    No problem in riding a family member's bike as long as you have all documents complete and a valid DL.

    Also adding an source of information that am referring to DeViL on WheeLs - Travel, Off The Road.... Many useful maps, suggestions and tips came from here - Hope it add to everyones planning.

    Dear Asif

    I did solo ride in September, 2011 to Ladakh. Can go through the following link . Hope a lot of your queries would be answered automatically:


    Beyond Rohtang - Solo Ride to Pangonglake - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community
    http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/tourer/21369-beyond-rohtang-solo-ride-pangonglake.html
    Motorcycle travelogues by thousands of xBhpians from across the world.


    BTW: I would be there (another solo), this year as well if all goes well although I have never repeated any ride so far but Ladakh is different

    1.Does tso kar have accomodation? I've heard that there are tents available but in small number.

    Yes.You may also try staying in a village near tso kar.But i am not sure.I have seen some dhaba in that village.

    2.If i take this route,assuming i fill up at Karu. the no fuel stretch is about 540 kms(till tandi)

    On and average my bike gives about 30-32..For ladakh i would be a lil more cautious and say my bike will give 25.Considering that and the fact that i would not let my tank run dry as its an fi bike,i would like to leave about 2 litres spare.Therefore, i have a range of 16x25=400 + 100(bottled) = 500 kms.

    I could of course somehow carry an extra litre or two here but just to be safe are there any bottled petrol sellers on the route I've mentioned incase I run dry?

    After Tso Kar,when you head towards Korzok,you will find a village named Lower Sumdo.Road bifurcates here,one goes to Mahe,another goes to Koezok.
    A tibetan refugee sells petrol in Lower Sumdo.Last year I purchased petrol from him for 110 rs liter.


    My answers are in Bold.

    Sir,yes.
    There is indeed a direct route between Pangong and Tso Morir.And it is the most awesome route in entire Ladakh.
    Lukung(Pangong starts)-Spangmik-Maan-Merak-Khasket(Pangong ends here in India and enters into Tibet)-Chushul-Tsaga La-Loma-Nyoma-Mahe-Sumdo-Tso Moriri.
    This route can be done in a day.But getting permits for Chushul may be difficult these days.

    Ok so in a desperate attempt to not miss out on tso moriri or tanglang la.I'm thinking of this route(not rushing restrictions apply of course)

    pangong-tso kar via tanglang la
    tso kar-korzok
    korzok-sarchu/pang
    sarchu/pang-manali

    A couple of questions arise:

    1.Does tso kar have accomodation? I've heard that there are tents available but in small number.

    2.If i take this route,assuming i fill up at Karu. the no fuel stretch is about 540 kms(till tandi)

    Oh this is perfect.Yeah i do understand about the unforseen delays that can occurs.Just wanted an average time to plan departure from places and the link you shared does exactly that.Looks like an updated version of ramkys map.I have an outdated one from 2010 i guess.

    thanks

    "Reading this makes me want to do the trip again. In 2012, I had taken too may clothes and have now learned that one can make do with just two sets for the entire ride duration."

    I have not so far repeated any of my ride but as icemang has said he wants to repeat Ladakh trip, I might also do it for obvious reasons this year itself and there are thousands of reasons to repeat Ladakh ride.
