Chadar Trek Expedition
Zanskar
9 Days8 Nights
Event Overview
Chadar trek, also known as the frozen river trek is one of the most unique and challenging treks in Ladakh region in India. It is absolutely surreal to trek upon the frozen waters of Zanskar River, as the arduous mountain trail on the ice-clogged river passes through valleys, mountain caves and frozen waterfalls. In fact, one of the highlights of this Chadar trek package is to show you the most magnificent Nerak waterfall, which is frozen completely from top to bottom. The temperature here may dip to below minus 10 degrees and yet the frozen river trek attracts thousands of trekkers from all around the world. The river Zanskar freezes over in the winters and creates a sheet of ice on it, hence the name ‘Chadar’. Mid-January to mid-February is the best time for Chadar trek. The frozen Zanskar river is basically a connecting link between the villages of Zanskar Valley and town of Chilling in Ladakh. In the months of extreme winter, it acts as the only and the most stable way of staying connected to the rest of the world for the people here.
