Across Zanskar Trek - Wanla to Padum
The Across Zanskar trek used to begin at Lamayuru and end at Padum. The 2nd half of the trek was from Padum to Darcha. The entire trek used to take around 3 weeks. However due to road construction at both ends the trek has been shortened. It now begins at Phanjila and ends at Pidmo instead of Padum reducing three days from the first half of the trek. Due to time constraints I was not able to do the 2nd half from Padum to Darcha. However, the road is relentlessly penetrating Zanskar and quite soon I am sure it will cover the full route and vehicles and motor bikes will be careering down the road all the way to Manali from Lamayuru. When this happens a way of life for the Zanskaris will be lost forever.
