hello

can you tell me if you found good quality maps for this route. Of so where from. I'm having a bit of a nightmare finding them. I've been fruitlessly looking for a 'survey of india' building in Delhi

These are good maps:

Ladakh Zanskar - South
Ladakh Zanskar - Center

(North is not necessary for your route).

I don't know which is the best route for trekking. I suppose you can follow the road, but this might not be the most fun walking.
