The word "Chadar" means
"white sheet or blanket". And
that's what it appears like when you walk over the white
frozen Zanskar river. This trek though a demanding one
gives you all the thrills of a great adventure.
Temperatures can plummet to as low as -30° and even
though you walk through amazing landscape you have to be
prepared for a really cold experience of course kept
warm by glowing fires which we light up each evening at
camp. Our daily trek begins at around 9:00am and by then
the sun's up and blue
skies bring cheer despite the cold
temperatures. The trek goes along the Zanskar River in
the region of Lingshed and constitutes a walk of around
15 days with 3850m / 12,628ft.
Being the highest altitude
reached. Many of these spots
cannot be accessed during the
summer months as they go through
spectacular deep canyons and
gorges. A once in a lifetime
trek
