throne of the deity Mahakala.

***Forbidden Summit: Because the mountain is viewed as a living sanctuary and sacred entity, climbing or attempting to reach the peak of Gonbo Rangjon is strictly prohibited

Day 2

Manali - kashmir via Zanskar

Purne

Gonborangjon-Purne

45kms/ 1.5-2hrs

Phuktal monastery
Overnight; Purne

**The Traditional Hike: Starting straight from the village of Purne, the path is about 6 to 7 km. Walking alongside the beautiful, turquoise Tsarap River takes most travelers 2 to 3 hours to reach the cliffside monastery

**The Shorter "Roadhead" Option: If you are traveling by vehicle, a rough dirt road now extends past Purne. If the road conditions allow your vehicle to reach the end of this stretch, you can park closer to the Phuktal bridge. From that point, the remaining walk is a shorter 4 kilometres and takes only 1.5 to 2 hours
