      Day 1 : Keylong - Leh (Doable, but this is a He-Man ride... and you miss out on all the beautiful stuff along this route)
      Not necessary a truck drivers kind of ride. Yes, you need to start early morning and if willing to reach Leh in dark, a long riding day. It can be done with plenty of breaks for photography as well. We just did that last year.

        Sir you are a veteran to the Himalayas. For most of these people its their first time, and the number of breaks for photography and other stuff would be quite a bit. Once you have been there a few time you would know how to adapt your riding style and also know where exactly you want to stop.

        Last year Sksy did Leh-Manali in one day! That was some He-Man ride...

          Stop pulling my leg.

          Yes, for first time you might want to experience staying in tent and all & ride at a bit more relaxed pace but other than that I don't think Keylong - Leh needs one to ride hard/fast just that you need to plan it well and can do it.

          You bet.
          But, I heard he took the shortcut from Rohtang top and converted his ZMA into a glider and came down in few min's vs hours.

          • Sarchu - Leh takes 9 hours. Keylong - Leh should take around 12.

            @Nav: Any updates on the Drass - Sankoo route. If you have any data at all, please send it across. I tried to dig up info but could not find any!

                And that planning will come only with time and experience. I think let them enjoy the vistas they encounter all the way from Manali till Leh in about 2-3 days. 2 Days should be fine, 3 if one wants extra leisure.

                Lucky people staying in Chd. Any openings in the IT field in that end of the world?

                The cost gets halved if one is living in the foothills already.

                    Bhaago ... Infy!

                    Nope, Infy has very limited opening in my area of work and that too the only option is Bhubaneshwar posting!

                    Are there other IT cos in Chd?

                      • This is a link for a 45 page pdf file I found somewhere on the net. It list all possible information about Leh ride. Both Manali & Srinagar routes. Must read for all planning on Leh trip this year.

                            I guess I missed it! Good, informative document. Although, Leh is not on my itinerary this year, but nonetheless.
