Used by locals to travel between Leh and Zanskar, the walk has now become a tourist attraction. It\u2019s thrilling and incredibly dangerous, but the stark landscape is also stunning, with nothing around for miles except walls of ice almost 2,000ft high around you and vast stretches of ice underfoot.
