Ladakh is the home to numerous natural wonders, but the most precious gift bestowed upon this magical land is the Chadar Trek. The trek is all about persistence & survival - of learning to survive in the harsh terrains at sub-zero temperatures, interacting with the locals & understanding their way of living, especially in one of the most inhabitable regions in the world, while you trek across a dramatic gorge with frozen waterfalls on the frozen trail of Zanskar spanned out like a “Chadar” it acts as a mirror for the sky!
This was my third visit to Ladakh and the first one during winter season. And I must admit, the life in winters is extremely tough here. Temperature during day was below -8 degrees and nights were below --16 degrees in Leh. So, if you're planning to visit Leh in winters, make sure you get enough warm clothes.
Chadar Trek region is even colder where the temperature can drop to -30 degrees and it will test your patience and mental strength
The easiest way to travel to Leh in winters is by air. The nearest airport is Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport (IXL) located in Leh.
Chadar Trek Itinerary:
Day 1: Fly to Leh | Arrival
Day 2: Acclimatization Day
Day 3: Medical Check up
Day 4: Leh to Tsomo Paldar
Day 5: Tsomo Paldar to Tibb Cave (10 KM)
Day 6: Tibb Cave to Nerak and back to Tibb Cave (14 KM one side, 28 KM in total)
Day 7: Tibb Cave to Tsomo Paldar (10 KM)
Day 8: Tsomo Paldar to Leh
Day 9: Fly back from Leh
It’s always good to plan for an additional day to accommodate any unforeseen conditions like bad weather, broken Chadar, flight delays or others. I stayed for extra 2 days and explored Leh.

[@KahindoorbyMeghaKapoor]

First of all, thanks for watching the videos. I used iPhone (handheld). Initially I tried gimble, but couldn’t walk along with it as you need lot of concentration to walk on slippery ice sheet.

[@KahindoorbyMeghaKapoor]

I have given details here kzbin.info/www/bejne/hp6waaV7fL15oqMsi=EG57317AStiKxvzr In terms of cost - it was the package cost around 26k + travel tickets + one additional day that I stayed in Leh. And yes, you need to invest in the right clothes

[@KahindoorbyMeghaKapoor]

Do watch this one kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmS3ZXaQp7ydlcksi=3iMQtoorfpoLK46I

[@64vivek]

can we get hiking pole at Leh on rent?

[@KahindoorbyMeghaKapoor]

Yes. Your trekking partner can also arrange if you ask.

[@KahindoorbyMeghaKapoor]

But if you regularly hike or regularly plan to hike it’s better to purchase one. The rent will cost you the amount the hiking pole.

[@Vishfilmxxx]

Hey, very informative! Btw which camera and mic you use for the video?

[@KahindoorbyMeghaKapoor]

This was all shot on iPhone
