Himalayas, India, Leh Ladakh September 2022/Meet Up & Ride
Going to be in Leh on September 1st, looking for someone who wants to ride/camp around the Himalayas for two or so weeks. September weather is clear and cool.
Rental companies in the area are affordable and well reviewed. The airport to fly into is called Kushok Bakula Rimpochee.
Let me know if you're interested or have any tips for the ride.
Thanks,
Noah

I'm going in October, renting bike from Delhi and riding up to Leh via Srinagar, Diskit, Hanle, Umling La etc. See how far I can get in 8 days or so, then back via Manali.
If you're still around I'll ride with you for a bit, I'll be on my own.

Pin Valley
Hi I'm thinking of doing the Pin Valley loop in October/November time. I'd be interested in what prep youve done, visas, bike hire etc. I'm planning on meeting with a friend in Darjeeling in November so have a bit of traveling to plan and do

Himalayas, bike hire
Hi, I am scheduled to go to India late August for some riding in the Spiti Valley. I don't really care for group riding (11 bikes in all) so I find myself wondering if I could just go solo or with another like-minded person. Thinking I could rent a Himalayan bike for a reasonable price. I see your post is from some time ago but wonder if you can offer me any advice on that? I have done a lot of motorcycling here and there around the globe but never India and it intrigues me.
Thanks kindly,
Larry Simpson

Hi, I'm looking at riding Spiti Valley in September. I guess you already went a couple years ago from date on post. Any advice for me re routes, bike rentals, going solo or finding a partner, etc? I've done my share of international biking before but never India.
