Chadar Trek - Frozen River Expedition 8 Days Tour

Experience one of India’s most iconic winter adventures with the Chadar Trek – Frozen River Expedition (8 Days), a thrilling journey across the frozen Zanskar River in Ladakh. Known as one of the most challenging and breathtaking winter treks in the Himalayas, the Chadar Trek offers a rare opportunity to walk on a naturally frozen river surrounded by dramatic gorges, snow-covered cliffs, and pristine wilderness.
This 8-day expedition is carefully designed to allow proper acclimatization to high altitude and extreme winter conditions, with temperatures often dropping below -20°C. Starting from Leh, the trek takes you deep into the Zanskar Gorge, following the traditional winter route once used by locals for trade and communication. Each day presents a mix of walking on solid ice, negotiating icy patches, and witnessing stunning frozen waterfalls and caves.
