Sauarbh, while a Pulsar 150 can take a pillion to Ladakh, please keep in mind that the bike has to be in good condition and there shouldn’t be too much luggage on it, else it will struggle at steep inclines and if it does, it would be best for the pillion to simply walk on those sections. Of course another thing to keep in mind is that the pillion will bear the majority of bumps en route of what is a really bumpy ride.

As for your splendor, well as long as it is in good condition and you aren’t carrying excessive luggage, it should be able to take you to Ladakh.

As far as budget goes, check out this blogpost of mine Budget for a trip to Ladakh | Yogesh Sarkar's Blog

Camera would entirely depend on your budget, so please let us know what it is and we will suggest accordingly.

i would second ys on the pulsar, but as far as i am concerned, the splendor is typically a commuting bike, and with whatever knowledge i have as an automobile engineering student, i think the bike will have a lot of rider comfort issues and i think it will be too much fatigue on ur splendor...but one good thing u will have is, one helluva range considering its fuel efficiency.

and for the camera, it depends on ur photography interests, you can get anythin from an nikon L10 which will cost 4-5k to a super slick slr...upto you.
