By mid-summer the majority of Zanskar's trekking routes are free of winter snow. The Darcha-Padum-Lamayuru trek remains the region's most popular route. Other established but less popular routes include Padum to Takh via Phugtal and Padum to Udaipur via the Kang La. Further trekking opportunities open up towards the end of the summer when river levels fall - check with your Zanskari guide to see what they recommend!
