Tour Online welcomes you to explore
Ladakh, the land of endless discovery.
Rafting through the Indus River which
passes through Canyons in the Ladakh
and Zanskar ranges the landscape is
breath taking. From the river, ancient
gompas and monasteries, many containing
frescoes and statues 700 or 800 years
old can be seen. The icy cold and clear
water of the Indus River offers variations
for all grades of enthusiasts. It combines
a wilderness white water trip on the
run through the barren valley on either
side. The best time to raft this river
is in July - September. |
