Chadar Trek

After breakfast, you will spend the rest of the day at leisure. You could take a stroll through the market which is lined with fine restaurants and eateries (at your own expense). Beautiful Thangka paintings on silk, hand-woven carpets and rugs are worth buying from the markets in Leh. Later, visit the Sonam Norboo Memorial Hospital in Leh to undergo a compulsory health check-up and acquire a fitness certificate without which you will not be allowed on the trek. As the day comes to an end, prepare yourself for the exciting adventures that will be coming your way tomorrow.

It's finally the day you've been waiting for. After breakfast, check-out from the hotel/guest house in Leh and embark on a thrilling long drive to Tilat Sumdo. During the drive, enjoy a short stopover for lunch at Nimu, a small village famous for offering views of the Zanskar and Indus River confluence.

Later, you will continue with your expedition to Tilat Sumdo by crossing multiple nerve-racking hairpin bends. From Tilat Sumdo, you will start trekking to the first campsite location - Gyalpo. Your guide will brief you about the tour and give tips on how to walk on the ice sheet. On the way, you will cross Shingra Koma that mesmerizes with picturesque views of huge mountain walls and serene environs. Once in Gyalpo, relax in your tent, enjoy your dinner and drift off to sleep.

Begin the day with a delicious breakfast and start trekking to reach your destination of the day - Tibb. Throughout the journey, you will pass by numerous caves and gigantic waterfalls, some of which are not even frozen despite the temperature being minus. When in Tibb, you will come across a big cave which is home to many locals. If time permits then do meet them and share a cup of butter tea. Once you reach the tent at Tibb, unwind and enjoy your dinner followed by an overnight stay.

Start your expedition from Tibb to reach Gyalpo. While trekking, you will come across high mountains rising from the sides of the river. If lucky, today, you might even catch a glimpse of a snow-leopard, fox and even ibex. In the evening, as you reach your camp in Gyalpo, enjoy your dinner and relax in a comfortable tent while watching stunning mountains shining radiantly in the moonlight.

Today is going to be the last day of your trekking expedition. From Gyalpo, you will start trekking to reach Tilat Sumdo. Once there, board a cab that will take you back to Leh. Upon arrival, check-in at the hotel/guest house to relax after an exhilarating trekking expedition.

The charm and thrill of the Chadar trek ends today. On this day, after breakfast, check-out from the guest house/hotel and make your way to the airport to board a flight for your onward journey
