Overview & Highlights

Delhi - Manali - Old Manali - Shinkhu La - Gonbo Rongjon - Jispa - Sissu - Manali - Delhi
Think Zanskar is too far for a short trip? Think again.
This unique Gonbo Rongjon expedition from Manali is designed for travellers who want to experience the raw beauty of Zanskar without taking long leaves. In just a few days, this journey takes you beyond the usual Manali circuit into landscapes that feel untouched and truly remote.
The highlight of the trip is reaching Gonbo Rongjon, often called the “God’s Mountain” - a sacred and rarely visited peak that stands tall amidst dramatic Himalayan terrain. The journey itself is equally thrilling as you cross the mighty Shinkhu La, a high-altitude pass connecting Himachal to Zanskar.
From driving through the iconic Atal Tunnel to witnessing the changing landscapes of Lahaul Valley, from serene stops at Sissu to the confluence at Tandi, this trip is packed with scenic moments and offbeat experiences.
Perfect for those who seek something different, this short Himalayan escape offers adventure, exclusivity, and breathtaking views, all in a limited time. If you’re craving a quick yet powerful mountain experience, this is your chance to explore a side of the Himalayas that very few get to see with WanderOn.
