Me @ Yanker Pass

Finally I have decided that I am doing Mumbai to Leh on a bike (an Enfield - have been saving for 3 months now). Obviously the biggest constraint is the bike and availability of Rohtang Pass. Since Rohtang Pass opens between May and October only, I will have to do it in May or June 2009. This also gives me enough time to buy a bike, know it, make it my friend, get over my motion sickness, get back in shape, plan the details, get people to come on board etc.

Apart from my commitment to the travel, I am not sure of anything about this trip. I dont know who I will eventually travel with. I dont know where all will I take the pit-stops. I dont know what would I do once I reach Leh. For me its more about the journey rather than the destination.

Over these next few months, I will collect information and hopefully find few crazy ones to travel with me. Along with this page, I will use this FB group to gather and collate information and other things about the trip.

Please spread the word and help me connect with people who have been there. And more importantly, people who yearn to be there. This might just be the opportunity.
