Hi Debajit,

I am not a biker but should not be a problem with your bike. You can always crash in dhabas set up along the way or could carry your tent. Best to go July – August but June / Sep are also do-able. Ensure you always have extra woolens,water and food should you get stranded.

Look forward to seeing you on Kunzum more often.

Cheers….Ajay

Hi Sanju,

Mobiles work in Leh and Kargil. Here too the network can be erratic at times. But it does not work in most other places in Ladakh – at best BSNL in some place.

Look forward to seeing you on Kunzum more often.

Cheers….Ajay

Hi,

I am not sure what the options are in case of a breakdown. That is my biggest fear too. But do carry a strong tow rope with you – even when someone is pulling to tug you, they may not have a rope. You have a lot of passing trucks and cars – can always hitch a ride if there are not too many of you and come back with help. Not much of a help here I suppose.

Hi Hemant,

As long as it is fighting fit, there should not be a problem with the bike. Do keep extra food, water, woolens and fuel with you though.

Hi Hemant,

I am not an expert on bikes but if it is in good shape, you should not have a problem with it. Make sure you always have enough water, some food, extra woolens, extra fuel (if need be) and a puncture kit. You should be fine otherwise.
