This is the third year and the field was a great mix of international and local kayakers. Paddlers from the UK, Denmark, Russia, Australia and Canada battled it out with Indian and Nepali paddlers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event is organised by Tsering Chotak from Ladakh and is a real highlight of the Himalayan season. A must for any visiting international kayaker
Ladakh is blessed with a plethora of amazing rivers from the classic Zanskar, Tsarap Chu, and Indus to the lesser known rivers of Wanla, Nubra and the still likely first descent of the Reru Chu and more.
Look forward seeing you all in 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
