Sorry for the lack of posting recently, we've just arrived back in Leh after two weeks in Padum where internet was almost non-existant. Our time spent there was split between a home stay in Gyapak and a 6 day descent of the Zanskar river. We also had the amazing experience of seeing the Dalai Lama speak, who was visiting Padum for the first time in 10 years! This also involved some pretty intense partying afterwards, where rather a lot of rum and chang was consumed (some handled this better than others)! We all managed to conquer the amazing Zanskar gorge without any swims (though there were some close calls) and even the constriction, where all the water flows into a 15 foot gap, was done in style. Everyone is pretty tired and getting excited about coming home to England, where we can run rivers with less chance of getting downtime in whirlpools!
See you in a few days,
ESCC
