How to prepare for Chadar Forzen River Trek in Ladakh
Chadar Trek - Frozen River Trek in Ladakh is one of the most glamorous treks in the world. It is considered to be extremely difficult because you have to trek on the frozen Zanskar river in winter when the temperature ranges between -15°C and -30°C.
Though the walk is simple, with no ascend, this trek brings it's own set of difficulties. The temperatures are beyond human tolerance. The ice on the river forms and breaks without any notice and in the worst case scenarios an alternate route through the snow-covered steep rocks has to be trailed through. It can snow at any time and leave the trekker guessing if there is ice or water beneath the snow cover. The preparation is tricky if not very difficult.

I travel to Evolve.. In Nature, I confide.. I find my calling in the Himalayas.. In the Oceans, I meditate.. A High-Altitude Trekker & PADI certified SCUBA Diver, I love exploring the heights and depths of the planet with my regular doses of mountains and oceans. Discovering myself & life through nature, adventures, travels, sports and dance has been an addiction since my existence! Quite fond of the natural & cultural diversity of India, I've travelled extensively in my own country before exploring international destinations. I had left my 9+ yrs of career in Software Industry in a quest to make a living out of my passions. I packed my basics in my car (gave away the rest) and lived in different parts of Himachal Pradesh for 16 months. This invaluable time taught me to experience life from a broader perspective. I'm currently living in Mumbai to work with an Adventure Travel company as a product manager for Scuba Diving. I continue living a minimalistic life.
