Tourism Tips
Health & Safety:
Steep Path Caution: The path is steep and covered in loose gravel and stones. Wear sturdy, non-slip footwear. Take the climb slowly due to the altitude.
Health & Safety:
Wind Exposure: The summit is very exposed to wind. Carry a windproof jacket, even on a sunny day.
Packing:
Water: Carry a full water bottle, as there are no shops or water sources on the hill.
Accommodation:
Stay in Padum: The ruins are a hiking destination; accommodation is in Padum town below.
Other:
Respect the Ruins: Do not climb on, sit on, or remove any of the crumbling palace walls. Treat the site as an archaeological monument.
Other:
Respect the Stupas: Walk clockwise around all the Kani Chortens and the ruins. Never touch or sit on the Mani Stones.
Other:
Guide's Value: Hiring a local guide for this short trip is highly recommended, as they can bring the history of the Zanskar Kingdom and the palace destruction to life.
Other:
Timing for Photos: Time your visit for the early morning or late afternoon for the best light and the most rewarding panoramic photo opportunities.
Other:
Sun Protection: Use strong sunscreen and a hat, as you are fully exposed to the high-altitude sun during the entire ascent.
