Is your trip plan still on as per the below post?
Dhiren bhai. Excellent route narration with superb photography. I am planning a Leh-Ladakah from 21st Sept - 3rd Oct 2015 in my Swift Petrol with Extra Cautious and Careful driving. I have started doing my homework. I have summarized the route you have mentioned.
Route 1: (I guess this is the regular route)
Hanle > Punjok > Kyuntso > Nidar > Nyoma > Mahe > Sumdo > Tso Kiagar > Tso Moriri.
Hanle > Punjok: Tar road. Cross the gate at Punjok village to go towaqrds Kyuntso.
Punjok > Kyuntso: Gradual Ascent. Keep following iron markers on road-side.
Kyuntso > Nidar > Nyoma > Mahe > Sumdo > Tso Kiagar: Need Info !
Tso Kiagar > Tso Moriri: Need Info !
Route 2: (This is way more than a regular route. 'Extraordinary Route' would be the right phrase)
Hanle > Punjok > Kyuntso > Salsal La > Chumur > Tso Moriri > Tso Kiagar > Puga > Polokongka La > Tso Kar
Hanle > Punjok: Tar road. Cross the gate at Punjok village to go towaqrds Kyuntso.
Punjok > Kyuntso: Gradual Ascent. Keep following iron markers on road-side.
Kyuntso > Salsal La: Immediately after Salsal La decent, there is a right turn which seemed like a rocky track. DO NOT take this. Keep going straight towards Chumur plains.
Salsal La > Chumur: Entry point to Chumur plains is marked by a gap between 2 hills.
Chumur > Tso Moriri: Once you are in the Chumur plains, head towards a small hillock to the right side. Go to its base and travel right. A left here will take you deeper into Chumur Plains. Keep right and this will take you to Chmur - Tso Moriri road. Finally you will hit a crossing. take a right here towards Karzok. Smooth roads after this point.
Tso Moriri > Tso Kiagar: Need Info !
Tso Kiagar > Puga: Need Info !
Puga > Polokongka La: Need Info !
Polokongka La > Tso Kar: Need Info !
Ques 1) Is the summary correct? Have I missed something crucial? Any entry incorrect?
Ques 2) Would you be able to add something for the 'Need Info !' sections mentioned in Blue?
