• Employ Guides with intimate knowledge of the areas you want to visit. This is especially important for trekking off-the-beaten-track and winter trekking on the Zanskar River.
• Many of the Zanskaris you employ will have family and friends in the villages that you visit - you will have the privilege of experiencing Zanskari hospitality first hand.
• The direct employment of Zanskaris will benefit the local economy.
• By employing Zanskaris you have a greater chance of experiencing and understanding Zanskar’s traditions, cultural heritage and contemporary issues. Your visit to Zanskar becomes more than just a walk through a ‘living museum’.
