    Pangong is quite far from Korzok. Korzok is next to Tso Mori. You cannot reach Korzok from Pangong if you start at 16:00

    Roughly you are covering 3500Km. Assuming your bike gives 30KMpl, you'll need roughly 120l of fuel which works out to Rs8400 @Rs70/l
    That leaves you about Rs2000/- per day.
    I would say perfectly doable.

    nope. no permit needed

    It'll depend on the mileage your bike gives.

    As advised, I did a bit of research about starting from Chandigarh or Jammu, however it will not be convenient owing to the train timings and availability.
    A few other questions:
    If I am to start riding from New Delhi and continue on to Jammu - Srinagar - Kargil - Leh - Around Leh - Nubra Valley - Leh - Sarchu - Manali - Delhi, the entire trip will be completed in 12-13 days, estimated. Is is fine to go without bookings??

    I am hearing about some permits, Do Motorcycles require permits for the above mentioned route??

    Lastly, for a budget trip, for the Delhi-Leh-Delhi part, how much money will I need??
    The ride is a Bullet Standard 500 (UCE)

    Thank You.

    Any other ideas on how I could still visit these places and cover the manali leh highway entirely??
    Yes that will be an issue. You can choose to go via the Manali route till Leh. That'll let you cover the stretch

    This way you don't need to return to Leh.


    Also try Hunder-Spangmik via Wari la. It will likely to be open if you go in or after July.

    Also, if anyone is riding out in the first week of August, we could perhaps ride together..

    Any inputs please??
    Save your dates for actual Leh ride rather than wasting 4-5 days riding from Kolkata to Dehi or Chandigarh. The best place to start your ride for Leh are Chandigarh or Jammu

    Do publish your plan once you finalize. It'll be good to meet up for tea/coffee/beer if we happen to be in the same place same time.
    will do that for sure although route is finalized , group selection is in process .
