  • Chronicles Of A Lone Biker: The Northern Chapter

    Hey!,

    Well its been a while since I've posted here as professional and personal responsibilities kept me occupied big time. I recently traded off my RE 2011 C5 for a Pulsar 200 NS due to misc. reasons and now I'm planning the Ladakh ride starting 1st June this year. I have made a "blue print" of the itinerary and need advise from all the experienced and expats over the same. For the short bit, I would have max 14 days on disposal (+1 buffer day) from Delhi-Leh-Delhi trip. The plan is as follows:

    Day 1: Delhi-Manali/Vashisht

    Day 2: Manali and around. Servicing the bike and preparing for the big advnture

    Day 3: Manali-Jispa

    Day 4: Jispa-Leh

    Day 5: Leh and around, bike check up and permits

    Day 6: Leh-Turtuk (night stay at Turtuk)

    Day 7: Turtuk-Pangong-Spangmik (via Nubra-Khalsar-Agham-WariLa-Shakti-Changla-Taqngtse); night stay at Spangmik

    Day 8: Spangmik-Chushul-Mahe-Tso Moriri (Night stay at Tso Moriri)

    Day 9: Tso Moriri-Tso Kisgar-Sumdo-Tso Kar-Debring-Upshi-Leh

    Day 10: Rest day at Leh

    Day 11: Leh-Hanu-Dah-Kargil

    Day 12: Kargil-Srinagar

    Day 13: Srinagar and around

    Day 14: Srinagar-Jammu

    Day 15: Jammu-Delhi


    I hope the plan is not over ambitious either for the rider or the bike. If yes, suggestions, comments, rebukes and abuses are more than welcome

    Info on the accommodation part is needed in the far off areas of Turtuk, Tso Moriri and Spangmik.

    Also, if someone can shed some light over the road condition and availability of fuel in the above areas.

    Permits: If someone can jot down as to what all places need to be mentioned while getting the permits, it would be a great help.


    Day 3&4 are a bit of a concern for me as the the road might get blocked. Will I be better off to split Manali-Leh into 3 days?


    Waiting for comments and suggestions!
