If you are happy with K&N then keep it, just make sure to clean it once you reach Leh.

No need
i have used mine for like 40K kms now
havent cleaned it once.
though i have mounted it inside airbox without cover.
and a K&N would help at high altitudes.

I have a discover 135 cc bike, and two of us plan to travel leh in it. The bike is in excellent condition, should it be sufficient to take toll of two people and some luggage or should I try to arrange for a bigger bike?

I guess with pillion it might be a problem at few stretches on Discover 135 !!

^^ Agree... one is ok ... two is not. Get something bigger or get the pillion another bike

Hi,
I was just wondering do we need to change the tyre air pressure while going on these altitudes, since the air pressure is very low in such regions.
