Padum is named after Padmasambhava. It is the only town and administrative centre in Zanskar. It was historically one of the two main capitals of the Zanskar Kingdom, the other being Zangla. It is 240 km away via the link road from Kargil town (National Highway No. 01D).
The population of Padum is about 1,000 people. The traditional heart of the village is below the gompa and Palace khar (now in ruins) where two large chortens stand above old buildings. A road was constructed in 1980 from NH1, Kargil over Pensi La while the road to Darcha is yet half way through. Padum has several hotels, homestays and restaurants meant for tourists. Padum has a post office, internet cafes and telephone booths.
Padum is at the centre of the tri armed Zanskar valley. It has an average elevation of 3,657 metres (11,998 feet). There are several villages to the north-east of Padum leading to Karsha monastery.
Padum is largely inhabited by people of Tibetan descent who follow Tibetan Buddhism, but there is a sizable Muslim minority (accounting for ~40% of the town's population), mainly Balti, who have been present in Padum since the 17th century.

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com A 3:00a wake-up at the Ibex Hotel in Padum to finish packing then out in the chill of morning to wait for our crew. Into a new jeep carrying less gear with packed breakfast and lunch made by cook Baikaji. This 4x4 had tires that were beyond pitiful. Bald, spare had chunks of tread missing! How long would these tires last? Surely not all the way to Kargil! And so began a 16 hour agonizing journey on what passed for a road... Just shoot me now...

Frozen over town of Padum in Zanskar! We had to helicopter in from Manali to get you this winter view from the headquarters of Zaskar in Jammu and Kashmir, India. The only way of reaching Padum in winter is by helicopter or on foot up the frozen Zanskar river. The Zanskar River is a north-flowing tributary of the Indus. In its upper reaches, the Zanskar has two main branches. First of these, the Doda, has its source near the Pensi-la 4,400 m (14,400 ft) mountain-pass and flows south-eastwards along the main Zanskar valley leading towards Padum, the capital of Zanskar. The second branch is formed by two main tributaries known as Kargyag river, with its source near the Shingo La 5,091 m (16,703 ft), and Tsarap river, with its source near the Baralacha-La. These two rivers unite below the vi...

http://www.TravelsWithSheila.com You wouldn't think that Padum had a population of only 1,000 people with all the goings on. The yearly Zanskar Archery Tournament, Karsha Gustor Festival, all taking place at the same time., the small town was loaded with tourists and Zanskaris. SkyWalker Travel had made reservations for three nights at a "nicer" place than the Ibex Hotel but the Padum hospitality industry has a long way to go. "Sorry, can only take you for one night." All righty now... Into Padum, guide Stanzin began making the rounds with the same reply. "Only one night...only two nights..." even though their rooms were EMPTY for all three nights. 'Tis a puzzlement. Since the Ibex Hotel was the only place that had rooms with toilets, this is where we'd stay. It actually looked ...
New uploads every Monday and Friday!! Zanskar valley is one of the most remote places in India. It is inaccesible by road for the winter months. Though in summer you can take the road to reach there - via kargil. The experience of travelling to Zanskar itself is a feat to be achieved. It is a trip of a lifetime. One has to be a true adventure lover to go to Zanskar. It takes about nine hours from Leh to Kargil. It is from Kargil that the backbreaking drive to Padum begins. Be prepared for the longest 234 km ever. It took us about 14 hours to reach. The road is unpaved, bumpy and uncomfortable. The drive is mind-blowing and the awesome beauty of the place, besides the bumpy road, will not let you take a quick nap. Padum is one of the major settlements in the area. There is a definite roa...
Among the high altitude mountain passes I have seen in Ladakh, Penzi-la pass is the most appealing. In early summer 2nd June, the entire place was frozen and had a beauty of its own. Surrounding hills splattered with snow looked majestic. The Statso / Langtso lake was frozen with periphery giving it a profile. The snow-melt freezing because of sub zero temperature during maximum time of the day, presented a unique nature's creation - the ice ripples. Not many pics and videos are seen in google search for ice ripples. My travel blog on Zanskar valley jeep safari including Penzi-la stop over can be read by taking the following link: http://trekline.blogspot.in/2012/10/zanskar-valley-jeep-safari-rangdum-to.html

The distance between Keylong to Darcha via Leh - Manali highway in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh is 29 Kms approximately. It takes around one hour to reach Darcha from Keylong in Himachal Pradesh. Situated at an altitude of 3350 m, Keylong is the headquarters of Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh. The region is strange, exciting, primitive mountainous and delightful. Rudyard Kipling said of the region "Surely the God live here this no place for men." The route to Lahaul takes a traveler over Rohtang Pass (3980 ml), Koksar (1st village of Lahaul) Sissu, Gondla and crossing the river Chandra Bhaga at Tandi. By road the distance is 115 km from Manali, 188 km from Kaza, 373 km from Leh, 435 km from Chandigarh and 690 km from Delhi. Heavy winter snows cut off road connectivi...

I wanted to live in a land of the bottoms but
Momma said no
I wanted to dance in the bottomly fields but
Momma said noooooooooooo
She said noooooooooo
And now I can't goooooooo
to laugh in the land where
the bottoms run free
She said nooooo
And now my heart is soggy inside of me
Cos' i knooooooooooooow
I won/t ever knoooooooooooooow
the joys the bums can give
So i sit in my room
With the music up loud
And i want to know
Theres a knock at the door
It's momma with my underwear
My bottom can't be free
Anymore
She said noooooooo
And now i can't gooooooooo
To the land where
