Zanskar

Rangdum then the Panzila pass, Drang Drung Glacier...
«  Only 15km to go, a 3 hours drive. »
Padum at last, the Zanskar river and the monasteries
Quick ! Before the cold times come :
Store the dried dungs on roof tops for the stove,
Dry in the sun the last pieces of yak cheese,
Beat the wheat and take in the hay.
The exams before going back to the village for winter.
The road stops here.
A two days walk to get to the perched monastery of Phugtal.
A festive retirement celebration in costumes at Char village.
The first snow falls. Time to go.
A river, a land, People.
The Zanskarpas will get isolated for the next 6 months.
