A classical trek in a small group and one(!) packhorse over Shingo La from the starting point on the Manali-Leh road in Darcha to Padum in Zanskar. October 1989.
The route was (so far as I remember): Bus from Manali to Darcha. Darcha ~3360 — Zanskar Sumdo 4120 — Chamik Nakpo 4650 — [Shingo La 5100] — Lakong (Kargiakh Chhu) 4470 — [Kargiakh 4180] — Tangze 4050 — Purni 3850 — [side trip to Phuktal Gompa 4000] — Dorzong ~3820 — Reru ~3750 — Padum ~3600. Exit to Kargil, two days truck drive via Pentse La with a stop overnight in Rangdum Gompa. From Kargil, a bus to Srinagar.
