The frozen bliss
The Chadar trek is a winter trail in Ladakh. It is in the Zanskar valley to the southwest of Leh and surrounded by the Himalayan and Zanskar mountains. This used to be the only way in and out for the Zanskaris during the winters as all other routes were blocked due to the snowfall. Today, the Chadar frozen river trek is gaining popularity as an adventure activity with adventure seekers wanting to experience this trek for themselves. This is one of the most famous treks in the world with pictures of it widely displayed all over. Chadar literally means blanket and it is called so because the rapid Zanskar River freezes during the cold winters during the months of January to February. This is also a place where the Buddhist heritage is preserved and there are many monasteries present here and a lot of religious activities taking place.
