All objects and landmarks are labeled in Cyrillic script that creates a certain difficulty. The most detailed are represented by 1:200,000 (1 cm to 2 km) and 1:100,000 (1 cm to 1 km) scale maps. Given the technology of the time, they are incredibly accurate. Soviet Genshtab maps were created in the late 1970s. The road type, distances and location of the fuel stations are indicated.ДҐ. These maps are useful for planning a trip on a bike, a motorbike, or a car. These maps are quite informative but should not be used as a trekking guide because they provide a schematic representation of trekking routes. Here are the two scan versions of the 1st edition (2000) map, which can be found online.

The map is available in Leh bookstores and rather cheap. Also, the map has the most accurate place names as it is produced by the Ladakhis. In particular, the trail is marked on the correct side of the stream for most places, and bridges are shown where they really exist'. As noted by Radek Kucharski in his book 'Trekking in Ladakh' (2012), Sonam Tsetan's map 'is accurate regarding the location of roads, trails, villages, rivers and bridges. However, it is a very popular overview map. It has neither elevation contour lines nor shaded relief. The map created by Sonam Tsetan (Leh) is schematic and quite basic in scale (approx 1:500,000).
