Embark on the iconic Chadar trek, one of the most celebrated treks in the Indian trekking community, on a unique and little-known itinerary. For 12 days spent deep inside the Zanskar valley, you'll trek over the frozen river of Zanskar, stay in tents beside the turquoise river, hike across frozen waterfalls and explore a terrain of barren rock-faces, narrow gorges and rugged mountain slopes. With a creaking sheet of ice underneath your gumboots, you'll trek to grab some of the most extravagant views of the Ladakhi mountains.
While most travellers to the frozen river only trek till Nyerak Pulu, you'll continue deeper into the valley to visit the small village of Zangla. Here, you'll spend a day living with a local family and embark on day trips to visit the Padum marketplace and Karsha Monastery.
A riveting adventure at more than 11,000 feet in the mountains, the Chadar trek is only recommended for travellers with previous experience of at least one high-altitude trek.
Located in the heart of rough and craggy mountains of Ladakh, the glacier-fed river of Zanskar cuts across towering hills and valleys. When the temperatures drop to sub-zero with the onset of winter, the Zanskar river water turns into ice freezing the entire river. This thick sheet of ice is rigid enough to allow trekkers to traverse from one end of the river to another, giving rise to the famous Chadar trek. Literally translating to 'a blanket of ice', the Chadar trek offers a unique perspective of Ladakh's mountains since it is the twists and turns of the Zanskar River that make for the trekking route.
