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.
