Thats quite a trip !!
You have covered almost all parts of leh in one go.
Waiting for the log.

Also, would need some info on the Spangmik- Hanle route. Doable with pillion ?

Hyperion

Oooookkkkk,when did this spring up

Spangmik-Chushul (50 kms) : Road is decent (but kachcha)but littered with sand.

Chushul-Chagga (40 kms) : Road is again kachcha but without much sand.

Chagga-Hanle (90 kms): Glorious Tarmac.

In short, doable with pillion.
