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. 
For this expedition we uses local staff from Zanskar, all the porters, and guide are from Zanskar itself, in every sense we want to give you a local feeling, and it helps the visitors to interact easily with local families, and monks. You will never forget the gathering and camp fire in evening, some places you have to sleep in caves, which will give you a life time experience.
