Hello Everyone..
First of all, kudos to all the members of BCMT for providing such valuable information to fellow travelers.
Went through almost all the solo ride travelogues on BCMT and chalked out a plan for Zanskar & Ladakh for June - July 2017.
Now, this time I will be riding my new KTM Duke 200 and it comes with only 10.2 ltr fuel tank
.
I request to all the fellow BCMT'ians and solo riders to advice / help me here on possibility of riding on below route with Duke (10 ltr tank + 10 ltr in cans). or I can do this circuit other way round as mentioned in my full Itinerary -
Leh - Karu - Upshi - Chumthang (overnight stay)
Chumthang - Mahe - Karzok (overnight stay)
Karzok - Mahe - Nyoma - Loma - Hanle (overnight stay)
Hanle - Loma - Tsaga La - Chushul (overnight stay)
Chusul - Merak - Man - Spangmik (overnight stay)
Spangmik - Marsimik La - Leh (Is it feasible?) (overnight stay)
I can buy loose petrol in Nyome, or Hanle but do you guys recommend on buying loose petrol since Duke has fuel injected system not the carburetor one ?
Also, need to know if above route is possible & do I need to mention separately this route in ILP?
I am open to idea of spending 2-3 days more in Ladakh but need to cover this route.
(I know Indian Army sometimes does not allow travelers to Tsaga La, Hanle. Lets hope this year solo riders will have good luck with them and they will allow me to go.)
