    Thanks. That helped.

    So there is no point buying a BSNL pre-paid here as first of all it won't work and secondly I already have a Airtel postpaid connection.

      • As praful told earlier, Doing srinagar to Amritsar is a tough ride. Don't trust google maps for routing. Check whether the road from udhampur to samba is good.

        Also, if possible have a gps program and pre loaded maps of Openstreetmaps in it. Openstreetmaps bests google or any other maps for Ladakh region.

          • I don't see a single most of Motor confirming for the ride. What about the other guys from the initial list? Are they coming or they are not sure at this point of time?

              • lol, AFAIK the idea of splitting into two groups was because of the group size being more than 5... this is almost ok and doable.
                PS You missed Spidey in group 1 and wrote in group 2 instead

                          It'll be better for everyone travelling from train to go together

                          P.S: the stay at Delhi is arranged already, at my Masi's place. Its big enough to accomodate all of us

                            • ^^ And the expert speaks himself..
                              Even I was concern of you guys doing Mumbai-Delhi part in two days. Am sure you guys can rip it, but the major hindrance to worry is, there should not be any major stress on the bikes as it will be tooo hot as you move towards North till Delhi.!! And the 'actual' journey will start once you leave manali & the bikes has to be perfect until then.
                              Small suggestion : Chandigarh - Manali will take entire day & you may even have to ride in dark. Once you leave chandigarh, more of mountains will start & you will have to keep on taking spins after spins. If possible you can think of staying in Mandi & then next day proceed to Manali. This way you can reach manali by afternoon & you will have time to roam around a bit & even buy some stuff including petrol cans & petrol. Next day early morning you can head for the himalayas.

                              • Leave early from Mumbai

                                Mumbai Udaipur is doable in a day, but keep in mind that stretch between mumbai & surat is not in good shape, broadening of the roads in going on & there are lot of diversions, so plan your leaving time properly(i.e. leave early frm Mumbai). Road from Surat till delhi is absolute beauty. By the way i m nandeep pathak and even i have planned a trip to ladakh in my scorpio. I would be leaving Mumbai on 5th June 2010.

                                See u guys in ladakh, if poosible.
                                Life is a road, so keep driving as long as roads are there.
                                Got leh'ed this june.
