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?

Regards
Dev

Not sure buddy. Leaves is a major roadblock. When I planned, I had no project. Now I have a project. Very difficult. Will clarify about leaves in Sept 1st week. :(
