Hi Guys,

I too planned for the same trip in Jun/Jul 08, however, unfortunately I have to go abroad for a business trip and my arrival back in India is not certain. I have a Royal Enfield Thunderbird fully serviced and done up with luggage carrier and relevant spares for the trip. Any one planning later trips please get in touch with me at muthu1963@hotmail.com.

Regards

I arrive Delhi on June 30th and plan to leave early morning on July 3rd for Leh. Plan to take 4 or 5 days for trip to Leh in order to diminish symptoms of AMS and to enjoy the scenery!

Glad to hear this. There are a lot of places that only see the angrezis zip by , and are worth seeing. My plan last year was among other things to stop in Sissu : had too good a time in Spiti , never made it , luxury problem..

My thoughts on the Manali-Leh road here : Sleepless in Sarchu : Tweaking the Manali-Leh Highway - not written from the biker perspective , but some useful stuff anyway.

Hello NewTraveller and Ishai:

I am considering doing a very similar motorbike trip around the same dates (latter part of July) and am quite flexible. NewTraveller, my hope is to also do something a bit more comfortable than absolute economy but to stick with a budget. I see that you're planning to rent an Enfield in Manali; have you found a suitable business? I'm torn between the classic Enfield experience and the reliable Honda trustworthiness

Manali to Leh, you will be needing a car with good ground clearance like a Scorpio. Manali has only small cars for local travel for hire. So Delhi or Chandigarh is the best bet.
