The Zanskar River is located in Ladakh in Northern India. The Doda and Tsarap Rivers join near Padum and form the Zanskar. The Zanskar flows north east through the Grand Canyon of Asia to where it joins the Indus river near Leh.

Once rafters and kayakers enter the Gorge they are committed to reaching the end. The walls of the gorge are near vertical and up to 600 meters high in places. There is virtually no flat water as the river moves at ferocious pace. The rapids are long and continuous. Camping spots are rare and usually found only where side streams or tributaries enter the Gorge. The Gorge constricts down to 5 meters in places yet the river is four times the size and volume of the Indus when they meet.

The people of the region are of Tibetan and Indo-European origin. The majority, about 95% of the population practice Tibetan Buddhism. The region is characterised by high mountains, glaciers and a typically barren landscape which is very inhospitable and inaccessible. Apart from the river which can be rafted in the summer and walked on when frozen in winter the area is only accessible by one road. The largest town and capital Padum has a population of 700 and apart from that it there are just scattered villages and an occasional Buddhist Monastery (Gompa).
