Description
A father holds his child's hand as he leads his family down the side of the frozen Zanskar River Gorge since the central regions of ice have melted. Known to outsiders as the Chadar frozen river trek (Chadar trek, Zanskar ice trek), each year in winter, hundreds of Ladakhi people make the 5 day walk on ice from their mountain homes in the Zanskar Valley down the frozen Zanskar River to the beginning of the nearest motorable road in the area. Location: Zanskar river gorge, Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Indian Himalaya, India
