Ladakh is every bikers dream destination, thanks to the staggering height of over 10,000 ft., some of the highest mountain passes of the world and mesmerizing views. But, having your motorcycle ready to face the music of tough conditions of trans-Himalayan Region like Ladakh or Spiti Valley requires patience, due diligence, and, of course, some preparation.
Tips for preparing your bike for Ladakh Trip or Tips for preparing your bike for Spiti Trip
Remember, that the biggest tip to manage the grueling grind of a Spiti or Ladakh road trip is not to take yourself too seriously and enjoy the moment. But, how do you do it - when you’re completely out of your element, and the tough task of traveling through the most rugged region gets too overwhelming?
Well, it isn’t that difficult - as they say, well begun is half done. Hence, preparation, preparation, preparation - that’s the key.
Try Servicing your bike or at least know important parts and components. Because if you know your bike, you will never end up in many problems - you’ll be prepared for all eventualities. Also, Bullet guys - you need to put some muscles as you have to work very hard to work out a flat tire.
I have other advice to give you as well - particularly - remember you’ll be in the heart of the mountains, and you must cherish every moment. Also, be respectful of your fellow travelers - don’t ride rash or be in any kind of race.
Remember you should set yourself some realistic targets which you can achieve. And above all else, try making friends with fellow riders - you will find the most interesting characters and stories along the way. Be mindful of your body’s needs, and take a ton of breaks to enjoy the views and stretch yourself out!

Hindi version I want
Can I go with TVS RTR 160 4v with pillion to ladakh
Pradeep, you can go on it with a pillion. Just check a detailed video on this topic here: ruclips.net/video/HnZ_3o8nm5s/видео.html
Hi Dheeraj..
Can you suggest me one thing..
Well, my friends want to take a bus from Srinagar to Kargil. Then next day they want to explore kargil city and war memorial and after that on coming morning they are planning to take another bus to leh from kargil..
Is it a good idea??
Is there any bike rentals in Kargil??
what do you suggest?
Brother, yes, it will be fine where in from Kargil they can take the taxi to explore around Kargil and then next morning take the bus to Leh. I have not heard much about any bike rentals in Kargil. So, best will be to take a taxi for day local sightseeing.
Is 500cc really at advantage than a 350? How much if it could be qualified?
Not really, 350 is powered enough to do any stretch up there
Can we go with a pillion in bike to ladakh????
Yes you can, here is the detailed video on it Q79. Can I plan a trip or a bike ride to Leh Ladakh with pillion? [5 Important Tips]

hi Dheeraj.. i just want a expert advice from you.. Is it advisable to take my VITARA BREZZA Diesel AMT.... (I Repeat AMT) to SPITI VALLEY & LEH LADHAK.??? What are the challenges i can face..... Waise I have done Leh Ladhak in 2014 in Scorpio...
Ashish bhai, well, I have been part of the groups where we have taken AMT vehicles without any major issues. They did struggle at certain sections but were able to do most of the tough and remote roads at the end of the trips... so, I will say it shall not be an issue as long as you stick to the limits of it
Thank you so much for your prompt reply. In 2014 also we (me & my friend) completed our trip to Leh Ladhak with your guidance & expert advice. Thanks again.
It is such a pleasure to always know that efforts have helped and that too for such a long time now 😁😁
Sorry for bothering you again. Please advise the best time to travel to SPITI & Leh this year. TIA
If you plan to watch some snow, then early season like middle of May (if Kunzum opens) to end of June shall be a good time else you can plan in month of September to middle of October for vivid colors
If I enter kaza >Gramphu >Kelong >TsoMariri>Henley >Spangmik( pangang lake >leh then where from l coletct the inner line permit? and where I get petrol after Tandi?
One more thing.....
I want to travel kargil to zanskar and zangla palace. Where I can get petrol pumps in
You need to arrange for permit in advance by paying some travel agent. He will send you scanned copy and you can make further copies for submission. You need to send scanned copy of your documents to the travel agent.
Regarding petrol, you can only arrange it in black from the local villages of Hanle, Nyoma, Pang, Korzok. Or you can take the Tso Moriri route via Upshi and go little ahead to Karu petrol pump to get the petrol
@@discoverwithdheeraj
What type of documents will be needed for me and my car? Can you give me the phone number of any Agent?
Is it sure that I will have petrol in Pang and Hanle? Or I have to carry jaricans of petrol from Tandi petrol pump ? Is plastic jaricans available in Tandi petrol pumps or I have to buy it from kolkata?
I also want to travel kargil to zanskar. Where I get petrol in this route?
Many Many thanks.
1. You need photo id nationality proof for inner line permits
2. Gurmat Namgial +91 94199 80089
3. There is of course no guarantee but mostly people get it. Best is to carry spare fuel always and check my video on how to safely carry fuel on bike: Q87. How to safely carry luggage or extra fuel on Spiti or Ladakh Bike Ride? [10 Safety Tips] ruclips.net/video/3fZvaePVazg/видео.html
4. For Zanskar fill at Kargil and then at Padum
