One of the most unexplored and isolated region of this Himalayan kingdom, Zanskar remains inaccessible for nearly eight months a year due to heavy snowfall closing all the passes joining it to the outer world.
Chader meaning frozen blanket is the only way in and out for the inhabitants of this remote region during the winter. This traditional trade route for winter has recently become a popular trekking destination. The several days walk through gorges and caves and over the frozen river is an ultimate experience for adventure lovers.
