1.5 weeks is very little time to get to India, make arrangements Tour & get back.
Let's see....
day 01 -- Fly to Delhi, spend night
day 02 -- Bus to Manali 20 hrs
day 03 -- Rent bike get supplies (xtra gas, tube, ect), rest?
day 04 -- Leave Manali to Keylang
day 05 -- Keylang to Sarchu
day 06 -- Sarchu to Pang
Day 07 -- Pang to Leh, stay in Stk Tsal guest house
day 08 -- Site see Leh, or perhaps side trip to Khardung La (highest motorable road in the world 5675m), return bike
day 09 -- Flight, Leh to Delhi
day 10 -- Flight to Europe, arrive at 2:00 am
Day 11 -- get up at 5:00 am & head to work fully rested?
even a poorly placed flat tire would spoil this itinerary. Flights from leh are unreliable, busses break down, roads wash out, bikes are rented out, gas statiuons run otta gas ect. Worse yet, thats 4 days of riding for six days of arduous travel. If you have less than 4 weeks I'd go w/a pre arranged tour. They'll pick you up at the airport, arrange bikes, accomodation & transport, provide saga wagon mechanics ect.
2000 pounds seem over priced arrange one if delhi for subsrtatial savings.
