Today is Day 1 of our trek, which is from Zinchen to a campsite below Rumbak.
We left our hotel after an early breakfast.
In the footsteps of Brad Pitt?
An hour drive to Zingchan into the Hemis National Park.
Into high mountainous, rocky country by a tributary of the Indus River.
Problem number 1 : roadworks!
A longer walk than expected?
On the road again..
