One tip, stick to the Upshi - Chumathang route, decent enough roads for most parts (barring the final ~25km stretch) and villages at regular interval and not too steep.

actually the company carabin which you have told about equipment rent has shifted its base to gurgaon and they have stopped giving tents on rent.....please assist me...as i will be alone on cycle and i need a tent not more than 2.5 kg on rent...your effort will be highly appreciated

Actually most of the camping stores in Delhi have stopped giving equipment on rent. Zanskar for one does gives out tents on rent, few others might as well, here is a list of Camping Equipment stores in India

Hi,
There is another way instead of going all the way to Upshi. Once you cross Moore Plains and head for Tanglang-La, on the way when Tanglang-La is 27 kms ahead, you need to take a right turn.. there are 2-3 roads(similar dusty paths as you would see in Moore Plains), all of them would lead to Tso-Moriri.

Sorry no idea, you might want to check with the firefox dealers if they know where you can get saddle bags.

Dear Jayad,

your right that there is right turn for Tso Kar from Debring, but for Tso morit & Tso Kar inner Line Permits are Reqd & they same can only be taken from Leh Itself, so in that case the route from Upshi makes more sense
