Return trip

We moved to BC on August 25th and started the return trip to Leh via Shingo-La and Tso Kar. When we crossed Shingo-La （5045m） on August 31st, we were very surprised to see a big shovel car working to build a new road near Shingo-La. Our trekking route between Padum and Darcha may be replaced within the next three years by this new traffic road. What impressed us was the fact that local people strongly want the new traffic road, even if it meant their life style might change drastically. We reached Ramjak on August 31st. We took cars from Zanskar Sumdo on September 2nd and stayed one night in Tso Kar. All of us safely came back to Leh on September 4th. After a five-day stay in Leh, we took a flight to Delhi on September 10th. We had a debriefing at IMF office on September 11th and came back to Japan on September 13rd.

We really enjoyed the splendid expedition in Zanskar. We were very lucky, because of the good support from our reliable guide, Mr. Tsewang Yangphel, and our LO, Mr. Chandra Shaker. Above all, we would like to express our sincere thankfulness to Mr. Sakamoto’s kind assistance.

There still are many attractive virgin peaks in this area. We hope many expedition teams will try to climb the beautiful mountains in Zanskar with proper procedures, by ob taining an official climbing permission from IMF.
