The Chadar 2002 - Fire and Ice

Why climb the multiple passes to get out of Zanskar when you can trek the frozen river in winter?

See the Joel's Chadar diary for the same photos with his diary.

We will be trekking the route again - see Our treks.

Walking on water! Our porters are Zanskaris who drag the loads along. They know the river well.

It is a STUNNING walk, but often cold since parts of the gorge see little sun.

Looking thru to the bottom of the river.

In the beginning... (above)

And at the end of the 4 days thru the gorge below - the Kingdom of Zangla.
