Edit: Remembered one more thing - shipping the bikes till Chandigarh also cuts down another 5 hours of riding the first day. So the plan tentatively becomes CHD - manali - Sarchu / Pang - Leh - K Top - Nubra - K Top - Leh - Pangong - Leh - Sarchu / Pang - Manali - Delhi. Comfortably done in around 2 - 2.5 weeks.

Actually just cutting down the time is not a priority, as we may not visit the place as a couple for some time soon. I read the tours start from manali and end at shrinagar. Any idea about such route?

Tentative month is August 2010

1. Which bike you are going to ride
2. Will you both drive?
3. What all things you plan to carry?
4. What special precautions or planning is done to ensure that she is comfortable in back breaking rides.
5. How you plan to package things?
6. Finally your route.

Thanks, keep updating. I will keep tracking

Viny

1.I ride GS150R.
2. So far, only I ride, but I hope to teach her riding soon. She rides a scooter.
3. This will be a seperate post! Main things are spares, light weight clothes and thermalwears.
4. None yet, but this is a good point. We may get some back support belt for both of us, as the rides aren't smooth.
5. Sorry didn't get this question.
6. This is being discussed in this thread!

abhiwar, there are many groups who will be doing such rides. So you can either join them, or you can time your departure so that you arrive there the same time we are.

@animeher: Given that you would have pillion, there wont be enough space to mount your belongings, and obviously having lady rider means extra stuff to package arround. So was wondering how do you plan to package your luggage and mount on your bike.

animeher · 02-10-2010, 03:11 PM

If you check my Rajasthan ride travelouge, we have a tankbag + saddlebag + one bagpack, which we feel is enough for 2 riders. Otherwise, there is always an option to carry luggage and keep it at some base where we would return after a long trip (like Leh in this case).
