hey i am also looking out for puncture kit and electric pump, any ideas where I can get it in Bangalore? Also the cost range.

Electric pump I do not have any idea. But a puncture kit with tyre rods 2 nos, tube patches, Valve tube spanner, emmery sheet put together will cost you around Rs. 250/- + a foot pump would cost you around 275 - 300. All these will be available in the Gallis in JC road.

One saturday afternoon take your own time to browse through the area and you can find the same.

Cheers,
Shankar

So how much was the damage caused by that kit ?? Coz I am planning to buy one for my upcoming rides.

[346tourer]

It was pretty cheap. A full sheet of tube patch cost'd 40/- [for three bikes], then the solution to stick it cost'd some 60/-. Two long screwdrivers came to 50/-, yet to find Emery sheet and value tube spanner[Actually forgot about this when I went to JC road].

Hey,
One more item to be procured now..
We intent to camp at least for 4 days during this Leh trip, I was looking out for a small stove to carry. I have heard of stoves which burn with some camphor like capsules, any idea where I can buy them in Bangalore.

Better to get a Kerosene stove its not expensive

May I know from where did you get that information? Stop posting absolute non sense without doing any basic research on it. People ask serious questions looking for genuine answers and not someone's figments of imagination.

Portable stoves with fuel tablets are used by campers in high altitudes all over the world, we bought one recently as well!

Firstly, I am also having portable one but my friend who has just returned some weeks ago from trek in uttranchal suggested not to use it as heating issues are at high altitude...I was searching some replies from yogesh while i was ordering one from ebay and a BCMT member name i dont remember who has used it and gave same feedback...

My friend i am not here on this community to mislead people I just gave a suggestion not a command.

^That would be Bhuwan, he took that tablet stove on his 2008 trip to Ladakh and they couldn't light up the tablet, even after using an entire box of matches! I think this had happened when he and Umesh were camping in Sarchu.
