Zanskar is situated south west of Leh, the only motor able road is from Kargil , in the harsh Ladakh winter, the high passes out of the Zanskar valley become blocked by heavy snowfall and the only access to the outside world for the hardy Zanskaris lies along the frozen waters of the Zanskar river. We join them in the stark beauty of these icy landscapes on our adventurous trek along the "Chadar"  means frozen blanket.
