that was the thing which came to my mind sir the other day when saw the BRO signboard somewhere after ZojiLa..it said, "From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, India is One", and instantly it came my mind, "...and now at xBhp, twice it has been done"

Congratulations brother .... on going to the Mecca of Biking in perhaps the most beautiful and roughest terrains in the world...

YOu have graduated / come of age...n i envy you...

@ OF :- Sir ji... when i visited Amritsar and Wagah in March...

I saw the following just as one comes back towards India from the Wagah Border post .

India the World's Largest Democracy in the world Welcomes You.

I had similar sentiments as Shailay did, back then....

Shailay...congrats again mate on doing the entire India [ from Kashmir to Kanyakumari ]

Thanks Saaki....

@UVW abhishek I didnt face any problem with the Avenger. I have 180 and it performed nicely. Just be gentle while off-roading, you migth hurt the front suspension, as may happen to any motorcycle I believe. The grip provided by the rear came in handy at certain icey and muddy places...Power loss was but of course an issue at heights but otherwise everything was normal.

@abhishek I just carried Cramster saddlebags.bike was acc free otherwise. Of course spares were there

DAY 6 - KAZA TO KEYLONG - 150 KMS
DAY 7 - KEYLONG TO SARCHU
DAY 8 - SARCHU TO LEH
1) Is this route good ? or better than manali-keylong ?
2) What is the exact distance between NARKANDA-KEYLONG ?
3) How is this route and how long it will take ideally ?

I remeber reading Hitanshu.. we should take this route for Kickass riding

Yes, there is lot of snow, whenever you go, you shall find the snow cliffs. Infact I felt there was maximum snow at Baralacha La Pass.

If I remember correctly...Narkanda to Sarahan is not 45 kms.
the route is Narkanda-Rampur-Jeori-Sarahan.
Narkanda to Rampur is 60kms(aprox)
Rampur to Jeori is 12-15 kms(aprox again)
Jeori to Sarahan is 17 kms(exactly)

why do u wish to detour and go to Sarahan..???


Sarahan to Chitkul??? are u sure that,s just 60kms??? anyways, that again is a Detour??? u sure u want to go off the track too much?
