Re: Leh Ladakh 2015 Planner

I'm so very well buddy. And there is nothing like Sir [MENTION=64089]sukhi29[/MENTION], We are just same kind of person carrying biking in heart that's it...

Coming to Leh, its on the cards for this year surely. But picture will get clear in May-June only. Will keep you posted

Re: Ride Planning to Leh 2015

8th June: Kalpa on top of Reckong Peo is better. Staying in Chitkul (jeori-powari-sangla-chitkul) will be best.
9th June: Very leisurely.
11th June: Very hectic - assuming you are retracing. In case you are thinking of crossing Rohtang and back - a cannonball ride assuming Kunzum pass is open (which might be an issue)
13th June: Peak of tourist season. Not sure you will like it too much in pahalgam. Push to Aru which is further 15 km ahead. It will be relatively less crowded and much more pretty.
17th June: Do stack up with others. Doing this solo might be very tough if water levels are high.
18th June: Chushul to Loma even with permits are not easy on any given day. Last year the Army turned away many people. We got through since we had a Major riding with us too. Also, half of the ride will be tarmac.
19th June: Fuel availability is there in Sumdo in black. Also in Nyoma I think (not sure though)
22nd June: Cannon Ball run. You might consider anchoring before that (many little places abound with home stays)
23rd June: After all that Ladakh, I doubt you will like the heat of Dharamshala :-)

Buffer days should iron out any delays. Sounds like a lovely plan. Do see if you can accomodate Zanskar too(2 days extra). Also, in case you have already taken the Kargil - Leh route last year, you could take the Batalik Route this year for variety.

Hope that helps!

17 June Disket to Pangong via Agam-Shyok would be a huge task.
River shyok may be in its worst form due to fast flow.

Anyone planning to ride from Chennai?

Re: Leh Ladakh 2015 Planner

@ALL: This year has seen more than usual snowfall on the Leh-Manali circuit. The passes might open a bit later than usual as per some travel veterans. Do keep tracking developments.

Re: Leh Ladakh 2015 Planner

Yup, even the Jammu-Srinagar national highway is in ruins. Was closed for a week till few days back. And even now, there are land slides at many places. So one can only imagine what the condition might be on Manali-Leh route.

Need help with a little touring detail

Heyy guys, I am planning a trip to Ladakh from Hyderabad, in about a couple of months, and I am concerned about water during the trip. One thing that I considered is to keep tarpaulin bags of water, like the truckers used to hang at the front of their trucks (it cools the water by evaporation, like the clay pots do). But I've been having a tough time trying to find a place that sells those.

If someone can help me out, I'd be very thankful

Re: Need help with a little touring detail

Approved and merged!

Are you talking about drinking water?

Re: Need help with a little touring detail

You are not going to moon that you are this much worries about water. There are shops after every few hundred kms. One needs to keep a bottle in luggage bag and use when ever you stop.

Also, there is a backpack for carrying water from viaterra. Check that out.

Re: getting leh'd in august 2015

Any itinerary is very tied to how many days you have in hand and whether you are driving from Bangalore to Delhi or are shipping your bike.

Re: getting leh'd in august 2015

I'm from Bangalore and plan to ride in July. Idea right now is to ride all the way from Bangalore and back. Any fellow Bangalorean keen to try this. I ride a CBR 250.
