Route
from Leh to Pádum,
see No. 166.

Route No. 123.

From Leh (Ladák) to △ Sássar (Nûbes).

There are two different routes: the one across
the Laóche and the Sássar passes, practicable in
summer only; the other by Dígar and up the Shayók
valley, generally used in winter. In summer the
latter route is impracticable owing to the impossi-
bility of crossing the then much swollen Shayók
river. Even in winter the Shayók river has to be
repeatedly crossed, an operation involving much
time and invariably attended with difficulties.

Leh to △ Sássar, by the Laóche and the Sássar
passes, see Routes Nos. 121(a) and 64.

B.
Leh to △ Sássar, by Dígar.
