popularly known as the 'Chadar Trek' due to the formation of the thick blanket of the snow, it is considered as one of the challenging as well as tricky treks in the world. While at times, one can witness the gurgling water at every footstep, there are times when they can feel the snow thickets drifting away from underneath their feet. When this happens, the only way to continue with the trek is to hike through the snowy rocks and boulders beside the river. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

About the Trek
Ladakh is nestled deep in the valleys of Himalayas and is one of the most diverse landscapes to adorn the northern frontiers of India. Bedecked in stunning seasonal beauties that adorn different colours with the passing seasons. Blanketed in the thick white tufts of snow in the winters, the same region comes alive in diverse colors and hues during the summers. Shedding its white garb, it puts on a vibrant cloth of colors, vibrancy and diversity of flora and fauna.
About the Trek (cont)
However, it is during these harsh winters that the Zanskar River that flows through the valley, fully freezes over and is the only gateway to the valley. Resembling a long white bedsheet, it is no surpise therefore that the trek is called Chadar Trek. This one of its kind trek in the Himalayas attracts many adventurists, to conquer its slopes and mountainous terrains. Contrary to popular perception, the trek to Chadar Lake is trickier than it is challenging.
