Kingdom of Zanskar
Description:
Tour of Zanskar 11.07 - 22.07
The way to the “tree-ninth” kingdom of Zanskar passes through the “thornies”: glaciers and rocks hanging over the road, herds of wild yaks, colorful striped mountains, a narrow rocky road by the river ... It's hard to get here. Therefore, Zanskar is fenced off from modern civilization, which makes it mysterious and alluring. It is here that the family structure is preserved - polyandry, in which the brothers marry the same woman. This is due to the lack of arable land and low fertility.
And Buddhist monasteries that have preserved the ancient teachings of the Buddha, count a thousand years!!!
It is necessary to come here for those who want to see the origins of our civilization, feel this pristine atmosphere and get hitherto unknown sensations.
