FROZEN RIVER TREK - CHADAR @ INR 49,900/-

Ready to walk a path others shudder to tread? 

If you're game for some really serious adventure, dig your woolens and layer yourself with thermals because we're about to take you to a frozen river. Think about it, how many can boast of bringing in the New Year on the stunning Zanskar River, a tributary of the Indus in Jammu & Kashmir? 

 Here's what to expect on this trek: high altitude, icy temperatures and a place where time stands still. As the old year melts into the new, you look at life and the universe with a fresh perspective. Suddenly, life as you know it appears mundane as you gaze at a jaw-dropping sheet of ice as far as the eye can see. 

We are in Chadar - a blanket of ice - becuase it covers the entire Zanskar River during the extreme winter months of December, January and February. The beautiful Zanskar Valley can be accessed only during these months by walking on the this frozen river. Trekkers and adventure-seekers are increasingly making their way here but it's still virgin territory. 

Begin your trek at Chilling village, a four-hour drive from Leh. The trek will take you through breathtaking views of sapphire skies, crystal-clear waters running under a thick veil of ice, frozen fingers of ice creeping down mountains, mystic caves and rocky gorges. And if you're lucky, you could chance upon the notoriously reclusive snow leopard. 

While the more adventurous can trek up to Dambuchan for a home saty or opt for an overnight cave stay, back in chilling, you can bunk in a warm Ladakhi home (made of think mud blocks) and relish local delicacies like thupka and tsampo. When the clock strikes 12, ring in the New Year with the locals, who are always happy to regale visitiors with traditional songs and dance around a campfire. To make sure you don't freeze in the sub-zero tempreture, they serve gurgur-chai, a salty Ladakhi tea. And if you're brave enough to opt for a cave stay, you can cook your food inside a cave and usher in 2013 in classic back-to-nature style.

You trip  would be incomplete without sightseeing. So reserve a day to explore Chilling - meet the local ladakhi population, learn about their culture, be wowed by their architecture, and treasure hunt for their famous iron and copperware and buddha statues.

Last-Minute NYE Trip 2012-13

Still not sure what to do  for New Year's Eve?

You're not alone. Most of the people put off thinking about how they'll ring the new year until very last minute. For procrastinators with a bit of planning in their blood, here is a last minute New Year's Eve Travel Deal - Pack Up and Celebrate the New Year some where special!

It is in the foothills, and it has great slopes, and it rubs boundaries with the famous Jimmy Corby, yeah, the Jim Corbett National Park, the trails that the epic God roamed once.

If that wasn't enough, it overlooks the river-valley of the great river Baur. (It is not so famous, and in our work, we treat that as a great thing.) We farm like anything in this camp - all organic, all outbound, fresh veggies and stuff, and can actually harvest them for your own dinner, while you are following the trail of the elephant.

Let us get together and have a life 'out there'. Call us, email, get in touch, fill it up people!!

01st JAN 2013: Green Tea + Lemon Water + Water....and more Green Tea + Lemon Water + Water....that's you're gonna ask after last night's bonfire.
