Zanskar (2004)

The Zanskar mountains in the Himalayan region of Ladakh is home to a classic, high altitude whitewater adventure. The Tsarap-Zanskar river cuts

Join the team of Irish and American kayakers as they battle from the monsoon chaos of Delhi, into the lush Himalayan foothills and
finally onto the spectacular Tibetan Plateau. Here they attempt a fully self-supported descent of the river in whitewater kayaks, all the way to the Indus, far in the North.

All proceeds of this film go to the Kullu School for the Blind and the Irish Cancer Society.

Price: €25
