    • we stayed at pang.. u get tents there for 30 bucks per person.. decent tents tough!

      in leh we stayed near sanchi stupa.. goba guest house.. 250 bucks for a room.. decent one but u get only veg food there! many good hotels are there nearby!
      A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

      Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

        • they have all blankets and stuff there.. but sleeping bags will help since its just a tent.. to be on the safer side get one.. it can get very cold! you can also use it as a back rest cushion while riding

          do you guys have an itinerary posted?

            we r planning from shimla to leh...as we will be riding 2 on 1...i dnt think it wud b possible for a sleeping bag for each 1... earlier we had planned a stay at keylong... but then thot to ask abt the tents... i think we'd b managing with the blankets n our jackets alone if decision goes for the tents!!!

              1) Pangong to LEH via chulsul. Please provide the exact route. Also there is a pass which we need to mention to get permits in this route. what is that pass name

              2) Permits required for these place. Is there anything else to be mentioned ?
              Pangong Tso
              Marsimik La
              Khardung La
              Nubra Valley-Deskit, Hunder

              3)HUnder to Leh there is a alternate route. Which one is that and the distance please.

              4) In Leh-Srinagar route which is the best place to stay over night ?
              Kargil or Drass ?

              5) Point to point route from SRINAGAR to Delhi

                  I believe its difficult to get the permits on holidays, maybe some travel agents can help there.

                    Pretty nice place..


                    We stayed here.

                        • Hey Ashwin, I too forgot that pass name. I think the place was Parma that you need to mention in the permits for that route.

                          For Marsmikla I think the name of the village was Pobhrang

                              Mention the village name too. Because the guys emphasize on the via route too.
                              Which is what happened to us when we were not allowed to pass through chushul for Hanle because we didn't mention the via route places properly. And there is no way they'll let you pass if it isn't not mentioned in the permits.

                              Might be of some help

                                5) Point to point route from SRINAGAR to Delhi

                                For permits, you can walk in directly to the DC's office which opens up at 10 am and they will assist you with all the relavent information. Closed on sunday's and public holidays ...

                                Chusul, you may go from a place 30 kms before pangong called tangste. or via pangong - spangmik - chusul.

                                The road to Phobrang is a bifurcation towards the left of the lake. From phobrang, is a steep ascent to marsimik la.

                                Hunder to leh you may return via Shakti village - wari la - karu - leh.
                                Longer and bad roads ..

                                As mentioned above, Drass would be a more scenic option, but kargil would be more viable (more availability of accomo).

                                Srinagar - Anantnag - Jawahar Tunnel - Banihal - Patnitop - Udhampur - Jammu - Pathankot - Jalandhar - Ambala - Delhi ...
