Due to its high altitude of the Zanskar valley, it is only accessible during the summer months. However, it is the time when you can enjoy all kinds of adventure activities and sightseeing of the age-old monasteries. On the other hand, winter months are too harsh for travel in this place. It should also be noted that during the winter months, water of the River Zanskar freezes and acts as the Chador road. Therefore, plan your Zanskar vacation accordingly.
