    • Kurt, Dcs, Aryan, Ananz... can you help?

      @Vishwas: Will go through the plan again in details with another friend sometime this weekend... hoping the leh pro's get to see this


      @Spidey, Inder, Can you modify the plan to accomodate a night halt @ Delhi (for Inder+2 to catch up)
      So we dont really need a day @ Manali as per plan (which I am sure we will still do considering we have a buffer day and now no worries of the permit)

      • @Satyen: I haven't been to Leh yet, so, I cannot really help minutely. Perhaps, Kurt, dcs and B2L would be the apt people to look at that itinerary and reply. Looks good to me, though.

        If you want any information about Spiti, then I can try and help!
        :)

          I'll be publishing the whole plan once again with some of info(night halts included) again in some time by afternoon. That should help.

            Mr. Afzal has recommended night stay at Diskit. It is 6 km before Hunder and bigger town having hotels and tents both. He will book accommodation for us.
            The options to stay in Hunder Vs Diskit are more or less the same!

            Accommodation on lake side is extremely expensive. My friend takes his group @7 am from Leh and returns around 6 pm after spending 3 hours at lake. However, I do not know whether this is feasible on a bike.
            I think 300-400 bux does not fall in the expensive category.

            This is where we stayed for 300 bux a night.

            I would recommend you stay in Lukung itself. No need to go all the way till Spangmik.

            My friend will be in drass in the first week of June so will book hotel for us.
            Stay at the JKTDC place in Drass. Its cheap and very very good compared to the other options in that area.

            This what the JKTDC place looks like...

            There are a lot of options right besides Dal lake incase you for some reason do not get Shikaras. And they are very cheap.

            EDIT:

            Sarchu is HP border and is costly. He has suggested staying in Pang. It is a bigger town and cheaper. Only tent/hut accommodation but 25-30 huts are there.
            Do *not* stay in Pang. Stay in Sarchu. The altitude in Pang will have the AMS prone dudes puking all night.

            EDIT 2:

            NOTE:
            Please keep this in mind throughout your trip, just say this as it tends to happen in large groups of bikers. Try and respect the locals, the environment and the Indian Army throughout this trip. Please this is a request. You are a guest in that land and keep that in mind always.

                • @Vishwas: Superb info & arrangements. I'd suggest we stay at pangong Tso lake side. Of what I'v heard, the Sunrise there is unlike anywhere...

                  @Praful: Exactly what we needed, thx man.

                  Satyen I dint get you, we already have one stay at Delhi. Inder+2 can catch us in Delhi or in Manali, if we plan to stay there for a day rather than in Delhi
