Leh
The confluence of the milky-green Zanskar River and the ink-blue Indus at Nimmu, 35 km from Leh, is one of the most dramatic river confluence viewpoints in the world — and the stretch of both rivers near Leh offers some of the best white-water rafting in India. The Indus River raft from Phey to Saspol (Grade II–III) takes beginners through breathtaking Ladakhi gorges, while the Zanskar (Grade III–IV) provides a genuine technical challenge for experienced rafters.
Book rafting with AITO-certified operators in Leh Bazaar for safety-compliant equipment and experienced river guides. The Zanskar route is significantly more challenging and requires prior rafting experience.
