Highlights
This
trek follows the course of the previous trek to Zangla. In Zangla it leaves
the Zanskar River and starts ascending steeply toward the Charchar La, the
first and higher of the two major passes to cross on this trek. In general
all the characteristics of the Chadar trek on ice apply, however,
additionally the treks involves possibly strenuous trekking in deep snow
once the ice of the river is left behind. The crossing of the passes is only
undertaken weather permitted only and when the snow bound passes actually
allow for a passage at all and thus conceivably subject to change upon short
notice! Although this trek on account of sustained trekking for twenty days
is one of our most difficult, traversing the winter wonderland of the
Zanskar Range promises to be one of the most rewarding, offering the best of
Ladakh and Zanskar trekking with visits to some of the region's most unique
monasteries.| Duration: | 26 Days |
