Chadar - the frozen river trek

Chadar - The Frozen River Trek - doesn't the name itself sound interesting? One of the most beautiful and unique trek in the planet, Chadar trek is an ultimate experience to cherish for lifelong !! Its an amalgamation of experiences. That of being in The Cold Dessert of Ladakh, that too in winter where the temperatures drops as low as -30 degrees. The already beautiful and magical landscape of Ladakh is further beautified and made interesting by white snows covering the landspace.

The cold freezes the Zanskar river, one of the tributaries of Indus, and the upper layer forms a hard layer of ice which is walk-able and is just fascinating. It's unbelievable that the sheer gush and force of the same river itself is scary during summers and river rafting is a loved water sport with rapids upto class 4. To see the same river frozen and calm in the winters does make you calmer and excites your heart at the same time !
