Wild Commutes That Make Rush Hour Traffic Look Easy

Frozen River Trail

In the Himalayas, things are done a little differently. Since the winters can get so harsh, it's not uncommon for lakes and rivers to freeze over. Some roads close between the Zanskar district to Leh. During these closings, people have to find another way to travel, and usually, it's via the frozen rivers. The Chadar Trek is common for Indian students to walk over the frozen Zanskar River.
