On 28 April, Fatima Beevi of Alappuzha district in Kerala got up earlier than usual. Her teacher came at 9.30 am, and both then left for a nearby school.

Our focus at Deyor Camps, a technology friendly platform, is to provide great travel experience by making bookings of experiential and adventure trips as simple as booking a hotel room or a flight.
In more recent times, experiential travel has picked up in India as gradually more and more travellers are giving hotels and resorts a miss to explore local experiences.
We are best in the country for experiences like bike trips to Ladakh, Spiti Valley, Bhutan, treks across 30+ mountain ranges and backpacking trips across Andamans and Bali
Ladakh is aptly called the "town of Qualcomm" and is one of the most unique and enjoyable regions in India. This vast and sparsely populated landscape is a dream come true for explorers from all over the world.
Enjoy an amazing cycling adventure in Ladakh, and let your adrenaline soar. This is a great opportunity for cycling touring enthusiasts looking for mountain adventures.
The Ladakh Bike Tour is a perfect combination of misty highlands, valley roads, and snow-capped mountains. Travel with your reliable people among all these fascinating sights and experience the magic.
Ladakh’s bike tour will take you to amazing places such as Manali, Jispa, Sarchu, Nubra Valley, Sham Valley, Pangong Lake, Leh, and more. Snow-capped mountains, lakes, and picturesque valleys while enjoying the exciting adventures of a lifetime.
The Chadar Trek or Zanskar frozen river trek is a winter trek in Zanskar Valley, Ladakh. The trek starts from Leh going through Shingra Koma, Tibb Cave, Naerak Camp concluding back in Leh. The 105 Km trek provides trekkers and hikers an amazing opportunity to trek on a frozen sheet of ice in subzero temperatures. The trek is operational during the months of January and February when the Zanskar river freezes into a solid sheet of ice.
Ladakh has various treks and beautiful camping locations. What sets Ladakh apart for travelers is the Chadar Trek which is quite challenging yet mesmerizing owing to its scenic beauty. That one glimpse of the topmost sections of the Himalayas would certainly awe an individual because of its breathtaking view.
The temperature during the trek varies from around -5 to -20 degrees celsius and the trekkers would occasionally face steep rocks along with facing treacherous sections of the Zanskar River. While this trek would offer a lot of difficult challenges, to the maximum point of questioning oneself, one would find all the answers once you observe and become a part of the Mighty Himalayas. And trust us, it would certainly be a life-changing experience.
