Chadar Trek also known as frozen river trek is said to be very unique trek and an ultimate opportunity for adventure lovers. It is a winter trek held in Zanskar and fun of this trek is to be walking on blanket of ice ( Chadar of ice ). This route is used by local Zanskari people since centuries to go out of the region when the area is isolated and inaccessible with the outer world due to heavy snowfall.
Most of the trek is done on the ice ( Chadar ) but at some places we must climb icy rocks or trails and in Zanskar itself we can walk through the normal trail used by the people daily. The total distance of this tour ( one way ) is approximately 105 Km and average distance cover a day is 15 to 17 Km. The temperature remains minus 15 to 20 during the day time and minus 25 to 35 during the night. After keeping all the facts in mind bring your warmest Jackets and sleeping bags also a pair of good shoes.

CHADER LINGSHET EXPEDITION
There are few if any adventure treks in the Himalaya to match the Chadar winter expedition for sheer, awe inspiring beauty, and none to match it in terms of day to day challenge and excitement. The frozen Zanskar river, part of the Indus watershed, is used by the people of Zanskar to go back and forth to the outside world when the passes are locked into frozen winter silence. Originally they carried butter, one of many commodities these villagers traded with the outside world. It had to be traded in winter.
