    Do keep us updated here, those of you who are going. And hurry up, as they have limited entry, and you have to first fill up a form for 500Rs, and then if selected, submit rest 9000rs. I have a personal experience of YHA Mumbai, which has been very good.

        Grrr... Interesting to some. But like Praful said, I wouldn't want to be in such a place when its infested. The whole purpose it defeated.

        EDIT:

        Just got this from the PDF...

        Duration: 17 days. Participants will report at Base Camp, International Youth Hostel, New Delhi on 24th August 2009. After
        expedition, they will leave from New Delhi on 09th September 2009.

          @animeher-Thanks for posting.

          @All-This is indeed a great oppurtunity and the price is too good.A 15 day trip to Leh will roughly cost 30k.You are straightaway saving 15K(5k for sending and getting the bike from Delhi).Also one is saving and lot of time in planning & other stuff.

            MG agreed money is being saved a and lot that too. Saving 15K is big thing, atleast for me it is. But then on the other hand I see 100 people doing it together. It just kindda takes out the zing of doing Leh, don't you think?

            How will they manage 100 bikers? What will be the group dynamics?

            Well this is just IMO, riding with 100 people may someone's cup of tea, but its a difficult thing for me to do. Esp in the Hills, if it was the GQ hell why not....but in the hills!

                  Thanks for the news Animeher. it would be a wonderful oppurtunity for a lot of newbies to go to Leh. as for the cost factor...am not very sure if 9,500.00 is a decent enough money, because when I ride...my expenses drill down to the basic fuel cost, a Pack of Cigarette( I dont promote SMOKING!) and a one time decent meal...so it may sound a bit too much for me. Secondly, it again would mean that you would have a whole lot of people going to a relatively unhabited place together, though I understand that all 100 of them would not be riding in one single Line!

                  It may be a wonderful chance for someone who like to have the adventure with a sense of safety and comfort, for some it might be like Enjoying a snowfall on a filmscreen( You can see the snow falling but cant feel the chillof it). I for sure would make sure that if am doing a Delhi-Leh-delhi again this year, I should not be bumping into them, not that am a super class biker...I would just be left with almost no place to sleep at Night as most of it would be occupied by thye Group.
                  Cheers

                  P.S: Imran...... I am thinking hard on that Proposal, lets see if it materialises!

                    100 people! .. It would be a terrible morning at sarchu

                    9500 is pretty decent though ...

                        Why the stupid clause of registered after 2006??????

                        more than 2 years old,does that make a bike unfit to be ridden to Leh-

                          I might Join this.. '9500' Rupees seem very attractive..

                          The R E Himalayan Odyssey will cost 18500 + Petrol + Food.

                          After all, I would save more than 15000 rupees over all!
