BIKE: Will be sending my June 2003 Hero Honda Karizma (223cc/17bhp) via train to New Delhi. Read more about the bike HERE

The plan is a bit changed now...Riding up via Rohtang Pass, we intend to hit Leh, the capital of Ladakh by Day3.
Permits to ride to the top of the world will be arranged in advance, which means on Day4, we ride to Khardung La Pass (18640 feet) and beyond into Nubra Valley
Day5: Ride back to Khardung La and beyond to Pangong Tso Lake via Changla Pass (app 18000feet)
Day6: Ride to Sarchu
Day7: Sarchu-Manali
Day8: Manali-Narkanda
Day9: Narkanda-Delhi

As of now, we are around six riders.
Got to get hold of spare tubes / tyre inflaters / tents etc!
