    Tso Pangong - Tso Moriri -- Planned to take Spangmik (Pangong Tso) – Man (9 KMs) – Merak (12 KMs)– Kakstet (4 KMs) – Chusul (24 KMs) – Tsaga La (33 KMs) – Tsaga Village (20 KMs) – Loma (23 KMs) – Nyoma (22 KMs) – Mahe (25 KMs) – Sumdo (10 KMs) – Tso Moriri / Korzok (53 KMs) = 235 KMs( But have heard some rumors that permits for chushul are not being provided. in this case any plan B that could be considered as a route . )

    Sarchu - Kaza - We were suppose to take gamphu route from Kuzum LA , but again if the pass is not open by 19th June , what other options available for the same.

    Rest of the plans are all set and waiting for dates to arrive fast ....

    I can speak for the first and third questions.
    You can take the Agham - Wari la - sakthi - chang la route.

    In case kunzum is closed (for this update, better to follow posts on bcmtouring where they have a dedicated thread on road conditions of this region) you will have to fall back along the same route and after Rampur (while going towards narkanda) cross the river sutlej at loohri. This is the jalori pass route. It will take you right upto the kullu tunnel. Time wise, from loohri to kullu should be around 6 hours.

    With the new permit rules - does the permit for all of these places still stand ?

    It is highly unlikely that Agham-Shyok route be open around mid June.
    Expect it to be open late July or August.June is the time when snow starts melting resulting a very ferocious fast flowing Shyok river.
    I could not cross fast flowing Shyok river last year around 13 June.

    These are the plans made behind screens, it takes a hell lot more than that to actually do It.

    Hi,

    Yes there is a route from Moriri to Pangong which can be easily covered in a day with early start .

    Route - Tso Moriri - Mahe - Nyoma - Loma - Tsaga - Rezang La - Chushul - Khaktse (Pangong Start) - Merak - Man - Spangmik - Lukung (Pangong End)

    Advise -     An hour or two after you cross Chushul, you will be treated to the first glimpses of the mighty Pangong Lake, tracks might disappear around here but you be sure to take a left here at this junction. You would see a road going to right but don't be tempted to follow that, that will lead you to China!

    i will heading to leh from mumbai on 8th June , hope to see you on the cuicuit coz ill be coming from the srinagar side and doing pangong - Moriri via same route ..
    me with a Green R15 ...


    ride safe .

    Is there a possibility that I can go to Moriri without going to Leh? And then maybe head to Pangong from there and then To Leh?

    Hey!,

    Well its been a while since I've posted here as professional and personal responsibilities kept me occupied big time. I recently traded off my RE 2011 C5 for a Pulsar 200 NS due to misc. reasons and now I'm planning the Ladakh ride starting 1st June this year. I have made a "blue print" of the itinerary and need advise from all the experienced and expats over the same. For the short bit, I would have max 14 days on disposal (+1 buffer day) from Delhi-Leh-Delhi trip. The plan is as follows:

    Day 1: Delhi-Manali/Vashisht

    Day 2: Manali and around. Servicing the bike and preparing for the big advnture

    Day 3: Manali-Jispa

    Day 4: Jispa-Leh

    Day 5: Leh and around, bike check up and permits

    Day 6: Leh-Turtuk (night stay at Turtuk)

    Day 7: Turtuk-Pangong-Spangmik (via Nubra-Khalsar-Agham-WariLa-Shakti-Changla-Taqngtse); night stay at Spangmik

    Day 8: Spangmik-Chushul-Mahe-Tso Moriri (Night stay at Tso Moriri)

    Day 9: Tso Moriri-Tso Kisgar-Sumdo-Tso Kar-Debring-Upshi-Leh

    Day 10: Rest day at Leh

    Day 11: Leh-Hanu-Dah-Kargil

    Day 12: Kargil-Srinagar

    Day 13: Srinagar and around

    Day 14: Srinagar-Jammu

    Day 15: Jammu-Delhi


    I hope the plan is not over ambitious either for the rider or the bike. If yes, suggestions, comments, rebukes and abuses are more than welcome

    Info on the accommodation part is needed in the far off areas of Turtuk, Tso Moriri and Spangmik.

    Also, if someone can shed some light over the road condition and availability of fuel in the above areas.

    Permits: If someone can jot down as to what all places need to be mentioned while getting the permits, it would be a great help.


    Day 3&4 are a bit of a concern for me as the the road might get blocked. Will I be better off to split Manali-Leh into 3 days?


    Waiting for comments and suggestions!

    Re: Chronicles Of A Lone Biker: The Northern Chapter

    Any idea about the distance from Spangmik to Tso Moriri? And will it be possible to go via Chushul this year as I hear a lot of stuff about Chushul being closed/restricted even for Indian citizens?
