Zanskar River Trek

Zanskar River Trek

Photo Gallery

Overview

A trek on of the frozen Zanskar River, locally known as Chadar, is an unforgettable journey. You will be exploring areas that are cut off from the outside world for over eight months in a year and can be visited in winter by following the old caravan trail along the frozen Zanskar River. You will be walking through the Kingdom of Zanskar and encountering the small towns of Pishu, Pidmo, Stonde and Zangla with their impressive monasteries and forts en route.

One interesting aspect of this trek is that you will have the opportunity to stay with local Zanskaris and gain an insight into the remote cultures of Zanskar and Ladakh. Cho Oyu Trekking team members support the local economy by employing locals as guides, porters and cooks.

Graded as an expedition (grade 5) due to the remoteness of the area and unpredictable weather conditions, this is an adventurous trek in the true sense of the word. It would be beneficial for one to have some prior basic mountaineering experience, especially in the use of ice axes and crampons. You should also be prepared to bear with the extremely cold temperature (down to –35ºC at night). Above all, you should have a flexible attitude to deal with the ever-changing weather conditions, be mentally and physically robust and possess a penchant and spirit for adventure par excellence.
