      • one thing which we used to do for snow treks was a home remedy sorta thing for the shoes.

        take a normal candle & rub it on the surface of the shoe completely.leave it in the sun.the wax melts & forms a protective cover.

        do this 3-4 times & the shoes are more waterproof now.


        ps:don't take the meaning of candle & rubbing otherwise.This advice is for paaji members ;-)

          • we stayed in a hotel during the same time at leh which was for 250 bucks near shanti stupa.. it was more of a farm house and was beautiful
            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.

            • One small tip from my side. You can use Yatra.com for a single night stay booking at budget hotels, getting your hotel cost down to 200-250rs night.

              Exclusive Discounts for Kotak Bank Customers

              But do read the rules, no multiple bookings of consecutive nights allowed! I am sure you are creative enough....

              • 250 bucks for a room or person? What was the name of the hotel?

                There are several seasonal hotels in Leh. It is basically a home where the owner stays with a couple of rooms attached.

                @anihemer - Thanks. will check the link. The hotels are costing above 1500 / night. Even after the discounts, it is out of the group's budget.

                        • Hey rachit, just searched your blog and found -

                          After searching for some places we started heading to the inner parts of the town & found a guest house "Goba Guest House". It was a really beautiful place having an authentic Ladakh architecture. We got two rooms as we had to stay for 3-4 days here. It was darn cheap, we got two rooms for total of just Rs. 500 for one night.

                          Thanks.

                          After some serious independent research (called google the name), the details - http://leh.nic.in/WHERE%20TO%20STAY.htm

                          GOBA
                          Pro. Sh. Tashi Namgyal - 7 double rooms, 2 single rooms

                          Search from BSNL site-

                          3 LEH SH TASHI NAMGYAL 252657 CHANSPA, AL, NOCHUNG



                          Looks good.
