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.
