Did a 1500kms round circuit to the hills, a fast interstate dash, whatever it maybe, share your triplogs here. And do remember to attach some good photographs!

Riding in normal highways is much easier than riding on mountain passes and here you can skip something if you feel tiered... But when at Leh you cannot skip something... you have to ride back all the way. Yes, you have reserve days but still...
yeah, it is gonna be tiresome.. but our plan was to ride the whole way, even the way back if time permits.

Manali-Leh : open
May 21, 2009
News less than an hour ago quotes BRO engineer SK Doon :

“The crucial 475 km Manali-Leh highway reopened for the traffic this (Thursday) morning. All types of vehicles can now ply on the highway”

The official road marker , leh.nic.in , still shows the road as closed.

high road to..

Enjoy TouReRS.

guys, is there any way to ensure we get accommodation at Pang / Sarchu, Pangong Tso, Diskit/Hunder areas?

I believe they have very limited accommodation available and these places are like you cannot go anywhere else from there in dark.

One more thing, your dates are matching the RE Himalayan Odessey plan. I am sure you don't want to go along with that.

Tents would be up by early june, in sarchu and pang. You can find accomodation ranging from Rs 30 to RS 1500 a night depending on the camps.

At Pangong stay at the Lukung log huts next to the lake. For better accomodation move on to Spangmik which is 13 km from lukung or stay at the rest house in Tangste which is 30 km before Pangong.

Question
Guys I was planning of riding to Leh, all the way from Mumbai sometime in August. I wanted to know if this would be advisable as august would be monsoon time. I am planning of taking almost 20 days off from work...Visit places around Rajasthan, maybe visit Bhuj along the way. Am planning of loading the bike in a train from Delhi on my way back.. But I am really confused about the weather in August

You might get rain in the plains. Some in the hills. Only sporadically. Beyond Rohtang, you would not get "much" rain. Do not let this "little" rain get in your way to Leh!

Thanks Ken, appreciate the response. How easy/difficult is it to ride during rains?? I am a noob biker - just got myself my first bike (ZMA) and I have clocked only about 400 kms till date on a two-wheeler Would I have to be very careful while riding? How often is there a chance of slipping and sliding in rains? and what are the average speeds you can do during rains?

Its a little off-topic but would appreciate any responses...
