It is hard to trek on the frozen Zanskar river. A pair of walking sticks is a must. On the Chadar Trek, walking sticks are a must. They help trekkers stay steady on ice and keep them from falling.
Any camera would work; the problem might be with the batteries. When it's cold, the batteries lose power more quickly. Make sure you keep the batteries warm by putting them in your sleeping bag or inside your jacket so they don't die. Socks or other warm clothing should be used to wrap up the new batteries so they don't drain as quickly.
