Chadar Trek is Star Trek. It is the most popular trek. Walking on the frozen is on everybody’s bucket list. The demand for this trek is tremendous. Probably, that is why every travel company, even locals has started conducting Chadar frozen river trek. With so many organizations providing this trek, there is a drastic change in the price of the Chadar trek. The price of this trek is a controversy these days. It is the only trek that is offered with so many variations in the package. Despite that, we always claim that we offer the best market price for The Chadar Trek. Pertaining to that, many trekkers enquire about our package and how we charge. Therefore, here’s a proper description of why we offer the best price for Chadar.


1- Accommodation

Many argue that money can be saved on accommodation. Well, it might be true for other travel places but not for the Chadar trek. Especially with minus temperatures right from Leh. Good and warm sleep is needed for the hour however cold it is outside. We understand that and therefore, we offer heated rooms from Leh itself. There are many arguments about rooms being centrally heated or only heated. Let’s clarify that first.

 Non-heated rooms: 

Such rooms have nothing to keep the room warm. Only extra blankets will be given.

 Heated rooms: 

In these rooms, a heater is attached in the room that is run on electricity or LPG gas. Gas-operated heaters are not good as they give out combustion gases. At high altitudes where the oxygen level is already low, such gases are not good to be inhaled. To avoid that, these heaters are timer-based.

 Centrally heated rooms:  

Many hotels have this facility nowadays where the heater is somewhere on the terrace. The heat is then circulated to all the rooms of the hotel through pipes. This is extremely safe as the actual heat generation happens far away and not in the rooms.

At TTH we offer attached washrooms and Centrally Heated rooms from Leh itself.


2- Two men sharing shelters

If you have trekked with us you know that we have two-person sharing tents. The same is followed on the Chadar trek also. Our guesthouses are also two sharing. Only in extreme weather conditions when many groups are stuck at camps and cannot move ahead, we accommodate 3 trekkers in one room.


3- Short Sight Seeing 

On day 2, we have included a short sightseeing activity. We observed that on the second day as there is the whole day for exploring Leh trekkers wander around. Therefore, we have included it in our package where we make all the arrangements for you all to roam around in Leh. The advantage is, that we have planned it such that it is strainless which eventually does not affect body acclimatization. If you know transport for 2-3 people is expensive when in a group it is cheaper and more fun. We cover all the major spots on Leh. We take care of everything.


4- Renting is available

If you are aware Leh is closed in winter. Renting equipment is not possible from Leh. But with TTH we offer rentals for our trekkers. This is to make life easy for trekkers who wish to not invest in expensive gear.


5- Skilled and Qualified team

And last but not least, as we always proudly claim, our Team is highly experienced and qualified. Chadar Trek is a risky trek. There are unpredictable incidents of Chadar breaking, sudden water level rising, AMS, etc. We have always rescued our trekkers and others safely. Our Trek Leaders are experienced, First Aid and Mountaineering Courses certified. Not only that, our Local guides are also skilled. We guarantee the safety of the trekkers.


6. Recognised and Trusted operator

Trek The Himalayas leading company in India, is a team of well-experienced and equipped personnel. We have been certified by the Ministry of Tourism, Uttarakhand Tourism Board, registered operators from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation, and active members of ATOAI. We have received an award in the last two years as the Best adventure sports provider from Uttarakhand tourism. Assurance, comfort, and safety or compromise at high altitude in -30 degrees temperatures, what is your choice? If it's the first one then trust us you are in the right hands of TTH.

Notes:

Please keep in mind that we shall change our policies and procedures based on Government regulations in the future. As you know, there can be last-minute announcements and we will have to follow them. However, we shall try to abide by the Government rules keeping in mind the welfare of our trekkers.

In general, trekking in the mountains is always categorised as either climbing or walking on the mountain trails. But what a lot of people don’t realise is that with each different grade of expedition, the techniques of climbing and walking on the mountains also change. The thing is that to climb some high grade of mountains, more than basic skills and techniques of climbing are required to learn. In fact, the ‘technical climbing’? It is not just for high-grade level mountain expeditions; this kind of technical knowledge is quite useful even in the easy graded expedition to ensure the safety of the trekker throughout their trek.

There is one question that every trek leader asks their trekkers when they first meet them: Do they really understand the importance of trekking shoes for their trek?

Hydration Can Make or Break Your Trek: Trek Leader’s Tips for Every Seasonred line

The main highlight of any trek journey will always be either the places you get to explore or the views that you will get to witness only once in your life. But to explore and experience all that scenic beauty, you must remain safe and healthy, which can be possible only if you do the proper intake of nutrients, and most importantly, of all consume water in a perfectly adequate amount. It’s an obvious yet the most ignored fact that Hydration is very important for trekking, it’s like the backbone of the whole trip. Which is why every trek leader’s first question at the start or end of their trek is - How much water did you drink today? Half of the time, the pattern of the answer remains the same, where some of them just give sheepy smiles, some tell numbers but are in doubt, and some of them have no idea whether they have drunk it at all or not.

Every year, hundreds of trekkers go on a winter trek specifically to enjoy and witness the snow-covered landscapes, stunning panoramic mountain views, and experience the serene beauty of nature. However, as they focus more on the enjoyment aspect of their journey, they sometimes overlook small details while preparing for their winter trek adventure. And the most missed details by trekkers are - not equipping themselves properly with winter trekking essentials, which will help them in staying warm during a winter trek. I mean, we all know that cold never suddenly comes in; it slowly starts creeping into the weather. When you are wearing your socks, at first you will feel chills in your body, then when you stop moving, a warmth will settle, and as you keep progressing in your trek, you will also start feeling colder. In one moment, you’re admiring frost-covered tree views, and in the other, you will be wondering why your fingers have started feeling numb suddenly despite wearing gloves.
