to trek with a group, the route has lots of stops to pause and take a breather, and ingest the

unbelievable beauty of nature, at its finest. At 4220 meter, it is a relatively easy and

straightforward climb, and a great start for amateurs.

6. Zanskar – the frozen river Trek Also marketed as Chadar – the frozen ice sheet of the river, Zanskar is an extremely difficult

trek. Foot wedged deep into the snow, and the potential risk of slipping on the floating

pieces of ice, the trek leaves you with breath catching moments at every step. The most

interesting facet of this trek is that, that the trekkers carve out their own route as the ice

formation does not remain constant. This trek is a test for the spirited ones!
