Padum to Lamayuru
By Thomas on November 18, 2008 | 10 Comments »
After the first Zanskar video, here’s the second half of our trek. Follow along as we hike from Padum to Lamayuru along the turquoise Zanskar River, over eight (!) incredibly steep passes and by impressive rock formations. The video features several of the passes we had to cross, more homestays in traditional villages, and a glimpse of monastic life in Lingshed and Lamayuru monasteries. Also, witness the shocking end of complete isolation as the road construction pushes forward and has now reached Sirsir La pass just hours away from Photoksar.
Please see our note about the posting delay.

Well. You’ve outdone yourselves this time. I hope you can hear how incredibly happy I am for you both to have experienced this trek. I bow down to your studliness; I’m sure my knees wouldn’t have made it over those passes carrying a full pack.
What a treasure!

Wow, I don’t know why but I got kinda choked up watching the video. There was a brief moment of laughter when I heard Tony describing the water temperature as I could imagine myself there on the banks – shoes on, feet warm!
…And I thought hiking the Inca trail was tough.

Uncle Tony and Thomas..nice video my favorite part was showing the children sliding down the rocks and you struggling to get through the tiny door. I danced to the music while you walked along the mountains. Do the moonwalk next time. Come visit us soon.
