Zanskar Gorge

Encyclopedia : Z : ZA : ZAN : Zanskar Gorge

The Zanskar Gorge is found in the Zanskar region of Indian-administered Kashmir. Its walls are near vertical cliffs up to 600m high and the Zanskar River (a tributary of the Indus) is only 5m wide in places. In summer it is a spectacular and remote location for rafting. It provides an access route to the Zanskar Valley, but only in winter when the river is frozen. Several tributaries of the Zanskar River also flow through deep and rarely explored gorges.
