snow hampers September trekkers

As well as
closing the Leh - Manali road, the heavy snowfall on
the 19th September (sorry this is a bit late - I have
been busy and not keeping an eye on the news!) played
havoc with trekking groups in Zanskar. Marco Vasta
reports being stuck at Shade, whilst another group
was reportedly stuck at Tantak waiting to cross the
passes that lead into Shun. Groups also returned from
the more popular Shinko La area, opting instead to
return to Kargil by road.
