Chadar Trek
Leh, Ladakh, Jammu & Kashmir
About
The Chadar trek is one such route, connecting villages in the Zanskar valley (deep in the mountains) with Chilling (on the road to Leh) along the frozen Zanskar River. This route has been used for centuries for trade and transportation, and is most reliable in February when the ice is most stable. It is a 6 day trek in inhospitable conditions. It is a trek over a frozen river in Ladakh. The truth is the extreme conditions are not hard to beat. With multiple layers and sensible trekking, the Chadar trek is not a very difficult trek. But what sets it apart is its unique experience.
