      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
      If thats the case, you can cut down two/three days & 1400kms. So calculate the staying, food & fuel expense.
      We reached delhi as Mumbai-Ahmedabad-Ajmer-Delhi

      I think the courier expense is around 1200-1500 bucks.. Please confirm this, not sure.

          The courier cost should be roughly in the region on 2200-2400 via Gati.

            Ketan I dont think it will be a big difference in terms of money wise.. it should take roughly rs. 1800 for fuel, say 500 for hotel stay (two days) and 300 for food..

            you would roughly save around 800 bucks plus two days

            My total karcha was 20.5k including fuel for 6000+ kms.

            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.

              sending the bike to delhi or riding it over, there is not much of a cost difference. What you save when you send it over is the time. expect to spend Rs 20K for the trip and another 5K on your bike preparing for the trip or changing some stuff after the trip.

                  Sounds like fun! But with greater number of bikes come greater probability of screwups and also greater amount of fun... its a double edged sword!

                    I'm watching other's plan as of now and it seems like always I'm doing it solo unless someone's plan matches with mine.

                      Hmm..!! The staying saved will be around Rs. 1200, Fuel cost approx :Rs. 2000
                      And as per MG, you will be spending 2400 for courier. So not much of a difference I guess, just the significant saving is time & days..

                        I agree. I suggest you ride in groups of three, on different days (one after the other) and chill together in Leh. My two cents.

                            I didn't say that. I will be entering from Spiti and depending upon everything I might take a plunge as I should have enough holidays in my kitty.

                              Kab plan kar rahe ho? The itch to ride is there... but might do it all in a spur of the moment thing!

                              Thats a very sensible plan! Much better to ride in smaller more manageable groups than one large group!
