Hello to all BCMTians, I am planning a 10 days tour to cover Spiti starting from Delhi (4 pax). Below is the itinerary on which I would need the experts advise in order to fine tune or amend. And also if the experts in the house can recommend stay options at these places (budget/home stays)...

We often ponder and worry if we should take our little ones (as young as 2 year olds) to high altitude destinations. I hope this travelogue will help many parents who are in a similar dilemma and want to travel to places like Ladakh and Spiti with thier young kids. We travelled to Spiti with our...

The trip to Chitkul, Himachal Pradesh three years ago is still sweet in my mind, but the recent one barely a week ago is not so, because I see a change and it’s not a pleasant one- Let me explain. I visited Chitkul, the tiny village in the lap of Himalayas, first time in 2014 and then in 2016...

Preface I did my first motorcycle ride in the Himalayas in 2016, when I rode to Ladakh along with another friend. Riding in the Himalayas is a serious addiction as I figured out. Unfortunately, for people from the south of India, it is not easy to plan a trip to the Himalayas. It takes a lot of...

A bit of a hiatus (an year - give or take a month or two) in the riding schedule had ensued due to personal reasons, and I was intent on planning to ride solo again with a pressing sense of urgency. March of this year (2018), the opportunity presented itself and was grabbed with both hands -...

For the last three years, we are going to the Kinnaur valley during Holi (the Indian festival of color). We exactly don’t know why, because neither we have any relative(s) there nor we go there to celebrate holi! So why do we go there? – Let us keep this aside for now, as I’ll try to answer this...

I travelled Leh during August 2009. It was a very old dream. How old? Well, I was aware of some region named Ladakh (90s) but never came across any pics. During 1998 I got a chance to watch Dil Se Movie. Leh and surrounding area were amazingly captured in this movie. I decided then and there...

“I took the right decision by not traveling in the Govt bus and went for the comfortable Traveler” was thinking and praising myself while getting lost in the magnificent beauty of the mighty the Himalayas while traveling from Kaza to Manali. Initially road was better so as the views all...

At the very beginning , I would first like to confess that I have been away from this wonderful forum for quite sometime now and much water has flown under the bridge since then. After coming back, i realize how much i missed it but I have been on a lot of trips the time I have been away, so...

Whoever said “all the best laid plans of mice and men go awry” was probably predicting what would happen to our plans to travel to Spiti. Our plan did not go awry but it did change in unexpected ways. It all started out with a phone call to my longtime friend (and BCM’er), Indian Traveler (IT)...

Hi guys, I recently completed my Himachal visit. We were a group of 5 guys and the entire tour was based on no planning whatsoever. Used public transport for the most part and visited places that we didn't think were possible this way in this month. This included Kalpa, Chitkul and Gulaba. Also...
