Way to the Silk Route

Duration : 3-4 Days
Area : Nubra Valley (Leh to Leh)

---

Nubra Valley lies in the north of Leh and is accessible over the Khardungla (18350 ft.), one of the highest motorable roads in the world. The valley was on the trade route from Leh to Kashgar via Saser and Karakoram Passes. The valley houses several Buddhist monasteries such as Sumur (Kashgar) and 350 years old Deskit Gompa, famous for its murals. From Deskit, 7 km, one comes across the Hunder Gompa, a smaller one, belonging to yellow sect. Driving down towards Shayok river, one can visit the village of Tirith & Panamic. The scenery is spectacular, with the snowcapped Karakoram mountains forming the background.

Duration : 3-4 Days
Region : Pangong Lake (Leh to Leh)

---

Pangong Tso (Lake), 150 km long and 4 km wide, is land-locked lake at a height of 14000 ft. with intensely clear water of an incredible range of hues of blue. Having no outlet, the water in the lake is highly brackish and lake's basin houses a large wealth of minerals deposited by the melting snows every year. The Pangong Lake, extending from east to west through the whole length of the Ruthog region of Tibet to neighborhood of Chushul, it bends to the north west about 25 miles. Only a quarter of the lake lies in India. The rest stretches into Ruthog in China. Rare black necked cranes and other migratory birds are seen here.

Tso-Moriri & Tsokar Lake Safari

Duration : 3-4 Days
Region : Tso-moriri & Tsokar Lake (Leh to Leh)

---

The area traversed by the Manali-Leh road, and containing the drainage basins of Tso-moriri and other lakes is known asRupshu. Here, the Zanskar range is transformed into bare rolling many-hued hills divided by open high-altitude valleys scoured by dust devils. It is a landscape quite unlike any other in Ladakh-or elsewhere in India.

The first circuit follows the Manali road over the Taglang-la as far as Debring, a Chang-pa camping place. From here it strikes off east on a rough track across the basin of the twin lakes Startsapuk-Tso (Fresh water) and the Tso-Kar (salt water), over the Polokangka-la (about 16,700 feet/5,030 Mt.) to Sumdo in the Puga valley-near the site of old sulphur mines, then over a roller-coaster track to the head of the Tso-moriri, and on to Korzok, a quarter of the way along the lake's 20-km length.

The alternative route, instead of leaving the Indus at Upshi, carries on up the river, as it snakes is way through a gorge between the Ladakh and Zanska5r ranges, to the village of Chumathang, where there is a hot spring. At Mahe, some 17 km further, the road crosses from the north to the south bank of the river by a bridge; it then follows the Puga stream up to join the first circuit at Sumdo.

Korzok, situated at 15,000 feet/4,572 Mts.) With its dozen or so houses and its Gompa appearing like a mirage among the barren hills, is the only permanent settlement inRupshu; otherwise the region is inhabited only by nomadic Chang-pa love in tents all the year round, moving in accordance with an old-established annual routine between the pastures that exist wherever an occasional stream carrying snowmelt from the heights makes possible the growth of grass, scanty indeed, but reportedly highly nutritious. The few barely-fields at Korzok must be among the highest cultivation in the world, but there is no guarantee that the crop will ripen every year.

Dha Bema The Aryan Village

Duration : 3-4 Days
Region : Dha-Bhema (Leh to Leh)

---

The twin villages Dha & Bhema are know for its inhabitants "Drokpas" (The pasture people). A minuscule community of perhaps no more than a couple of thousand, their features are pure Indo-Aryan, and they appear to have preserved their racial purity down the centuries. Their culture and religious practice are more akin to the ancient pre-Buddhist animist religion known as Bon-chos than to Buddhism as practiced in the rest of Ladakh. One curious feature is their abhorrence of the cow, or any of its products. They have preserved their ancient traditions and way of life partly through the celebration of the triennial Bono-na festival, a celebration of the harvest, and partly through their songs and hymns. One of these is a description of an ibex-hunt, for the ibex is especially sacred to them. Another recalls their migration from Gilgit-an event, which must have occurred well before Gilgit came under the influence of Islam. Their language is said to be akin to that spoken in Gilgit, and by immigrants from Gilgit settled in Dras. Such a small and racially and culturally homogeneous community is bound to have much to offer scholars in the fields of ethnology and social anthropology.
