Itinerary

• Day 01 - Arrive Leh: Upon arrival at Leh Airport you will meet with our representative and transfer to hotel for check-in. On the first day of your trekking trip in Ladakh, you will spend your entire day in Ladakh for acclimatization. Although there are many things to do in Leh Town, it's best that you spend your entire day at leisure allowing time for high altitude acclimatization. Full day rest. Overnight in Leh.
• Day 02 - Leh  - Talid Sumdo (Chilling) 2 Hrs' Drive: After breakfast we will drive from Leh to Chilling with our support staff to begin this amazing and most exciting winter trek. Shortly after leaving Leh, we reach Nimoo, the confluence of Zanskar and Indus rivers.The sight is amazing as the iced up and frozen Zanskar meets the fast flowing Indus. We stop here for around 5-10 mts for all to have a view and a click. We then turn down for Nimoo following the trek parallel to the frozen river Zanskar, a drive towards the road head beside the frozen river is another amazing experience. Travel distance between Leh and Chilling is around 64 KM. We reach now to the point, past the village of Chilling to where the roadhead ends. Touching the Chadar first time, we start the trek for 1-2 hrs along the magnificent frozen river Zanskar till Tilat Sumdo. Overnight in tent.
• Day 03 - Talid Sumdo - Tsomo Paldar: Wake up time is around 7:00 am, freshen up. Breakfast with hot tea and you are ready for a day full of frozen ice river trek by 9:00 am. Hearing the different sounds of Chadar forming and breaking, you will soon get familiar where the Chadar or the ice cover is thick and thin. With an early lunch break in between, we would soon reach the majestic place. Lunch is in between the trek, where we all stop where sunlight is abundant through duration is much less as the river flows through a gorge and direct sunlight time is limited. we trek again on frozen ice towards the designated camping site for the day. Overnight at camp.
• Day 04 - Tso Mo Paldar - Tibb: Today we will have early breakfast, it is another day of ice expedition among some of the most fantastic landscapes and ice vistas. Vast mountains sides rise up abruptly from the river as it flows through gorge. We might even catch sight of bharals or blue sheep as we trek along the frozen river. Though today is the longest day of the trek, we pass through some magnificent beautiful waterfalls and frozen ice cliffs on the left. It is like walking through a giant freezer. The walk also cross through a narrow gorge, where the trekker may have to climb briefly on to the rocky river bank. We trek again on frozen ice towards the designated camping site for the day. The sharp bends and current of the river break the ice in some places. Lunch in between of a flat rocky hillside by the river. Overnight in camp.
• Day 05 - Tibb - Neyrak Pullu: Again one of the magnificent day on the Chadar trek. However, the caution is that this can become difficult if the Chadar is not very firm. The vistas are stunning though as we pass through giant frozen waterfalls, ice cliffs and one may even catch sight of the mountain fox.After lunch, we pass the incense tree, so called because the locals use it its branches to burn in their morning rituals and the prayer flags draped tree marks the entrance to Zanskar proper. The porters will normally trace a few twigs from the tree. We reach Naerak campsite by late afternoon. An old, dilapidated bridge on the river as folklore goes is thought to be more than 1000 years old. A trail is normally beaten through in the snow towards the village up high in the mountain. Overnight in camp.
• Day 06 - Neyrak Pullu - Tibb: Though technically it is the same way back, it is also quite different. The Chadar or the blanket of ice that is forming on the river Zanskar is always changing, breaking up and forming itself again. As the Chadar dynamics are ever changing, the same route and place would look and feel different as the texture and conditions changing. All along the way, trekkers will pass by and meet a lot of locals wearing their traditional woolen dresses, trekking their way towards the village of Padum, Lingshed and Neyrak. Pleasantries are exchanged and even a few stories and legend about the Zanskar and its people can be heard. Their warmth and smiles are amazing among all the hardships. Overnight at camp.
• Day 07 - Tibb - Shingra Koma: Starting from Tibb, go up to Shingra Koma today. The high walls of mountains rising from the sides of the river almost look like castle walls. You can see several trails of pug marks along the trek-footprints belonging to foxes, ibex or even snow leopards. You will be lucky to view a snow leopard but you can almost be sure that you are being watched by one all the time. Overnight in camp.
• Day 08 - Shingra Koma - Tilit Do - Leh: Today is the last day of this amazing unique trek. We finally return back to the road head where our vehicle will be waiting to take us back to our hotel at Leh. A huge goodbye to the supporting staff, their absolute dedication and support is nothing short of amazing. Finally on reaching at Leh hotel room of after 8 days, yet the experience of this ice trek will be remembered forever. Overnight at Leh.
• Day 09 -Leh: Transfer to Airport to catch your flight for your onward journey towards home.
