Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This trekking guidebook gives detailed descriptions of eight different treks across the Ladakh, Zanskar and Markha Valley in northern India. Ranging from moderate difficulty to very demanding, the treks vary between 6 to 12 days in length, each trek is broken down into multiple stages, and has information on difficulty, available accommodation and access, as well as the many combinations and alternative routes open to exploration. Trek 1: Kharnak, 148 km / 10 days. Starts in Kharu in the Indus Valley and ends in Pang, on the Manali-Leh road. Trek 2: Tsarab Chu, 174km / 12 days. Starts in Pang and ends in Padum, Zanskar. Trek 3: Darcha to Padum - the classic trek to Zanskar, 135km / 9 days. Starts in Darcha and ends in Padum. Trek 4: Round Sultanlango, 112km / 6 days. Starts in Padum and ends in Stongde, Zanskar. Trek 5: Padum to Lamayuru - the classic trek from Zanskar, 148km / 8 days. Starts in Padum and ends in Lamayuru on the Kargil-Leh road. Trek 6: Padum to Lamayuru via the Kanji La, 169km / 10 days Trek 7: Alchi - a circuit over five passes, 98km / 8 days. Starts in Alchi in the Indus Valley and ends in Phanjila, Wanla, Lamayuru, Nurla or Mangyu Trek 8: Markha Valley, 113km / 9 days. Starts in Spituk, southwest of Leh and ends in Hemis near the Indus Valley Known as Little Tibet; for both its landscape and culture, Ladakh lies at the northern tip of India. The region is bisected by the great River Indus and neighbours Tibet and Kashmir. This quiet corner of the Himalaya has developed a strong trekking culture over recent years for adventurous trekkers. Trekking in this remote, high-altitude region is extremely challenging, as paths are not signed and there are only a limited number of villages. However, its magnificent landscape (a huge area full of limitless trekking possibilities), hospitable people, rich heritage and limited number of tourists make Ladakh an amazing destination. The guide includes background information on local culture, history and religion, as well as all the planning detail you need on crucial aspects such as environmental responsibility, health and safety in the mountains, trekking practicalities and preparation for altitude.

Book excerpt: After decades of instability, Kashmir – the undisputed jewel of the hippie trail – is back online and ready to welcome visitors with open arms. Whether you want to follow in the footsteps of Great Game heroes in Gilgit and Hunza, take a pilgrimage to the thriving Buddhist centre of Leh, scale K2, Nanga Parbat and Rakaposhi, or simply laze with a book on a house boat in Srinagar, few places on earth have such a concentration of remarkable sites and experiences. The region's improving security and infrastructure are covered by the guide in detail, along with practical advice on travel, accommodation and food, safety and bureaucracy. Description of Kashmir's history, culture and politics is vivid and informative, and the accompanying images leave the reader, like the Mughal Emperors before them, sure that Kashmir is indeed 'Paradise on Earth'.

Download or read book A Long Walk in the Himalaya written by Garry Weare and published by Transit Lounge. This book was released on 2007 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garry Weare is enigmatic, funny and he has an enormous conscience. He brings into the story of his Himalayan traverse a succession of vignettes about people's lives that he meets along the way, relevant history, natural history observations and a delightful sprinkling of his inimitable sense of humour. The warmth of his relationships with his old Kashmiri friends and various people from the trekking fraternity adds a wonderful dimension to this journeyman's tale'. Peter Hillary Weare's finely rendered story of his five-month trek from the sacred source of the Ganges through the Kullu Valley, Zanskar and Ladakh to his houseboat in Kashmir is remarkably entertaining. The people he meets and travels with are fully-fledged characters that the reader comes to know and care about while the Himalaya, captured in all their variety, cast their spell. It is as if the act of walking allows the author to fully understand all the nuances - spiritual, environmental, social and political - of this inspiring region. 'A Long Walk in the Himalaya' is a book to savour, a book that the reader will return to again and again. English-born Garry Weare has had a long-standing relationship with the Himalaya. In 1970 he first went to Kashmir to teach. It changed his life and he went on to live on a houseboat in Kashmir, to pioneer many classic treks and to research the 'Trekking in the Indian Himalaya' guidebook published by Lonely Planet, now in its 4th edition. Weare is a life member of the Himalayan Club, a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a noted mountain photographer and a founding director of the Australian Himalayan Foundation. He has one daughter, two stepdaughters and lives with his wife Margie Thomas in the Southern Highlands, NSW.

Download or read book Ladakh-Zanskar written by Philippe Chabloz and published by Editions Olizane. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A l'extrême nord de l'Inde, enserré entre le Pakistan et le Tibet, le Ladakh et le Zanskar représentent l'un des derniers refuges de la culture tibétaine en terre libre. La fermeture des frontières, vers la fin des années quarante, mit un terme au passage des grandes caravanes qui sillonnaient la Haute-Asie depuis des siècles. Au milieu des années soixante-dix, l'ouverture de la région au tourisme accéléra le processus d'intégration du Ladakh dans le monde moderne. Depuis l'accession du Ladakh à une certaine autonomie au sein de l'Etat indien du Jammu-Cachemire, sa population, tant bouddhiste que musulmane, peut enfin prendre son destin en main. Protégé par son relatif isolement, le Ladakh-Zanskar reste un paradis tant pour les passionnés de culture que pour les amoureux de grands espaces. Ce guide constitue une excellente introduction à la culture, à l'histoire, la géologie, la faune et à la religion de cette région. La description précise de nombreux sites et monastères ainsi que les 22 itinéraires de trekking et une voie d'escalade en font un ouvrage de référence sur cette région de l'Himalaya.
