The last ride we made to Zanskar with our guests through mighty Shinku la was in December 2022. A short 3 day excursion we made in the Lungnak valley with a crispy short hike to Phuktar monastery, the ancient marvel of Zanskar. We have been waiting patiently to resume our tours and treks in Zanskar for this summer. We expect the Shinku la/Shingo la to open by April 2nd week for vehicular movement. Do join us for an immersive experiential Jeep Safari to this remote land.

Zanskar - a not-so-known treasure of Ladakh and what is the most beautiful treasure of Zanskar is Phugtal Gompa or Phuktar Monastery. Earlier this gompa was just a cave inside a mountain. Today it is a beautiful Gompa where you can reach by doing a 2-3 hrs trek from Purne village. If you ask me what's so special about this monastery, I would say "everything". Right from the location, to its structure, Peaceful spritual mountain, to the pious area surrounding it, monks living in the monastery and everything. However, if I have to choose my fav among all then it had to be the Trek from Purne to Phugtal. You get to see Tserap River flowing in all its glory in the Lungnak Valley. The river water is frozen during the winter, turquoise blue during summer, and remains somewhere between white and Grey during monsoon and I did this trek during the monsoon. A unique thing about this Gompa is it's the only Gompa in Zankar that can only be reached by foot, no vehicle goes here...! !
