Also called Sangam. Given the limited choice of places to visit in Leh, it a good place to spend some time. One can do rafting, boating or canoying, otherwise just sit there and enjoy the view. Given the footfall, facilities need to be improved. Just one average place to eat, dirty toilets, etc., put you off. Take a cap and use sunscreen to avoid tanning.

Two rivers with different colours and varied flow force of water converge at the Sangam to become one and flow downstream. The rivers also have rafting.

Roads cut into the slopes of the barren mountains take you to the confluence of the Indus and the Zanskar rivers called the Sangam. The distinct colour difference is visible from the hill top the muddy brown mixing with the blue and then tripping aling happily. At the base there are river rafting activities. The place is rather unkept with one cafe where nothing much is available.

This is another confluence of The indus and Zanskar rivers. The view from top of the road is very good and we can take very nice pictures covering both the rivers.
If you have spare time then may be you can plan river rafting at the highest point. timings for rafting is before 17:00 during May.

The beauty of the blue Indus meeting the white Zanskar and combining into a single river is just magical. The backdrop of majestic rocks and clouds makes this point awesome. Views are best'seen from height. For rafting one has to go to the banks but it is advisable only in July August when river is full of current. Water level is too low in June.

The two colors in the same river is really mesmerizing to see. The Indus & Zanzkar rivers have their own colors and flowing in a steady calm cool weather is mind blowing.!

Amazing place to visit. You can enjoy the confluence from the top of the road to the sangam point more than while you are the bank of the river. While at the river, try to do rafting if you are the adventurous kind.

Sapna i would suggest complete rest, ie not even having a bath or climbing stairs the day you arrive. You will feel nauseating and a dull headache the entire day. So pls rest on the 1st day...then only will you enjoy the rest of your trip. We a family of 4 with 2 teenage sons took 1 Diamox everyday.And have lots of water.

Nubra and pangong are a must. To me monasteries are all same and one seen all see. If you are little bit of a dare devil go for rafting at zanskar River. Pl take warm clothes. Take homeopathic medicine coca6 and have six globules in the morning and evening. This is for your breathing and high mountain sickness

This time of the year Leh would be freezing cold - therefore you must carry good jackets, warm clothes, gloves etc to keep yourself warm. Also since Leh is a high altitude place, you should carry medicines like Diamox tablets to help you get rid of mountain sickness.
Following is the sightseeing itenary which I followed during my trip:
Day 1: Arrival at Leh, Airport Rest of day at leisure for acclimatization. Overnight at Leh
Day 2: Visit Spituk Gompa, Hall of Fame, Shanti Stupa, Sankar Gompa, Leh Palace, Namgyal Gompa. Overnight at Leh
Day 3 : Gurdwara Pather Sahib, Magnetic hill, Indus & Zanskar confluence, Basgo Monastery, Likir Monastery, Alchi Monastery. Overnight at Leh
Day 4 : Travel to Nubra Valley covering Khardungla Pass, Samstanling Monastery, Sumur sand des. Overnight at Nubra
Day 5: Travel back to Leh covering Hunder sand dunes, Hunder Monastery, Diskit Monastery, Lachung temple. Overnight at Leh
Day 6 : Sindhu Ghat, Shey Monastery, Thikse Monastery, Stakna Monastery, Changla Pass, Pan gong Lake. Overnight at Pangong
Day 7: Travel back to Leh covering Hemis Monastery, Matho Monastery, Stok Palace. Overnight at Leh
Day 8: Departure from Leh Airport.

The altitude of the confluence is lower than Leh. The road to the spot is good. If you have acclimatised yourself at Leh for a day, there won't be any problem.

Is it possible to do rafting at Confluence? Which is the best time to do ?How about safety measures? How must is the cost?
Hall of fame is temporarily close for renovation....rest can be covered in one day.........Magnetic hill shall not take much time once there...........Rafting is available at confluence......Safety looks fine.......cost shall be in the range of 1500 INR.......
