Himalaya » Himalaya Expedition

If you’re prepared for an expedition, the 130km-long Zanskar Gorge, often called the "Grand Canyon of India", offers some of the highest-altitude rafting in the world. These trips usually take five to seven days, including a day to drive from Leh.

In the eastern Himalaya, the Sutlej River in Himachal Pradesh, the Tons in Uttar Pradesh — a tributary of the sacred Yamuna River — the Mahakali (in the Kumaon Himal) and the Teesta (in Sikkim) all offer good white water and scenery for self-supported trips of four to seven days.
