Map: Ladakh & Zanskar (All routes)

Harsh, I would like to tell you my observation from recent ride to Leh...
I met two different group of people, both from Mumbai... Both were carrying a print of your map... When i saw the map i jumped to talk to them thinking they were from BCMT... Both never heard of BCMT site.... :(
They told me they got the map from friends or someone...
Such is the popularity of your map...
Congratulations... and Thank you so much.... :)
Even I gave this map to a friend's cousin (a non-BCMTian) :/
Your map is getting circulated among a lot of riders :)
And yeah...thanks a lot! :)
That gives me a kick to hear :). It feels nice when one's creation is appreciated and used.

I am planing this new route to Leh from Manali , but i am so confused as this Road route i am planing is showing up at Google Earth & Google Maps , but i have talked to so many people who are traveling to this region say that there is no such route & its just a tracking route ,not a proper motorable road or even dirt track for SUV's , Now my confusion is if there is no such road then how come its there on google earth / Maps & how come its also calculating Route , Time & Kilometers involved..

Route -
Manali - keylong - Padum / Sumdo( Zanskar Valley Road ) - Chilling - Sangam - Leh ( Zanskar Valley Road )

Manali - keylong - Padum / Sumdo( Zanskar Valley Road ) - Chilling - Sangam - Leh ( Zanskar Valley Road )
There is a road from Manali - Keylong.
There is a road from Keylong - Darcha (7 km ahead of Jispa)
From Darcha a road cuts towards west towarsd a place called Zanskar Sumdo, this is where the road ends.
From here beings a trek which ends at Padum.
Then there is a road from Padum to Zangla.
Then there is not even a trek route between Zangla - Chilling as it next to the river, and is only a trek route when the river freezes in Jan/Feb.
Then there is a road from Chilling to Leh.
