River Rafting in Ladakh
A range of rafting options is available on the Indus and its major tributaries. The best stretch for professionally guided runs in white water is on the Indus between Spituk and Saspol.
In
recent years, running the Indus has become an attractive alternative to trekking
and features on the itinerary of most visitors. Several agencies in Leh offer
attractive rafting packages. Ask for details at the Tourist Office at Leh.They will also be able to provide some rafts on hire. The most difficult but exciting option for river running is on the Zanskar along its spectacular course through the gorge in the Zanskar mountins, between Padum and Nimo. This is suitable only for well organized white-water expedition, prepared for several days of river running and camping in absolute wilderness.
Participants are required to be trained rafters themselves while the arrangements should be assigned to a dependable professional agency. Adequate arrangements for rescue coverage is an essential pre-requisite for embarking upon a white -water expedition on river like the Zanskar.
