Yogeshbhai, I am interested to go for Ladakh by my Honda shine bike with side car fitted. I am a handicapped person and my bike has a hand operated gear system and break also. I am alone so I have to find friend who will join for Ladakh. I am from Ahmedabad so guide me if possible.

Bhavik, although Avenger isn’t the best motorcycle for Ladakh, it doesn’t means that you can’t take it with you. In fact we had one with use in our 2007 ride and although it was the slowest of the bunch, it did do almost each and everything that other motorcycles did, http://www.bcmtouring.com/forum/travelogues-north-india-f61/bcmtouring-group-ride-ladakh-t13089/

If you want to see plenty of snow and ice, go in June.

Hi Yogesh,

i am Bhavik, i live in Mumbai & i am planning for a bike trip to Ladakh, since this is my first trip i have some questions.

> i am a little confused as to take my bike from here in train or rent a bike?
> if rent which one do you suggest & from where Delhi or Chandugarh. i own an avenger & i am not too fond of pulsar.
> what will be a good time to go this year (2010), we are only 2 of them and also i want to see ice & snow.
