India security assessment
Ladakh, Zanskar and Himachal Pradesh
"India has progressed into a modern nation hampered by backward forces.
Pakistan is regressing into a medieval society with a smattering of modern elements."
All our treks in Ladakh and Zanskar and Himachal Pradesh are
in safe areas that
have never experienced the separatist Kashmir troubles.
Take a look at this map from the Economist to see how far Leh is from Srinagar.
2009 season
For several years India and Pakistan have been trying to resolve differences and the
countries are slowly moving (with inevitable hiccups)
towards a permanent solution. Now the problem is much more internal, general dissatisfaction within
Kashmir, however tourists are not a target.
If travelling be mentally prepared for random strikes and other disturbances. We still do not recommend
trekking out of Srinagar and the trekking routes that are accessed from that side of Kashmir.
