This
trail passing from Boktal Pass, sometimes referred to as the
Lonvilad Gali, has been the most popular back-door route for
the pilgrims and armies crossing into Ladakh. A spellbinding
divide between two of the word's most formidable mountain
ranges, the Suru Valley winds south from Kargil to the
desolate Pensi La - the main entry point to Zanskar region.
