Hi i am Arun from Coimbatore- Tamilnadu.
We were planning to getting Leh'd this July. Unfortunately it seems my fellow members unable to make it this time.

However am still eager to getting Leh'd. Our plan was to ride from Delhi to Leh from July 2nd Week. I am ready to join with any of you guys if our plans coincide. Thanks.
Pls PM me or mail me to [email protected]

Good wishes

I am glad to see more riders starting all the way from Home.

With just over 15 days to go, I want to thank everyone here for your tips, interest, advice and criticism. It all part of the show and xBhp has been great - No doubt. More people at my workplace today know xBhp exists.

Hi Guys,

One suggestion - avoid Srinagar. Go via Manali Route and come back via Manali route. One my two Leh trips had bad experiences in Srinagar. I still remember the stone pelting on my car and the dents keep the memories fresh. And the scared face of my young daugther. Locals suggesting don't go ahead - danger to life.

Although Srinagar is peacefull till May every year, but come Amarnath yatra in June some disturbances start which do result in Curfews and Stone Pelting.

Will catch up with you guys in Leh, end June, on FZ16 (white & blue HR 51 No.) this year. Going alone till now.

Here is mine.

This is the itinerary that I am going to follow, but it might change after I start riding. Might spend more time at one place, might add a new place.

Would love to meet fellow xbhp members on the road. Willing to help in any way possible.

How can you identify me on the road?
Orange KTM with WB plates.

I agree 100%

I got a few calls to share details of preparation and tips. I was happy to share and had a good conversation.

I also got requests to tag along. I just want to let the other riders know, I posted my plan only to let others know I am glad to help in anyway possible. I am unable to add any members to my group. This has nothing to do with what you ride, where you come from or your experience. Thanks for your understanding.

Can I join-in???

Hello members..

I am also planning to go leh but unfortunately my plans are not working out as I don't have a company for the trip.
I have contacted few groups and members personally but the response is either waiting or a disappointment..

If there is any group which I can join in or they have a scope to take one more buddy then I will be happy to ride leh...I will be riding from delhi...

waiting for reply else will be on a solo ride to get lehhed...
