Problems taking out of state bikes to Northern India
I read somewhere on here last year about people using out of state bikes to travel from Manali to Leh and beyond being stopped by locals and told they had to either rent one locally or pay a fee, it did sound a bit like extortion of some sort, can anyone tell me exactly what happened and is it likely to happen this year? I have spoken to a friend who is a tour guide in that area and they said their group was a mixture of local and out of state bikes and sending the local ones first got them through, were people on foreign registered bikes also hassled?
I am planning a trip there this year which I would like to use my Maharashtra registered bike for but if it is going to be a problem might go by bicycle instead.
