    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!
    Fantastic..the itinerary looks good..thanks a lot Vaibhav.. I knew i could rely on you for the info.. Looks perfect as per the present situation..just hope the snow/ice clears away before our trip starts..

    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.
    This also looks pretty logical..

    And may be if you can pre-pone ur ride by a day then we all can ride together up-till Leh together.. *i.e if you comfortable with it *

        I am riding to Leh this year, but that's still much ahead...28 Aug to be exact. But that's the topic of a different thread, and I don't want to steal the fun going on here

          That is called as rounding off my friend
          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.

            Thanks for asking me to tag along, but as per the recent deveopments at my end, I would be spending 2 extra days exploring some areas in Kashmir. I would anyhow reach Leh on the 7th. As, planned earlier, am sure we can can all catch up at a German bakery in Leh

                  Yessss... Many fakes in and around India.. but I guess only three (Leh, KP & Goa) are the original one's.

                      There are actually 3 of them. Now, if they are fake or not, that I am not sure off. Never bothered, as the hunger kills you after a long ride and you are only concentrated on the food

                            Stop fooling yourself. We both know you are dying to come!!! I still think you should just put your foot down, tell them to shove their notice period where the sun don't shine and just come with us. Stop finding excuses to delay getting Leh-ed any further. You'll always have excuses. Opportunities are a whole other story.
