Chadar Trek - an experience that must not be missed

The Chadar Trek is quite a challenging trekking expedition in India. This trek is nestled in Ladakh's Zanskar region. What's unique about this trek is that it requires crossing a frozen river, River Zanskar with massive snow-capped mountains lining the sides. The trek is taken during the winter months ranging from January to February. The weather of  January & February months are perfect for frozen river walk as the river is covered with thick sheet of ice.

Why do you require taking the trek immediately?

There is a project sanctioned by the government that would have a concrete road built connecting the neighboring regions to Zanskar for enhanced connectivity and commutation. The development of the road would happen on River Zanskar. This would further lead to the opportunity of Chadar Trek available for a limited period of time.
