Route No. 123.

From LEH (Ladâk) to 0 SAssAR (Nûbra).

There are two different routes: the one across the Laôche and the Sâssar passes, practicable in summer only; the other by Digar and up the Shayôk valley, generally used in winter. In summer the latter route is impracticable owing to the impossibility of crossing the then much swollen Shayôk river. Even in winter the Shayôk river has to be repeatedly crossed, an "operation involving much time and invariably attended with difficulties.
