Bike Trip to Leh - query

Hey all

I'm a first timer for a bike trip. I plan to bike to Leh from Delhi. I'm curious to know possible safety/security issues. Is the en-route safe for a female?

Thanks & regards
Santosh

Hi Santy and welcome to IM. I've moved your post here - out of the scams thread(more chances of getting an answer here). Also just a gentle reminder that as per forum rules - submitting the same post across multi threads is not allowed. Correspondingly - your duplicate post in the bus, car, motorcycle forum has been removed.

A general issue is altitude sickness ; the main point is to get three nights at altitude (2000+) before thinking of sleeping above 4000.

As for gender culture , you are moving in to a context where traditionally women have a stronger position. I would expect less , not more issues.

Thanks for the response.

I was worried more on the safety issue of females. Is there anyone in this forum who has made the trip with a female?

Mod Note

Hi Abhishek. Just a request to ask if you could use full words when posting (unless of course you're replying from a phone). IM is used by a variety of nationalities, for some of whom english is difficult enough without using text speak. Thanks for your understanding with this.
