@harry singh: Friend, thats how life is....I have just been to leh and back. Just 4 days is all i had but extended into 5 days. But You will go there my friend too....
In september, expect some cool temperature around 10-15September. Weather in evenings get really cold and chilly. So carry some warm ...warm winter clothes...
But do not, I repeat do not get into October, as you will experience sudden change in weather and its going to wintery cold.....

Thanks for the Response

Guyz,

I just completed a trip this year with my wife.

Ambala - Manali - back to Jammu(Khoksar Brigde was broken) - Srinagar - Sonamarg - Mulbek - Kargil - Leh - Sarchu - Keylong - Manali - Jammu !!!!!

-----Just the 2 of us on our Royal Enfield - Electra(350)------

I wanna go back, but this time in a group for more adventure.

So those who wanna go send me a message so that we can plan a final route plan and dates convinient to ALL and then the bikes will roar.

----------------------------Waiting for your reply(ies)

Hie everyone... Even i completed Delhi-leh on my enfield...this sep.. we left on 27th of sep.and came back on 9th of october... on 31st of oct i was admttd in hospital due to low haemoglobin..now only im fine and im writing here bout my trip.. when my haemoglobin got fine,i realized tat in my right eye,white light seemed to be very bright,sunlight as well..brain mri was done,and a tumour was detected on the right side near the optical nerve..its been such a bad time after having such a wonderful time on the trip..my brain surgery was done,tumour was removed..nd my staplers were just removed last week..so im doing better now,still recovering..but still not allowed to drive my Jaaneman(my enfield) for some time..
for trip..route v took was delhi-manali-leh-kargil-drass-srinagar-jammu-delhi...the max i ride was like srinagar to delhi wid just 3 of max rest at jammu,wid normal haults.... but it was a wonderful experience,specially Khardungla..top of the world..as soon as v reached khardungla,i kissed my bike and went straight into the army cabins bcos it was chilling... but overall amazing.. 13 days,2900kms..without a single punture and ne problem on my 1991 model Enfield..
