        Better go for chain cover and stock config tires. There are many tires available in 100/90-18 form. Anyways, 120mm fits well in ZMA but ZMR has lots of issues with the disc's presence.
        Got a $5 head? Get a $5 helmet.

          Reyaz, do review your start date. This time the passes might open up late (specially the leh-manali route) If they remain closed you will miss the most fun part of the ride, the Leh-Manali highway. Maybe push the trip back by at-least a week and start from Srinagar side.

              This is a more difficult day as you will be crossing Jalori in between. Will require 10 to 11 riding hours

                  2 12-Jul-2015 Nagpur Agra 850 Fort and taj mahal(Again very claustrophobic by the time you reach there, you would not be able either of them. Even if you are doing it the next day morning, it will take up a good chunk of time )

                  10 20-Jul-2015 Leh Pangong Tso 225 Distance is 160kms(Appx) unless you want to continue till Merak or beyond that.
                  11 21-Jul-2015 Pangong Tso Leh 225
                  12 22-Jul-2015 Leh Khadung la/Dixit 125 Can Cover Hunder, Sumur and Panamik too. Going just to Diskit is not worth. You would have sufficient amount of time to cover all of it.

                  Reply in Bold. If you riding to and fro you can Consider Jaipur-AHD-MUM-BLR or Ahmednagar-Indore routes too. BLR-HYD-NGR-DEL is waay too boring than the routes mentioned.

                    @phanikar thanks for the reply. Plan is that on the nagpur run we start Blore at 0400. Will reach HYD by 1000.( I have done this stretch twice on bike with same timings). From here to adilabad I assume will be 3-4 more hours. So from Adilabad to Nagpur which is 160 KM will take another 3 hours, Should still reach nagpur by 1800.

                    Next day start again by 0400 and try to get to Agra by 1500. But yes will have to see our conditions for this.

                    For the other bits I can consider that. 3 days back to Manali sounds good. Mostly will do that.

                    Cheers for the response. Any more advice or places to see, please let me know.

                      * Probably rains would have started. Plan accordingly for that.

                        Agree on the rain part. Am a bit worried about that too. But since we are riding only in day time, we should battle it out.
                        Permit are not required? Are we sure about this? Yes I read about this. There is a circular that says its not required. Just a valid DL, Passport or Adhaar Card should serve as ILP.

                          It'll just slow you down so plan to buffer for time lost.

                          See this: Ladakh Inner Line Permit | India Travel Forum, BCMTouring
                          You still need the permit for Chulshul and Hanle.
