The following pages are a day to day account of my maiden ride to Ladakh. Accompanying me was my friend Rohon, on his Bajaj Avenger. I rode my 2 month old Royal Enfield Bullet Machismo 500cc. The start reading on the odometer at 1940, almost everyone warned me not to do it on a fresh Bullet. But this was the last chance to go to Leh this year, didn't wanna let go of the opportunity. Took a chance with the Bull and headed out on October 1.
We completed 3,800 kms on the trip and spend 14 days on the road.
The route undertaken by us was as follows:
Delhi - Ambala - Manali - Rohtang Pass - Keylong - Pang - Leh - KhardungLa - Leh - Kargil - Srinagar - Pathankot - Bathinda - Panchkula - Dehradun - Joshimath - Rishikesh - Delhi
At the end of it, we'd travelled in all the North Indian states and spent at least one night in each of them.
The ride was marked with extremely cold weather conditions, snowy surrounding and of course bad roads.
