In the heart of the mighty Himalayas lies a region untouched by time, where ancient monasteries perch on rugged cliffs and age-old traditions breathe life into the barren landscapes. Welcome to Zanskar, the hidden jewel of Ladakh, and the star of our fifth episode: "Padum - Zanskar's Best-Kept Secrets."

Sani Monastery: The Ancient Soul of Zanskar
Our journey begins at the enchanting Sani Monastery, often referred to as the cradle of Tibetan Buddhism in Zanskar. As we approach, prayer flags flutter in the crisp mountain air, and the rhythmic chants of monks echo from within the ancient walls. Sani Monastery is not just a place of worship; it's a living testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region. Believed to be over a three thousand years old, it's an unique blend of Indian and Tibetan architectural styles that adorn the monastery's structures.

Karsha Monastery: A Majestic Citadel in the Sky
Our next stop takes us to the grandeur of Karsha Monastery, the largest and most magnificent monastery in Zanskar. Perched dramatically on a hillside overlooking the gurgling Doda River, Karsha Monastery is a sight to behold. As we wander through its labyrinthine corridors and ornate prayer halls, we are captivated by the intricate frescoes, ancient scriptures, and the palpable aura of spirituality that envelops the monastery. The panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and snow-capped peaks from Karsha Monastery are nothing short of breathtaking, offering a glimpse into the untouched beauty of Zanskar.

Old Zangla Village: A Glimpse into the Past
Our final destination transports us back in time to the quaint village of Old Zangla. Nestled amidst rugged mountains and barren landscapes, Old Zangla Village is a living museum of Zanskar's storied past. We meander through its narrow lanes, flanked by traditional mud-brick houses and ancient chortens, we are greeted warmly by the locals. The highlight of our visit was The historic Zangla Palace, a silent sentinel overlooking the village, whose crumbling walls and weathered battlements whisper tales of bygone eras.
