Event Overview

It’s that time of the year, when winter trekkers start making plans to visit Zanskar river in Ladakh to enjoy Chadar trek. I am one of those few lucky ones, who has been a proud witness to this breathtaking winter beauty. Talking about Chadar trek itself take me on a trip down the memory lane. This seven to eight day trek from Chilling to Naerak over the Zanskar is both challenging as well as an unforgettable experience. The landscape acquires a pristine grandeur in winter as the trail enters into the gorge of the Zanskar.

	Day 1 - Reporting day at Leh The moment you land at Leh Airport, you will be welcomed by shockingly picturesque Leh Airport. It’s advisable to wear warm clothes and woolen gloves at the time of landing, as you’ll feel the abrupt drop in temperature. You can relax at your guesthouse and explore the Leh market in the evening. It would be easier on the trek if you you get used to the cold temperature in Leh because the temperature will only fall as you reach the frozen Zanskar Valley.
	Day 2 - Acclimatization Day As per the regulations and keeping in mind the health problems that trekkers might face (AMS), anyone doing the Chadar Trek should be atleast spend two days in Leh for the body to get fully acclimatized to the weather conditions. It is unalterable and it is essential and is to be strictly followed by every trekker. Trekkers can spend the day by visiting the places around the city.
	Day 3 - Leh to Tsomo Paldar via Chilling & Tilad do Today you’ll be directed to the first campsite of the trek, Tsomo Paldar via Chilling & Tilad do. It is one of the most picturesque drives which with some of the top spots in Ladakh like Gurudwara Pathar Sahib, Magnetic Hill and the convergence of the Zanskar and Indus where you can take a pit stop to click pictures. After an hour and a half long drive, you will get you to Chilling. Understanding the ice forms and patterns, slowly you will know which surface is brittle and which is solid. A small and light backpack will help you balance your body weight in an effective way. After an hour and a half long trek, you will reach your first campsite at Tsomo Paldar.
	Day 4 - Tsomo Paldar to Tibb Cave After spending a cold night in the tent, have a wholesome breakfast and a hot cup of tea that will reactivate your senses in the morning in such subzero conditions. As you start trekking towards Tibb cave which is our next campsite. This trek route has some of the most attention-grabbing frozen waterfalls that one can encounter. Lunch will be served midway to Tibb cave. After walking for a couple of hours you’ll reach your campsite, you will be camping near the Tibb cave which is encircled by dry sand.
	Day 5 - Tibb Cave to Nerak As you move towards Nerak, the most anticipated campsite of the trek. Today, the route is almost 13km that takes you to the most iconic landmark of the Chadar trek i.e. the frozen waterfall. Hot lunch will be served on your way to the campsite. Considerably, Nerak will be the coldest campsite on the trek where the temperature goes down to -30 degrees during the night. Trekkers are advised to wear proper layers to stay safe from the freezing cold. If we are able to to reach the waterfall on time, there are chances we might visit Nerak Village as well. Camps will be set at a distance of 15-20 minutes from the waterfall.
	Day 6 - Nerak to Tibb Cave Today, we start our return trip walk back to Tibb. The route of the return would not be easy as the river can rapidly react to any change in the temperature. By this time the icy river might have taken a completely new form. On our way back, we can admire the beauty of the valley and click pictures.
	Day 7 - Tibb Cave to Gyalpo Beginning from Tibb, we trek upwards to Gyalpo today. The high icy walls and mountains rising from either sides of the river almost make it look like an ice castle.
	Day 8 - Gyalpo to Tilad do to Leh This is the last day of trekking on the Chadar and the last chance to engage in the pristine beauty of this frozen river. When you reach Tilad Do, it is time to say good-bye to the Zanskar Valley. You stay in a guest house overnight.
	Day 9 - Depart from Leh Next day, you will reach Leh approximately by 6:30 in the evening. We recommend trekkers not to book a flight on 8th Day of the trek but on the 9th Day.
