guys, when I did leh trip last year, it was me and my good friend on two 150s. (pulsar 150and cbz xtreme) and believe me, we had almost everything under the sun. I mean, you name it and we had it. Luckily or unluckily, we dint had to use almost 90% of the extra baggage that we were carrying but I believe in better safe than sorry policy.
anyways, I would not post a very comprehensive MUST HAVE list, rather, I would like to say that

Keep your bike as near to stock. any much of the modification may give way on rougher terrains.
carry anything that you think you might need in case of emergency. though these days the route to Leh although is not crowded but most of the times, help is just a few hands away.
need not carry too many clothes, as you would not like to Freeze your @$$ and bones (after or before a Hectic Ride) with a bone chilling freezing water for bathing. ( I remember I had a tough time washing my @$$ with the freezing water after Morning Call.) heheheheheheheheh
carry some warm essentials, a small but good medical kit, basic control cables, puncture repair kit, good riding Gear and above all...... keep your Head on your shoulder.( you might be an ace City rider cutting corners and zipping past a Ferrari, but in Hills on the way to Leh...keep your cool) dont be rude to anyone...and you will see people going out of their way to help you, should you ever need it. I remember giving away Petrol to one Gora for free when he was giving me money for it.
know your riding limits, but dont try to stretch yourself more than your @$$ can take a load of!!!

The ground Rule is...you are on a Ride of a lifetime, enjoy your ride...and dont be a p@!n in your or somebody Else's @$$!

happy riding.

very true. Leh is just another place to go if your bike is in the best of her health. I remember it well that we did not use any of the tools apart from the basic for adjusting the drive chain.

I see no mention of diamox here - helps with altitude sickness. Also, have lots and lots of water

groupbhp · 04-24-2009, 02:43 PM

Yes the very important Diomax : i remember from the Bike India article on Leh done by Bunny last year - also even he rode a very stock bike that too with stock MRF tyres. I guess Leh is over hyped by a few people. Just make up your mind, make sure u have the essential and roll on : my 2 cents

Yeah remember to take it 24hours before climbing the altitude.
Though it isn't feasible but the water should be luke warm (as suggested by the army doctor in Pang).

It is very different than riding anywhere else in world and thats what makes it tougher to ride.
You can do an off-road trip anywhere in India but in himalayas with such an altitude, lack of oxygen; you and your bike gasping for air, almost no roads in some parts, it will be a different experience.
