One of the most daunting treks in the Himalayas, the Chadar trek spans approximately over nine long days walking through the lovely white snowy mountains of Kargil, Jammu, and Kashmir and reaching heights as high as 11000. This journey makes one see the frozen river of Zanskar which flows through the splendid ravines and canyons of Ladakh. Chadar trek stays true to its moniker as it is popular for its blanket of ice which covers the entire river of Zanskar during the winter month. Thus, the trekkers get to experience walking on sheets of ice and camp inside caves to protect themselves from the freezing temperatures which may fall to -30 degrees Celsius. The trek starts initially from the frozen river in Zanskar, a small village of Chilling. The path that needs to be travelled is almost 105 km long, and thus, one must be physically fit to pull off this trek.


January to February is considered to be the best time to carry out this thrilling trek in the Himalayas.
