    I doubt a lot can be done on 9 days!
    If you ride like Sksy, a LOT can be done in 9 days!!!
    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

        Gee! Not me! I ride like me!
        I would love to lazily plan a 90 day trip there than doing a 9 day mad rush!

          I have had the honor of riding with him. Great rider indeed. We also did Spiti in 5 days (some guys incl him in six) flat when in fact the first day we reached only Simla. It was all touch and go though.

          9 days Leh. Hmm...Let us see...

            I know 9 days is too less.. But none of us can get vacations for anythin more than that... will keep this in mind, when we start our planning.

            I would start asking for lot more help from experts here, once our trip gets confirmed.

                      If you starting from Delhi, and plan to do just K-top, 10 days is more than enough. You ride a Gladiator?
                      As for Bhanana - I believe in saying the truth. But then totally depends on your manager. Would you rather get leave with difficulty but do it truthfully or get leaves easily with a lie (family emergency etc) and then run the risk of getting caught?

                          why not stay at Pangong Tso?

                          Day 7 might be tough. Leh -Srinagar is difficult in one day. How long you plan to ride in a single day?

                            I am not sure. But all my riding partners are pretty sure, they say jus 350KM's and can be easily done. Im havin a backup plan of halting at sonamarg alternatively and starting early, if its not possible.

                            Any other comments?

                                we'll I wanted to say is, you would hardly get time at Pangong Tso with current Itineary. But yes, if you do start from Pangong Tso, Srinagar would almost be impossible unless you are a endurance rider like no one else. You could stay at Kargil or a place before that if you start from Pangong Tso. Even if you start from Leh, be prepared for some hard and endurance riding to reach Srinagar in a single day and Sonmarg ain;t very far from Srinagar so by staying there, you are not saving yourself lots of energy.
