Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

Srinagar to Chandigarh can still be done, but I have doubts about these dates.

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

About the two bold dates, wouldn't they be long to be covered in a single day ?

also keep 2-3 buffer days.

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

Just to let you know. August will have rain. so make sure you carry all the necessary equipment for rain

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

select June , its good time , you might get to see lot of snow , july you might see barely snow and its too hot [trust me]

Last year in July i went for 12 days , started from Chandighar and ended in Chandighar , full circle below points might help you guys :

1. plan with plenty of buffers time [days] else you will be in trouble
2. we planned for 12 days and its not at all enough to cover all places , [mainly around leh like Nubra/Pnagong]
3. don't rent bike there else u might end of loosing time , as 5 in 10 bikes will stall/brakedown
4. use GATI for transporting your bike to and from places where u start , they pack well and timing is good
5. due to our less days , i had to ride Nubra and Pangong lake in mid night in those non-existance roads , although it is fun in riding at night, so plan well and cover only possible places instead of covering all like us.
6. Don;t miss the kargil side ride , its beautiful like places around Leh
7. drink lot of liquid and avoid alcohal/smoke
8. best to start from Chandighar and end at Srinagar
9. Srinagar to Jummy highway is worst traffic with lot of lorries/trucks , its waste to ride there one can't enjoy with that much of traffic.
10. finally spend as much time as possible on the way to leh from manali and around Leh , everything is there only.
11. there is one more lake tsomuri something like that, if possible plan very well for that as its around 300+ km distance
12. These bikes will work fine without problem: - P150, unicorn, R15 [avenger had lot of problem in controlling there due to its design]

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

You can transport your bike by train or by private transporters.
Renting an unknown bike for a trip like Leh is not a good idea.
If you want to ride from Chennai itself, you can also do that. But if thats too much, transport the bike till Jammu/Delhi and ride from there.

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

Hey Vasu, We do have a couple of people joining us from Chennai. They will be sending the bikes via train and either they catch a flight or travel in the same train and reach Delhi. Same for the return journey

riding the bike all the way would be fun, however the thing to watch out for is your health. It might make you tired for the Leh ride. So think twice before you make up your decision.

Tentative Dates: 1st week of Sept 2014

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

Hi,
I would like to join with you guys. I'm from Chennai and i ride Royal Enfield Bullet Std. Any fellow riders from Chennai? I have few questions regarding the bike? How to transfer the bike? Wat about rental bike from Delhi? Or riding all the way from Chennai?

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

Like a lot of people, I too have been planning Leh-Ladakh for sometime now. Hopefully will do it this year!

Am in two minds for a lot of things, should I do it early when the season starts in May/June or wait until September?

Anyway, anyone else planning from Hyderabad??

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner

Great to know of a thread like this here.
I'm planning to do this sometime in june. Will be travelling from Bombay.

Looking forward for this trip
