Really Really helpful data you've put in here. I thank you for it.
I am planning to do visit Zanskar this August/Sept on my motorbike. I wish to know the following:
1) Where does it start? How many kms from Drass on Drass-Kargil Road?
2) Where does it end?
3) Any idea on its current conditions as I've got a bad review of this route be a friend who visited Zanskar last year in his SUV?
4) How many kms are saved by bypassing Kargil?
5) Most importantly, people going to Zanskar have to register at Kargil, So if I take your route both the time where do I register? Or is it mandatory to take Kargil Route while going?
Please help.
If possible send the reply to prashamk (at) gmail (dot) com.

1. Starts from Drass town; we came from the other side so do not know the exact place, ask around 2. Sankoo 3. No idea, this is from 2007 4. Maybe 30-40kms, but you need to have extra fuel to bypass Kargil 5. AFAIK, there are checkpoints on the way where you have to enter your details; there is no registration a such

Drass does not have a petrol bunk. When we left Kargil, we carried ~45 ltrs extra fuel for two bullets with full tanks. AFAIR, there was a petrol bunk near Sonamarg; but to be on the safe side, fill extra fuel wherever you can, you can keep topping it up. Rest of the trip logs are in hibernation, someday...
