The altitude information for most of the places mentioned comes from the author’s own GPS measurements. The Ladakh & Zanskar Trekking Map at 1:150,000 is the most detailed map available, and altitude is accurate at the places that have been checked. This map has been used as the source of information for places that the author did not measure personally. These should be accurate in places with an open aspect, like passes, and in camps where a series of measurements has been taken, but may be inaccurate at times along the route, particularly in narrow valleys. Treat the figures as a guide, not as exact altitudes.

The names and spellings of some of the remoter places and features have been taken from these printed maps, although variant names and spellings do exist in many cases. The second index at the end of this guide contains all the significant Ladakhi place names used in this guidebook, including some of the more common variants.

How to get there

Unless you plan to see other places in India before your visit to Ladakh, Delhi will be the most likely starting point for your trip. The city has daily air connections with many major cities around the world.
