  • BRO:IF YOU CAN DREAM THEN YOU CAN DO IT. Yaa We did LEH

    Thank you God for blessing us a safe, superb & unforgettable ride.

    I thank XBHP members for their support.

    It all started just like that but it was an amazing trip.

    Plan started from Tej(banglore) and I joined with him.
    Hearing our plan my friends 2 Karthi's joined with us and further Vikas from Delhi joined us from Manali. Vikas story is different because we never know him during the start of trip but half the way I met him in delhi yamaha service station and came to know that he was about to start his solo ride to Leh the very next day so atlast we combined our ride from manali.

    A short brief our trip:
    1) Tejesh from banglore with Karizma
    2) Merwin with Pillion Karthic from Pune in Yamaha R15
    3) Karthi from Pune with Pulsar 150cc
    4) Vikas from Delhi with Yamaha R15

    Day 1, Aug 22nd:
    Tej drove from banglore till pune & stayed with us.

    Day2, Aug 23rd:
    Tej, Merwin & 2 Karthi's started from pune & halted in Vadodra

    Day3, Aug 24th:
    Vadodra till udaipur

    Day4, Aug 25th:
    Udaipur till Gurgaon

    Day5, Aug26th:
    Stayed in Gurgaon to fix the bikes.

    Day6, Aug 27th:
    Gurgaon till manali

    Day7, Aug28th:
    Stayed in manali & in evening Vikas joined us.

    Day8, Aug 29th:
    Manali till Jispa

    Day9, Aug 30th:
    Jispa till Pang

    Day10, Aug31st:
    Pang till Leh

    Day11 & 12, Sep 1st & 2nd:
    Stayed in Leh

    Day13, Sep 3rd:
    Went 70 km towards Pongso Lake & returned because of heavy snow fall & later we found the pass is also closed

    Day14, Sep 4th:
    With no options we took a cab to see the beauty of Pongso Lake & returned to Leh

    Day15, Sep5th:
    Leh till Kargil

    Day16, Sep 6th:
    Kargil till Anantnag

    Day17, Sep7th:
    Anantnag till Jalandar

    Day18, Sep 8th:
    Jalandar till Gurgaon and we ended our trip due to shortage of leaves.

    We faced bad climate in LEH and due to that we did not visited K top, M top & Nubra valley.
    But no regrets because we loved the complete ride with full heart & we enjoyed.

    Detailed log with pics will start from tomorrow.

          aha..! good to know that you back with a wonderful safe journey & moments to treasure for your lifetime..
          Btw, I dont see you doing Khardungla. Any reason for not doing it.. As its an achievement of being on the Highest Motorable Road in the World..
          Anyways, Even am standing in the queue waiting for the pix

          Edit : I just saw the reason for not doing k-top.. yes, the weather can change drastically & good you didnt do it as Safety is the most important thing than any other achievement..

              Congratulations! Looking forward to the pics and detailed logs.
              All men dream, but not equally. Those that dream at night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act upon their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible. - T. E. Lawrence

                u guys finally did it! waiting for the log!
                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.
