            Preface:

            I started writing the blog after 6 months of ride... When the plan started about 1 year before the ride, I dreamed of writing a blog which will be a everything for next rider who wants to do leh-ladakh... then it's not easy to make all dreams come true :-D started writing a blog with my fellow rider, unfortunately couldn't complete whole story... laziness wins over active-ness easily!!! Now it was time to put down the most amazing ride for an Indian rider in writing...

            I started writing this post by looking into the photos taken during the trip which started with my friends coming from Bengaluru to catch train from Pune to Jammu Tavi... This will purely contain what I felt in the while journey...
            I bought a TVS Apache RTR 160 in 2008 when I was in my mid-graduation... My college was fairly far-away by around 18kms from home... Everyday riding was nearly 40kms being enough to learn riding or may be to lose interest also..!! I never lost interest though rather started dreaming of riding long distances and there came this obvious dream in me too:-D

            This is a ride which costs a lot of Mind and Money(2 M's). It was after an year when I met with Chetan who had similar thoughts about riding like me, started to mingle and finally the plan was charted... Chethan(RTR 160) came along with his 2 closest friends/colleagues Shushruth(R15) and Puneeth(CBR250) who were also very wanting to visit these places on bike...!!

            Fantastic 4 are ready with their bikes... I personally feel 4 is optimum number of people during for a trip... Of course like minded will be an added advantage.... ^_^



            Plan :

            Plan is simple.... 3 in Bengaluru & 1 in Pune meet in Pune, catch Jhelum express to Jammu on 23rd June and start the yatra... Btw bikes will be transported via some logistics in prior so that it reaches the location early and we can start off as per plan...

            With some ups and downs we reach Jammu a day late and collect our bikes from GATI logistics without much trouble....(happy with their service)




            Itenary :




            Day 0 : Bengaluru to Pune[FONT='Trebuchet MS', sans-serif](Chethan, Puneeth, Shushruth)
