The ZanskarThis summer I went to India for over two months with the aim of paddling some of the best rivers the Indian Himalaya has to offer. I went with Tim Burne, Tom Haywood, Ralph Evins, Tom Laws, Patrick Clissold and Dave Goadby. The Expedition was to be exploritory with the aim of exploring the little paddled Spiti valley region in Himachal Pradesh as well as paddling some of the classic rivers the area had to offer. India is such a great destination for paddling because it is cheap, the logistics of traveling from river to river are easy and it offers some of the best paddling in the world.
Starting in Delhi, we worked our way up through the states of Uttaranchal, Himachal Pradesh and Ladakh exporing the rivers each region had to offer. There's a few photos here of some of the rivers we paddled, but I am in the process of writing a full trip report with river notes of all the rivers we did, which I will post up here when I have finished.
