Padum (Rs10,000, 14 hours): start before dawn or consider overnighting at Rangdum. Doublecheck that your driver has Zanskar-endorsed permits from the drivers’ cooperative. For your way to Leh Ladakh the J&K State Road Transport Corporation (J&KSRTC) operates regular Deluxe and Ordinary bus services between Srinagar and Leh on this route with an overnight halt at Kargil.

Train : The nearest railway station to zanskar is the Jammu Tawi railway station, which is located at a distance of 680 km from Ladakh.

Air : Ladakh Airport is the nearest air base to the destination which is connected to important cities of the state.

Things to CarryEdit

• Carry woolan cloths, camera, sleeping bag is necessary, at least a plastic sheet shelter or a tent is recommended for emergencies, and dry food for snacks and lunches. Etc.

Safety / WarningEdit

• If your are trekking into the areas around Tso Moriri, or the Nubra Valley you will need an interline permit available for a 100 to 200 INR from any travel agent in Leh, although you are unlikely to have it checked unless you are driving out or in to the area. To climb Stok Kangri you need a permit from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation (IMF) which you can get for 2000 INR, the office is near the beginning of Chanspa Road in Leh. Technically you need approval for other peaks as well but Stok Kangri is the only one you are likely to get checked. Other than that Ladakh remains blissfully free of the infamous Indian red tape.

HistoryEdit

Turtuk is a picturesque border village in Ladakh, very close to the Line of Control between India and Pakistan. During the 1971 war with Pakistan, the Indian Army recaptured the village from Pakistan-occupied Kashmir. Today, it is the last inhabited frontier before the border, inhabited by Balti Muslims who cultivate wheat, buckwheat, apricots and tomatoes in the fertile soil churned by the tributaries of the turbulent Shayok River, itself a headspring of the mighty Indus. Turtuk, a gruelling nine-hour drive from the district capital Leh, was opened to tourism in 2010. The region is a part of Ladakh’s Nubra Valley, accessible to Indian citizens and foreign nationals with an Inner Line Permit.
