Coming to the weather, it was raining in the initial stages of spiti circuit because of which there were landslides very often. Zanskar we had to ride through gusty winds and snowfall. Wari la, Khardung La, n Baralacha la , we experienced fresh snow. Apart from most areas were dry and cold in the mountains. Plains were buring me from head to toe. Also had to experience lightvrains reaching Badrinath.

AIRTEL and BSNL(both post paid) worked fine for me at many places. Because of some problems because of floods , data connection was not intact . BsNL works at most places though.Originally posted by dichkaun View Post

The bad roads could take a max of 3 or even if you are snail paced , 4 hours. Rest other roads are good. Only thing is to look out for cattle on NH. The total ride was 30 days with 3 buffer days. But since we wasted abt 3 days in the initial days and also since we started the ride from halfway reversed plan , it killed more days. Overall bangalore to Bangalore was 33 days in total.Originally posted by madelikeagun View Post

Re: Getting Leh'ed - 2014 Planner
My friend. Weather is heavily localized at the Himalayas. One moment it might be clear and by the time you take a turn off a peak you will find yourself battling a local storm. Summer winter have no meaning there. Your best bet to pick a time of travel is to look at historical weather conditions and choose a date. Be prepared for anything .Originally posted by dichkaun View PostIsn't it too early for snow?Motorcycle Trip log - Summer ride to N.
