  • @Vishwas: I very well know how to repair the puncture on a TL tyre, it's easy.

    Btw, Since Satyen is out of this ride.. Me and Alankar are gonna re-schedule the departure time and halts after discussing with Razor/Spidy this weekend.

    @Spy-D: please divide the group since u have ridden with all of us.

    • As per the conversation which all...the daily budget has been decided in 2 parts..

      1) 250-300 rupees
      2) 500-1000 rupees

      pls, confirm whether everyone agrees to it. on the basis of this the hotel booking needs to be made(ofcourse at some selected places only).

      Also, in addition to what Vishwas told/added..everyone pls. remember to gather ALL the items before leaving for the trip.

          • 1 more important point to be considered

            Currently the road from Manali-Leh is not open ...LINK..!! We need to devise an alternate route too..BUT BUT..this would be problem for the guys who are coming by train..as the train starts from Jammu.

            So, in this case the route would be Delhi-Punjab-Jammu-Srinagar-Leh-Khardung-La .. and return via this route..this is just FYI.. Google Map link ..

            @ Kurt: Can you pls. shed some more information on the above point..!!

              Those 2 parts are bcoz some ppl would not prefer to stay in those 250-300 rupees rooms..!! Basically, it means that they require comfortable bed and proper toilet facilities..

                As expected I wouldn't mind staying in 300 room. Am anyways on a tight budget over that My Bike's silencer is totally screwed up and gotta change it before the ride(there goes 7k from the overall budget).

                  Further update on the same link by couple of members:
                  Hi Guys, Good news here....!!!
                  I just checked with my contacts in BRO and as per them, Manali-Leh road was cleared yesterday and same should have been opened today.
                  Only caution here is that the weather is still unpridictable and any rain in lower reaches will result in snow on passes, specially BaralachaLa and TanglangLa. And a long spell (6-18 hrs) bad weather can result in closure of road again.
                  Just check the weather before you leave.
                  and then..
                  The BARALACHA IS YET TO BE OPENED which i was confirm by Khoksar police before 30 mins, he saying it take next 4-5 days to clear the Baralacha pass for Vehicles.

                      Motor, in case there is a discrepancy in budgets and some wud prefer better facilities, I'll join you and give you company wherever you chose to stay. Having said that, I guess since one person wud be doing the hotel bookings (Rudra), I think it would be inconvenient for him to book places at two different budgets. Consequently it would make sense for him to NOT book any places for us in the budget and we will have to find accomodation for ourselves when we get there. Does this make sense to everyone? I'm not trying to create a split here, simply trying to accomodate both budget needs.

                        Hi Inder,

                        In such a case I would suggest you folks to go via the Srinagar. You can follow the itinerary given below:

                        Day 1: Delhi - Ambala - Ludhiana - Pathankot
                        Day 2: Pathankot - Kathua - Samba - Udhampur - Batote - Patnitop - Ramban - Jawahar Tunnel - Srinagar
                        Day 3: Srinagar - Sonamarg - Drass - Kargil - Lamayuru
                        Day 4: Lamayuru - Leh (Leave early and you can be in Leh in 3 hours and get the permits on the same day)

                        And then visit the places you have planned. Now plan the return via Leh - Manali. This way there are high chances that he Leh - Manali highway would be open!

                        Baralacha La is still closed and I believe shall be closed for a week further (or even more). So taking risks would not be advised, considering that you guys would be riding in from Mumbai and around, and would not want to be left stranded!

                        EDIT: A slight change. On day one in the above mentioned itenerary, I would suggest you take the Ambala - Chd - Ropar - Balachaur - Hoshiarpur - Pathankot instead of the Ambala - Ludhiana - Jalandhar - Pathankot as I have recently heard that there is road widening going on, on the NH-1 beyond Ambala as well. The above mentioned route is fantastic till 70 kms before Pathankot. Thereon too, road widening is going on.

                          In this case I am considering myself as the incharge for Budget hotels, am good at finding 'em
                          Me, Motor, Alankar so far had agreed to stay & make it a budget ride.
                          Dont worry, I prefer VFM places with goof view

                          Sorry bro, no ones ready to take you in the group for the obvious reasons
                          You can try with any Delhi group though.

                          • @ALL: The alternate route (suggested by Kurt) had been updated in the first post to reach Leh in case of closure of the original route via Manali.

                            EDIT: Before we all leave, We'll have the perfect idea about the route's present condition & accessibilty, as Rishabh aka Blueryder is currently in LEH & will again be in contact before we start for our MISSION.

                            • One more thing, in the above mentioned itenerary is that you would be bypassing Jammu altogether by following the Samba - Udhampur route. Samba is around 50-60 kms ahead of Pathankot. It will save you around 80 kms.

                              Attaching map for your reference.



                              I believe you guys are starting from Delhi around 1st June. I will give you first hand information on Rohtang and Baralacha La before that, as I plan to visit Rohtang in the coming weekend perhaps.

                              Anyhow, you face any difficulty,anywhere, you give me a call. I shall be in Srinagar on the 4th of June. Inder has my number.
