River
Rafting
A range of rafting options is
available on the Indus and its major tributaries. The best stretch for
professionally guided runs in white water is on the Indus between
Spituk and Saspol. Beyond Saspol, the river becomes difficult and
funning it requires technically skilled participants and careful
organisation. Upward of Spituk, the Indus has the easiest stretch up
to Karu, ideal for basic training and for day-return "scenic floating"
for amateurs.

Mountaineering In Ladakh
The area most frequented by
foreign climbers is the Nun-Kun Massif in the Great Himalayan Range.
Its easy accessibility from the Kargil-Pudum road and the shortest
possible approach march to the base camps makes this massif the most
attractive climbing destination in the Great Himalayas, necessitating
advance booking years ahead.

 Trout Fishing
Fishing is
big business in Kashmir through spring and summer. The British
introduced the brown and rainbow trout to the streams of Kashmir,
where they have thrived. At the same time they introduced the system
of anglers reserving ' beats' on their favorite river. Reservations
for beats should be made before one arrives in Kashmir, through an
Indian Government Tourist Office or directly to the Tourist Reception
Centre in Srinagar

Water Skiing
Water sports are the 'fun' aspect
of Kashmir. The Dal and Nagin lakes in Srinagar and the Manasbal Lake,
32-km from Srinagar are the best places for water-skiing.
The largest expanse of the Dal, the Boddal, has privately owned
'bathing boats' which hire out motor launches, water-skies and trained
instructors. There are more bathing boats at the Nagin Lake and also a
government run Institute of Water Sports. The Nagin lake too has
trained instructors and is more popular because of its clean water..

Trekking
Trekking possibilities include
short, daylong walks up and down mountain slopes to visit isolated
villages or monastic settlements, or across a ridge to enjoy the sheer
beauty of the lunar mountainscape. Or long, trans-mountain treks
involving weeks of walking and camping in the wilderness. For example,
the trek from Lamayuru in the Indus valley to Darcha in Lahaul across
Zanskar takes nearly three weeks. Most of the established routes
traverse the Zanskar range, which separates the Indus valley from
