Chadar Trek Best Season

The Chadar Trek, also known as the Zanskar Gorge Trek, is a winter trek in Ladakh, India, that follows the frozen Zanskar River. It is traditionally the only form of mobility in the area during the harsh winter months.

The Chadar Trek is the most precious gift bestowed upon this lovely region. Ladakh is home to various natural wonders, but the Chadar Trek is the most valuable gift bestowed upon this wonderful land. The trek is all about perseverance and survival – learning to survive in harsh terrains at sub-zero temperatures, interacting with locals and learning about their way of life, especially in one of the world's least habitable regions, all while trekking across a dramatic gorge with frozen waterfalls on the frozen trail of Zanskar spanned out like a "Chadar" that acts as a sky mirror!

The primal thrill of sleeping in caverns, meditating in subzero temperatures over blazing bonfires, and surviving it all — this is the "Do before you die" experience!
