Ladakh’s winter tourism hit as iconic Chadar Trek put on hold after Zanskar River unfreezes

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.
