The most isolated and made
inaccessible for nearly eight months a year due to heavy
snowfall resulting in closure of all the access passes,
Zanskar has the distinction of being the least interfered with
microcosms of Ladakh, and thus one of the last few surviving
cultural satellites of Tibet. This geographical isolation
together with the esoteric nature of Buddhism practiced here
has enabled its some ten thousand inhabitants to preserve and
perpetuate their cultural identity. This Chadar trek allows
you to penetrate this isolation and to examine some of the
villages along the Zanskar River in the midst of winter and
thus catch a glimpse of the lifecycle during this unique time
of the year. A visit to the ancient monastic establishments of
Karsha and Zangla promises to heighten your insight into the
mysteries of this Shangri-la, a land and culture frozen in
time behind the ramparts of the Zanskar Mountains. Chilling
and Ling shed are the only sizeable villages on this trek
until Hanamur and Pidmo before Pishu and Zangla in Zanskar,
all the rest are names of places and caves along the route.
