Hi,
This is my first post, first of all kudos to Yogesh for curating this great site.
I am planning a trip from Leh to Nubra on a bike. My questions are(please point me if this was answered elsewhere):
0. Is Royal Enfield 350 going to do the job, with a pillon and added luggage and petrol (I did ride one to Ktop
last year without a pillon and overall the bike handled it well, but dont know how added weight will affect it)?
1. What is the most reliable bike rental service in Leh for hiring a Royal Enfield 350?
2. What is the remoteness of the Leh - Nubra road in mid - June (I know till KTop I will find many riders),
but how about after that in Nubra valley itself. Can minor things like bike punctures, break adjustments,
etc. be taken care of in the towns of Nubra? What is the worst case in case of puncture/breakdown in,
a remote place? (I have experience of 2500 kms riding from Srinagar - Zanskar - Leh - Manali last year
but we had a support vehicle, this time I want to go solo. I have only basic knowledge of bike functioning).
3. How much petrol to carry if I plan to go all the way to Turtuk from Leh and back, any petrol pumps
on the way?
Please provide answers and insights - preferably first hand. Thanks again
