The experience
The legendary Chadar — walking the frozen surface of the Zanskar river through a sheer ice canyon in the depth of a Ladakhi winter. Temperatures plunge far below zero, the ice shifts daily and you camp in caves along the gorge. A bucket-list expedition demanding serious cold-weather resolve.
The climb
You'll climb to 3,500 metres.
This journey rises to 3,500m. Hover any point to see that day's altitude.
