The Ladakh Region of jammu and kashmir provides very good oppourtunity for river rafting. There are exciting possibilities to suit all abilities. From gentle floating, to white water rafting. The white water is on the Indus between Spituk and Saspol. Beyond Saspol, the river becomes difficult and funning it requires technically skilled participants. Upward of Spituk, the Indus has the easiest stretch up to Karu, ideal for basic training and for Day-return "scenic floating" for amateurs.
The most difficult but exciting option for river running is on the Zanskar along its spectacular course through the gorge in the Zanskar mountains, between Padum and Nimo. In recent years, running the Indus has become an attractive alternative to trekking and features on the itinerary of most visitors. All set admist stunning scenery. Imagine after a Day's rafting, sitting by the camp fire on a sandy beach by the bank of the Zanskar or Indus River.
