The trek at a height of 11,000 ft was earlier supposed to begin on 10 January but was postponed by five days and has now been suspended till 20 January following the unfreezing of the Zanskar River, which has rendered the trekking route unsafe, said an official announcement by the Ladakh authorities on Monday.
It is worth mentioning that Chadar Trek is held annually during the harsh winter in Leh district of Ladakh when the Zanskar river freezes.
Chadar Trek amidst extreme weather conditions with temperatures dropping down to -25 degrees celsius is considered one of the most adventurous treks in the country and brings larger than life experience.
His visit to the frozen river comes within days of more than 100 stranded trekkers having been safely evacuated by the Army.
The mercury count was between -15 and -20 degrees during daytime while it dropped to around -25 degrees at night.
