      Thanks Vaibhav for the inputs. So, July ruled out for obvious reasons[]

          see you in the hills guys

          Well, I'd probably ride down to Mumbai to join you guys from the start. But that makes it 4 days to Delhi. If I ride down from Hyd to Delhi straight, it would be 2 days!

          As such, another gang grom Hyd is planning the ride during the very same dates...

            wow! how did i miss this thread!

            spidey, beru, satyen, dk what a gang to hang out with.. i am not yet sure about june since office work requires me to travel for long..

            may be in september but no riding on the GQ this time instead of spending time on the man made beautiful straight roads, will hit spiti valley to enjoy the natural beauty!

            let me know if i can be of any help on planing the itinerary
            A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

            Always be ready (get geared) to fall and then think of sitting on the motorcycle.

                  For Spiti you would require minimum 4 extra days <Excluding if you want to visit Sangla/Chitkul>

                  1) Shimla - Kalpa
                  2) Kalpa - Tabo
                  3) Tabo - Dhankar - Pin - Kaza
                  4) Kaza - Keylong

                  Add a day if you want to visit Sangla/Chitkul (which is worth it IMHO)

                      One more thing, try to recruit prople with good touring experience or you might have problems. Thats the only reason I have turned down riding offers from BS, MRC, MBC. Quite nice people, wanted me to ride with them to Leh

                      @DK: Just drop IN mate, we'll try to recruit Ketan as well & Razor is ready for anytime to Leh...

                      @Inder: Just come, bunk the office, how many times have you bunked anything since collage?

                      This will be a helluva ride if all the people mentioned above are ready to come, includes me!
                      Thank you for considering me Spidy dada! I would love to join you guys for the grand ride(of course if the big boss is cool with it) provided my finance problem gets resolved. Shouldn't be a problem as it's still 2 months away. I might confirm you at the last moment and tag along Looking forward.

                            Ideally it should be that way..! A crowd is not required for such a massive trip..the management n all is a lot of problem.

                              @All: I would suggest you cargo your bikes to delhi and then start riding from there. There is no fun in riding in to delhi from Mumbai/Banglore etc. It gets monotonous after a while.

                                @ thread starter and Rachit, Razor etc(who have been to Leh from Mumbai),

                                Like kurt said, if we cargo the bikes from Mumbai to Delhi and then ride on how much will be approximate kharcha? I guess the 25K figure suggested earlier was considering riding right from Mumbai to Leh. so what'll be the difference if one decides to cargo his bike to Delhi?

                                Kindly help
