Nope, they are small towns with no jams. Some slow traffic for some time. I have done highway 95, its relatively free of traffic.

Hi all,

Planning to visit Leh on bike.Seems a task as coming from Mumbai & finishing the journey in 12 days is a big ask. May I have some idea where I could finish Delhi-Leh-Delhi in a span of 10 days in Septermber?

Mayuresh here is an itinerary you can try:

Day 1: Delhi - Manali
Day 2: Manali - Sarchu
Day 3: Sarchu - Leh
Day 4: Leh, get the permits
Day 5: Leh - Khardung La - Leh
Day 6: Leh - Chang La - Pangong Tso
Day 7: Pangong Tso - Chang La - Leh
Day 8: Leh - Sarchu
Day 9: Sarchu - Manali
Day 10: Manali - Delhi

Now this is a tight plan so it would be best if you can add a day or two to it.

Why not get permits in advance through some travel agent? It could save a day!

Because it not only costs more, it doesn't gives one any chance to rest. Riding bike for 10-12 hours daily for 10 days is a tiring affair, especially at that kind of altitude. So it is better to stop and relax for while.

No there isnt. I know HPPWD site says there is. I called them up, and they told me that there is a PWD resthouse at Marhi, but this Marhi is not the same Marhi that comes after Manali, its somewhere else.

If there was I would have stayed there!
