Just now checked. This old old Leh travelogue thread has crossed 51,000 views and is now the second most viewed tourer thread on xbhp.

Ofcourse it will Ji; Didn't I tell that earlier in the first post that this is going to be a bible for Leh? That's exactly what has happened & will happen; your methodical approach & systematic planning beats everything else & that's what has been reflected on your T'Log

And not to mention, I don't think any other thread has so many votes; 62 people with an average of 4.82!!!

Thanks for the compliments.

You can find the upcoming plans here - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/1...2-planner.html

How about RE Thunderbird's performance on your way to LEH...did you people faced any issue with that bike. I want to know your call about RE Thunderbird.

can you please let us know the store or location where we can get army stuff

Guy riding with me on RE Thunderbird did not suffer due to altitude sickness. However, the bike developed oil leak and consumed 3 litres of oil during those 12 days. Also his battery conked off in Shrinagar. Replacement was not available so every morning he got a good warm up exercise of kicking RE at least 50 times.

The store does not have any name. It is located in Juna Bazar in Pune. The clothes sold are brand new. However, not all sizes are available all the time. Alankar Mishra and Ketan_R15 know location of this shop.

I am not aware whether this is available in Mumbai.

Also it has been pointed out by my serving friend, that the clothes available there are not legally available.

Thank you for an amazing and engrossing trip log Vishwas.

What you have portrayed - is the trip in its entire form, being very objective. This trip has taken you through almost everything you can feel... happiness, saddness, bliss, frustration, endurance..... i'm still out of words except for Amazing! One COMPLETE trip you've had... and what a destination!!

When ever you were subjective, i laughed out loud ... receiving stares from my colleagues who were wondering which comedy movie was i watching when anything and everything is blocked in the office!! (i'm lucky to not have XBHP blocked by the firewall).

Rated the thread as i stand by your belief regarding the stars. It would have mattered to me in case i posted something similar. Even a single star by a reader would have lit up my face with joy. If credentials are to be valued, i wished xbhp were never hacked ... we all lost our identities only to come back and start from a clean slate. I'm still a baby going by my post count on the reincarnated xbhp

Thanks again. Have fun and more such trips on your Ninja and keep us hooked to .. as some body put it.. "Channel Vishwas"

Wow. Amazing compliments. Thanks.

Amazing, Awesome, ROOW.......
