    Vishwas, we will meet shortly, since now a day, I am occupied with tanning and other office work.

      It can be Pang, but that is not 260 but ~300 kms from manali.
      It's in J&K state, as per google map, it is 261 KM from Manali.

        One more thing - noticed you guys are doing 620 km the last day (Jammu - Delhi). If you are short of time, suggest you return via manali instead of Kargil / Srinagar.

            Google maps are crap. Even if there is such a place, it wouldnt have stating options. The closest I can resemble with that name is Pang.

              the Plan looks OK. Am just concern if Manali to Leh can be done within two days. Normally we or others have taken two stops after manali & then third being Leh.
              For us it was : Manali - Darcha(1st Night:150kms) - Pang (2nd Night:110kms) - Leh (270kms)
              Its very very difficult to cover even 150kms in a day in the weather of June & terrain. Its doable, but dont stress to much. Keep it flexible & try to roll as the situation occurs.

                If you stick to the schedule, Manali-Leh can easily be done in 2 days. I did it. First halt Sarchu and then Leh. Sarchu - Leh shouldnt take more than 9 hours.

                  Yes, it can be done. I think we rode from Mumbai, so we didnt rushed..!!
                  All the best..

                    don't trust google maps for leh region, use openstreetmaps. As others have already told the place to say from Leh to Manali is Pang, Sarchu or Bharathpur.

                          Steve, The plan looks cool. I still want to ride out by 5/6th June - We will take a call by March/ April - I will take care of Flight Bookings, Postponing the Flight by a week will not have a big difference i guess, but lets see..

                          Day 1 to 4 is perfect, even in case we get stuck , worst case we should reach LEH by Day 5 afternoon and take care of Permits, etc

                          Day 6: We should get Petrol (in Black) in Diskit, near Hunder - Not sure of QUALITY OF PETROL

                          Day 7: Its going to be a Tough ask. Nubra - Khalsar - tangyar - WARI _ LA - Shakti - CHANG_ LA - Tanste - Pangong Tso should ideally take the whole day

                          Not sure where we get to tank up other than Diskit. May be at Karu near Sakthi.

                          Is There a short cut from TANGYAR to Tsolak? Wish there was one, I'm not sure if my OFF-Roading capabilities are good enough to make a trail!

                          Day 8: Should be easy if we start the descent soon from M'la

                          Day 9 : We will keep it as a BUFFER DAY!

                          Day 10: We will goto Drass instead of KARGIL

                          Day 11: Drass - Srinagar - Gulmarg it is!

                          Day 12 - 15: Its all Buffer Days - Even if things go wrong, We will take a flight from Srinagar to Delhi and Catch the evening Flight on Day 16!
