I never recommend agencies, but if time is of critical essence, give your work to an agency who will door deliver your permit within three hours for some 200 rupees.

Some IMers were planning to send advance faxes and photographs to agencies and get the permits issued on the same day that they touch Leh.

If time is so important, try it out.

People have also succeeded in getting ILPs on their OWN the same day without agents greasing the conveyor belt.

Take your pick
.

You would have to reach Leh early on Friday to get the permits done on time.

DC office closes by 4pm and its always crowded. I would suggest you to contact some agency who could get you the permits before you reach in order to not waste time. You need to fax your documents thats all.

Thanks Avid & faiyazsultan
can you suggest any agency who could arrange the permit on behalf of me, and also what about saturday is DC office is clossed or not please conferm me.
one more qustion freinds can leh be done with two person with there lugage on one bullet 350cc.

As long as the Bullet is in good shape, shouldn't be an issue.

You can do that with a bull 350 ... without any issues buddy ...
Loads of my friends have done it ... only problem is extra fuel for Tsomooriri ...

About any agency ... well I dont know any agency but one of my agents can help you on this.

His name is Altaf and his num is 09906999656
Contact him and say that you are my friend, he would do the rest ...

thanks faiyaz for the altafs num: you made my job easy thanks once again.
one more thing freinds, i am bit confused about my laugage, i mean to say how to handle it on bullet.
i have seen faiyaz and yogesh images with there bike you have tied a bag at the rear end of the bike,
can u all sugest me any thing for bullet,
just spended 3500/- for the new parts for bullet wich i think could not make up to leh.

Okay, well in that case get your self a custom made carrier which would do the job. Also buy custom saddle bags from Delhi [would cost a couple of grands over all] remember to get poly cover or water protection for your luggage.

In our previous tours, loads of Bullets had done it with a pillion along. Last year, i tested one of the new models of bullet from Delhi to Leh and back to review it. I always carry all these and have it, if in case you do not get one till the last moment, contact me I will lend you my stuff or take you to places where you may get them done.

- Regards,
Faiyaz

Best option is to get the saddle bags from Cramster, but if the luggage is more than what you can stuff into them, then get the luggage racks installed. It would increase the weight, but would give enough space to carry backpacks.

Thanks faiyaz & yogesh,
what i acctualy want on my bullet you can have a look on the image, but the problem is that i am not getting it in mumbai, i have searched every were i supposed to be, some says that you will get this only in delhi.
is this true,
i am starting from jammu so i have to fit this on my bullet in mumbai only
even sadel bag can do but no idea where i will get in mumbai,
can you all help me if you know

If you are not getting it there in Mumbai, you have no other choice but to visit Delhi for a Day, get the stuff ... and move on.

regarding the permits..
i think this whole thing is overhyped. i just returned yesterday from an out of the world leh-ladakh trip and getting the permit costed me 20 rupees (80 for some places). and the time taken was preciously 20 mins. i am not too sure about 4 pm closing on fridays and sat sun being off since i got it at around 10.30 am on friday.
The permits are issued free of cost to tourists, however the 20 rupees (or 80) charged are given towards wild life preservation, which i think is a fantastic concept.

Thanks faiyaz,
it would be difficult for me to halt in delhi for that,i will manage it with other kind of lugage carrier which r easily availabe in mumbai. for any other help i will surly ask you.

thaks mr. buddha,
good to hear that the permit is easily availabale, i will personaly go there before 12.00 on friday to make my permit.

one more thing freinds any one going in sep. 08 from jammu-srinager-leh-manali. would love to join them.
please refer me also with them,
thanks once again.
