From Padum the route leads over the
eastern rope bridge, below the town on the right bank of the Lunak, on the
source river of Zanskar region. Thonde is an
important town for trekking tours towards Lamaryu because this is the
first place where horses can be hired on this ride of the rope bridge. The
best view if the irrigated fields, in which the semi circle of houses lie,
is from the monastery, which has about 60 monks and showcases the intact
life of the monastic life.
