Thanks for the Info. Some of my friends visited LEH last week of June. Snow was still there. Hope there is some snow let out this month also

Is there a route to Narkanda to Manali through Jalori. I think that was the one Hitanshu was mentioning. Whats the speciality of that route ?

I did this route last week. Narkanda to Jalori is approximately 90 km. Currently its dry but very beautiful and not a soul in sight except for the occasional mahindra. The descent from Jalori is crazy ( i was with my wife in pillion) but after that the valley is very beautiful with a little river running along the road
Through Aut the road finally joins at the entrance of the Kullu tunnel.

they have all blankets and stuff there.. but sleeping bags will help since its just a tent.. to be on the safer side get one.. it can get very cold! you can also use it as a back rest cushion while riding

do you guys have an itinerary posted?

we r planning from shimla to leh...as we will be riding 2 on 1...i dnt think it wud b possible for a sleeping bag for each 1... earlier we had planned a stay at keylong... but then thot to ask abt the tents... i think we'd b managing with the blankets n our jackets alone if decision goes for the tents!!!
