Topic Renamed, Moved, Stuck and Approved.

I have moved this thread into the Universal Thread section and have made it sticky. I have seen in the recent past that there are many who are planning a Leh/ Ladakh trip this year (2010), and opening a new thread each time not only becomes monotonous but it's also very confusing searching for the right information.

Looking into this, I have made this thread as a one-stop thread for all the Leh/Ladakh/Spiti trip for the year 2010. Please use this thread and this thread alone for searching for any rider buddies, or discussing anything and everything regarding the Leh/Ladakh/Spiti trip for the year 2010.

Thanks,

Biru, as per your plan, you would require permissions for Khardung La/Nubra, checked at South Pallu enroute and Pangong Tso, checked at karu and Tangste. The DC office opens at 10 am. Go there personally and collect the permit template. Fill it in with all the places you intend to visit and get it signed by the DC. You would have the permits by 12 Pm. Now take copies of these permits (as you would have to submit a permit at check points) and carry on with your journey.

You may need permissions for the places listed by kurtrules. Just in case if you want it without hassle, you can get the permits from any travels & tourism. They charge you hardly extra.

2) Doing some cost estimation.So please help me with your advices.

Delhi : Rs 1500
Shimla : Rs. 600-700
Rohtang Pass : (Why you have to stay at Rohtang. But I dont think it will be even more than 500-600)
Darcha : (Staying in tents. Rs50-100 per bad)
Pang : (Same as above)
Leh : (Rs. 500-700)
Hunder
Pangong Tso : (Rs. 100-150)
Kargil : (Rs. 500-700)
Srinagar : (Rs. 500-700)
Pathankot

Thanks in advance

I have answered, what I could in a different colour.
The expense would be very well affordable if you are in group. And a group of 4, just makes it superb for sharing & coordinating. Being in a group on this mammoth ride, mutual understanding, tuning is very important for a peaceful & safe ride.

hi guys,
me and my frens(total 5) are planning to get lehed this june. ne comments on my tentative schedule is really welcome. btw we are 2 T-bird, one R15 and one P150 with a pillion warming the backseat of all the bikes. we r starting from jammu side. hope its feasible at that time of the year...
schedule:

JUNE = MRC, MBC, BikingSpirit, XBHP & many others are riding to Leh... Possibly I might drop in

@Biru: I just might join in at the last moment

August middle/September 1st week (yet to firm up) - I shall be riding to Leh. Except one minor problem.





























I will be on a "cycle" :-)

So if there are any cyclists from xbhp going to leh in that timeframe - hit me up.
/Folks - how many cycling to leh travelogues do we have?

No-one wants to go to Leh in July..!?
