            The distance between Leh and Khardungla is only 39 km. So, Leh-Khardungla-Leh should be 78 km.

              • Hi,
                I ride apache rtr 160, 34k kms on the odo..
                I'll be riding to Leh this year and wanted some help from guys who have got leh'd on the apache..
                Any problems faced due to high altitude?
                How was the overall performance?
                Any suggestions/ warnings/ information will be appreciated..

                Cheers,
                Pranav

                  • Hi there,

                    I have been reading the Leh threads on and off. Here is some help from me:

                    1. Read the Leh 2012 Planner thread, loads of info there.

                    2. Read trustvishwas's log, it is superb.

                    3. Check out the Excel sheet I had prep for MY trip in Jun 2012 here:


                    4. Check out my travelogue. Warning - it is in great details about EXPERIENCES, not figures and numbers...


                    5. Ramky's maps are here (I wish I could find this guy and gift him a bottle of Scotch)


                    After you have read the above, I don't think you need go anywhere. Any doubts/questions/tirades, PM or email me

                      Thank you for the links sir.. I've been through quite a few leh travelogues (been doing that since past 2 years with hopes of riding there next year.. :P) and as you said, vishwas sirs log was really helpful..
                      I am now just looking for some personal experiences from any riders who got leh'd on the apache 160, just in case i need to consider any more specific problems..
                      I'll be sure to ask you for further doubts.. Thank you..

                      PS. I really liked your leh travelogue.. Wonderful experience..


                      Cheers,

                        We had a rider (id : RazorBlades aka Gopi) on an Apache 160 back in 2009. He didnt faced any problem apart from a mere puncture.

                                Atleast in the near future, getting permits for far off areas like Hanle will be difficult it seems. Even last year there was a problem as some people had inadvertently strayed beyond the LAC. Hence, no permits for Hanle were issued for sometime.
