Chadar Trek (Frozen River)

About this activity

In winter, the Zanskar River freezes over, forming a sheet of ice (Chadar). The trek involves walking on this frozen river for days, in temperatures dropping to -30 degrees Celsius.

It is one of the most challenging and unique treks in the world. You walk through narrow gorges with frozen waterfalls hanging from the cliffs.

It tests your endurance but rewards you with a landscape of pristine, frozen beauty that few get to see.
