Passports checked at Darcha post. Stop at Sarai valley with a small lake to the left of the road. A very good spot for rest before lunch. Arrive at Patseo via Darcha village. Night halt in inn. Reach Zingzingbar, then Mane Bar.
Day 3: Campsite- Baralacha-La-Sarchu
Reach lake Suraj Tal, finally you are on a pasture and the Baralacha-La cairn. There are two passes on Baralacha-la; to the right of the east pass is Suruf lake and if weather permits, 5000-6000 m peaks are visible. Sarchu bridge is a good campsite for overnight stay.
Day 4: Sarchu Bridge/Campsite-Lingti Ground
This is the easy part: you walk along the river bed and pass through pastures. As the valley widens, a few shepherds huts on the left can be seen. There is sand all around. Continue, and after crossing 2 canyons, camp near the spring.
Day 5: Lingti Ground- Khamerup- Phirtse-La
Today cross four canyons and after 2-3 hours cross a broad river and climb to a plateau till you reach a river, which comes from Chumickmarpho (4650M). About one hour's trek from Shepherds' huts, continue upstream, on left bank. The base camp for Phirtse-la is close by.
Day 6: Campsite- Phirtse-La
Phirtse-la (the highest pass on the whole trek) is reached in 4 hours. Follow path to the river. Another 2 hours of trek, reach campsite for night halt, around 100 m above the river with beautiful landscape. You are on the western slope.
Day 7: Campsite- Tanza
Breathtaking view of Zanskar valley in front. By passing behind a rocky bridge follow steep gorge, cross a stream. Arrive in Tanza, the meeting point of Route 2 (via Shingo-la). Tanza is a small village with a gompa in ruins.
Day 8: Tanza- Purne

Day 9: Purne-Phuktal Gompa- Purne
From Purne, reach the Phuktal monastery. The monastery is like a honeycomb, cut into a rock under a gignantic grotto. The library, prayer rooms, kitchens, abbot's chamber, chorten and the grave of Gangsem Sherap Sampo, who founded Phuktal, Likir and Ringdom gompas, are all worth-seeing.
Day 10: Purne-Ichar
