"Singhe Khababs" the Indus River, flows across the North west to the South east, passing through Ladakh and into Pakistan where it joins Shayok and Suru to become the fabled Indus.
Water levels remain high during the months from June to mid September, which is the best season for fascinating rafting expeditions. Rafting on the Indus provides spectacular view of the landscapes of the Ladakh and Zanskar ranges, with their plethora of Buddhist monasteries perched on the high cliffs. The majority of the white water rapids on the Indus are graded I or II, although at some places there are grade III to V rapids.
The Famous rafting routes are from Phey to Neymo, Upshi to Kharu or from Upshi to Neymo. Other routes run from Phey to Saspol or Phey to the Indus - Zanskar confluence at Neymo. From Neymo it is also possible to raft to the oldest monastery of Ladakh, Alchi, about 75 kms west of Leh. Experienced rafters may also want to try the more challenging route between Alchi and Khaltsey, which takes in the kilometre long series of rapids at Nurla. Easier runs include the run between Hemis (40 km south of Leh) situated along a road crossing the Indus and Choglamsar, which is a three-hour trip that goes through quiet, calm waters, and passes through the riverside villages of Stakna, Shey and Thiksey 25 km south-east of Leh.
