About Chadar Trek

If you’re someone who loves snow, adventure, and something totally different from the usual hill station trip, then you must have heard of Chadar Trek Ladakh. This trek is not a regular mountain hike, it takes place on a frozen river. The river is called Zanskar, and it freezes solid during winter, making it look like a glass sheet or “chadar,” which means blanket in Hindi.


The trek starts from Leh, and from there, you travel into deep valleys, icy trails, and snowy cliffs. It’s cold, yes, but the beauty around you will keep you moving. The experience is magical, tough, and totally different from any other trek in India. If you’re into adventure and want to try something unforgettable, this one is worth every step.


Do check out our Leh Ladakh tour packages, they’re designed for all types of travelers, and we make sure you enjoy your trip safely and comfortably—even if you’re going for this daring trek.
