The stage introductions also include crucial information about the availability of water. Read these carefully and take note! You will need to drink at least 4–5 litres of water a day, and in some places it takes a few hours to get from one source of water to another.

Route profiles give an overview of the altitude range you will have to tackle during each stage. More detailed information on ascent and descent will be found in the stage summary for every day.

There are generally two kinds of places where you can camp. ‘A camp’ or ‘camping place’ refers to a wild place where camping is possible (indicated by a white tent symbol on the maps). Whenever a campsite is mentioned, this means an organised fee-paying camping site (a yellow tent symbol) – usually you can expect to find a simple shop and a Ladakhi toilet there. Be aware that the exact location of some campsites may change slightly from season to season.
