some more tips :
if drivin in himalayas b/w oct-apr , protect urself properly against cold. this is how one shd dress up

-FOR UPPER BODY
start with a warm inner wear (the warm vest).wear a tshirt over it and a nice sweater over the t-shirt.cover up with a heavy leather jacket.if going b/w nov-feb , wear two sweaters. -for legs , first wear a warm inner (warm pyjama). wear a heavy jean over it.
-for feet
wear those army socks. i hv dese heavy big army socks.very useful.try wearin leather boots instead of sport shoes.
-for neck
cover it with a nice muffler.use the collar of the jacket to shield the neck too.
-for face
if ur helmet is a loose one , try wearnin a monkey cap.if the helmet is tight , try using a bit of muffler to cover up chin and lips.
-for hands
ntn less than good leather gloves wud do. try puttin those dirt-guard (the thing that dirt bikes have). these protect the hands from chilly winds at high speeds.

-also keep takin breaks every hour to help the warm blood circulate specially in legs and feet. keep movin ur feet/legs in b/w coz these r the parts which are in direct contact with the cold air.
