Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:Nestling between the Greater Himalayas and the Zanskar Range, the Zanskar Valley is Ladakh’s remotest and loveliest valley. The Zanskar Valley is a part of Ladakh region in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. Spread over an area of about 5000 square kilometres and at an elevation of 4010 metres, it is situated in Kargil district. Zanskar’s western arm (fed by the Stod river) is studded with small setlements and agricultural expanses, as opposed to its eastern flank (watered by the Lungnak), which is an isolated, forbidding gorge. Prone to heavy snowfall, the Zanskar Valley is sealed off by snow-locked passes for almost eight months of the year. The passes open only around June and close by mid-October, beckoning intrepid trekkers and rafters to its challenging mountain trails and treacherous waters, for here nature gives no quarter but will reward those who dare. Padum, the biggest village and headquarters of Zanskar, along with Lamayuru, is the base for adventure activities here. It comes as no surprise that the journey, by jeep, raft or even on foot, both to and through this dramatic terrain, ends up being the destination.
