Activities in Kanji village

Explore the Village
Wander through traditional Ladakhi homes, barley and mustard fields, and stone-lined trails flanked by towering cliffs. Observe authentic village life—locals spinning wool, brewing butter tea, or tending to their crops. Don’t miss the small Buddhist monastery perched on a ridge, offering tranquility and sweeping views of the valley below.
High-Altitude Trekking
Kanji serves as the starting point for several challenging and remote multi-day treks, including:
• Kanji La Pass (5,150 m): A tough but visually stunning route toward Rangdum in Zanskar.
• Pikdong La and Yogma La: Ideal for experienced trekkers seeking solitude and raw mountain beauty.
• Kanji–Shilakong Trek: A lesser-known trail that ends in Hemis Shukpachan, perfect for offbeat explorers.
These treks offer experiences like camping by rivers, crossing glacial valleys, and walking ancient shepherd paths.
Stargazing & Photography
With zero light pollution and high-altitude clarity, Kanji is a dream spot for stargazing and astrophotography. The dramatic, stratified mountains provide breathtaking scenery for sunrise and sunset photography.
Cultural Experiences
Stay in a local homestay to savor dishes like skyu, thukpa, fresh khambir bread, and tangy apricot chutneys. If you’re visiting during summer festivals or harvest season, you can witness local dances, rituals, and communal feasts. Learn firsthand about Ladakhi architecture, sustainable farming, and the rhythms of life in a high-altitude village.
