The climb to Sho\ingo La is not a hard climb by Himalayan standards. There is snow on this path till mid-July. The climb up the glacier is well-traversed and avoids obvious crevassed areas.A series of prayer flags mark the Shingo La. Witness the impressive backdrop of the Baralacha range. Descend thereafter to Lakong, 4,470 m . The route descends from snow fields, past a few rivulets to Lakong, where we camp by the Kargyak river.
Cross the Kargyak river over a wooden bridge. A comfortable walk of 6-7 hours. Pass the impressive rock monolith of Gomburanjan. We cross from Himachal to Zanskar in Ladakh, Kashmir, with Kargyak being the first village on the Zanskar side. Kargyak is the highest permanent settlement in Zanskar valley.
Descend from Kargyak to the small village at Tanze at 3,850 m. From there to Karu, 3,990 m, follow a trail of well-maintained chortens to Tetha village at 3,950 m. From there it is a 5 km walk to Purne at the confluence of Tsarap and Kargyak rivers.
Cross Reu village and cut across the Mune plateau where a beautiful monastery is located.
A walk of 6 hours past the Bardan monastery at 3,620 m. This is considered to be the most important monastery in the valley. Belonging to the Drupka order, it has close ties with Hemis. We camp at Padum on the banks of the Tsarap river.
We descend via the village of Rinam and then on to Pishu village. The end of our journey is marked by long walls with the holy inscriptions and many chortens. A monastry nearby can be visited.
The trail climbs steadily towards the Purfi La at 3,950 m. The route follows the banks of the Zanskar river. Later there is a steep descent towards the camping area. Before we climb towards Snertse, we cross the boundary between Zanskar and Ladakh at a bridge

We gradually ascend to a height of 4,280 m and continue down along the Zanskar river, past the settlement at Nirag. We then ascend to the base of the pass.
Initially, there is a steep climb over scree for approximately 2 hours. The pass at 5,050 m can be translated as the Lion Pass. This is the highest point of the trek. Thereafter we descend to the village where we camp. The village has two small monasteries which are attached to the monastery at Lamayuru.
The trail ascends gradually up the valley to Sisir La. From here we descend to the village which is marked by three chortens as we approach. There are some tea houses here.
