Why in news
An unusually warm winter this year has impacted extreme winter sports like ice hockey and the 105-km Chadar trek in the cold desert mountains of Ladakh, considered the country’s coldest place, where the minimum temperature can drop up to -40 degrees Celsius.
Ice hockey rinks in Ladakh’s Kargil town witnessed rare scenes over the last weekend when the organisers switched on fans at night to bring down the temperature.
Basic Details
The Chadar Trek, also known as the Zanskar Gorge Trek, is a winter trek over the frozen Zanskar River in the Indian Union Territory of Ladakh.
It is a challenging and unique trek that takes you through some of the most spectacular scenery in the Himalayas.
