Planning trip to Ladakh

SaurabhChauhan · 27-03-09, 04:16 AM

Hi all,

I was referred to this forum by my collegue (Pankaj). I am planning a trip to Ladakh this year (1st week of June). I will have about 11-12 days and would like to do this trip on a bike starting from Delhi. I wish to visit both Khardungla and Pangong. Could someone please help me with the itenerary for this trip.

Thanks

Day 1 : Delhi - Manali
Day 2 : Manali - Sarchu
Day 3 : Sarchu - Leh
Day 4 : Leh rest & Acclimatize , permits, local monastries
Day 5 : Leh - Khardung La - Nubra Valley (diskit, Hunder)
Day 6 : Hunder, Panamik, K La, Leh
Day 7 : Leh - Pangong Tso
Day 8 : Pangogn Tso - Leh
Day 9 : Leh - Sarchu
Day 10 : Sarchu - Manali
Day 11 : Manali - Delhi
Day 12 : Buffer

Thats the most basic itinerary. Fine tuning can be done as per your preferences.

Alternatively, you can do Manali - Leh journey in three days to enjoy the scenery or take the Srinagar route, while coming back.

@hiambuj: Nice concise itinerary. Considering ~570kms, is it feasible to do Delhi-Manali in one go on bike?

I am also planning a similar trip in the end of May.

Varun !! You'll have to start early, 4ish in the morning !! & you can do Delhi-Manali in 1 day !! Most bikers here do it !!

I'd advise you guys to keep a buffer day in Leh also, to get your bikes checked etc. and to rest and recuperate

)

I meant, after the panamik stretch.
