River
Trek,
Chadar
A
nother form of the trek that you
can opt for is Frozen River Trek,
Chadar if you are looking to do
something out of the league. Social media
is flooded with people uploading their
trekking images on snow covered
mountains. You can opt out of this rat race
anytime and go on an adventurous trek on
a frozen river where you have to watch
your steps as ice can be dangerous at times.
Chadar River which is popularly known
as Zanskar is located in Leh. The Frozen River
Trek begins from a small village of Chilling, the
place where Chadar river starts to freeze. Going
for Chadar river trek is like stepping into the
Arctic as the place is close to 20 degrees below the
freezing point and decreases further after sunset.

You need to aware at all times and figure out
the safe paths over a precarious sheet and keep
watching the condition of ice below. Trekkers can
also opt to camp in the caves along the bank of a
frozen river or set up tents at the place where ice
is most stable.
Suitable warm clothing is recommended to
keep yourself warm and keep your blood from
freezing. The terrain is very harsh and only few
dare to take the challenge it offers.
