Strange desert mountains, punctuated by oasis, where the clouds play with the sun, bringing out the small green tasks of villages and their cultures, hung to the large mineral walls.In this hostile environment, the Buddhist culture has established itself and developed for almost 1000 years. The many monasteries, a great cultural richness of the country, testify to the fervor of its inhabitants. This guide describes, not a step, the Ladakh-Zanskar walking routes and offer many variants, offering a wide range of combinations, to make a trek at its extent, and why not climbing a high peak. < / p>
