              Hi Vishwas, I read the thread end to end and was totally hooked! Thanks for a great compilation of experiences and information. Riding the highest motorable road is a dream. After getting caught in the corporate trap for while, I have finally booked a TB500 and plan to do this trip next year. You can be sure that I shall be coming back to your thread again and again while finalizing and planning my trip!
