Chadar Trek (Frozen River)

The Chadar Trek is one of the most extraordinary adventures on Earth. 'Chadar' means blanket in Hindi, referring to the sheet of ice that forms over the Zanskar River during the harsh Ladakhi winter, creating a frozen highway through an otherwise inaccessible gorge.

For centuries, this frozen river was the only winter route connecting the remote Zanskar Valley to the outside world. Today, it has become a bucket-list adventure for trekkers seeking an extreme and unique experience.

Walking on the frozen river at temperatures dropping to -30°C, camping on ice, and witnessing frozen waterfalls and ice caves make this trek an otherworldly experience. It's not just a physical challenge but a mental one, testing your limits in ways few other treks can.
