Planning for the Most awaited trip of My Life. ( Leh - Laddakh )
Travel as much you can, as far as you can, as long as you can. Life's Not meant to be lived in one Place.!!!
Start to Travel
Travelling attracts almost everyone but only some of them can live out that dream. Just like everyone I also always imagine myself as travel freak visiting every place in world, meeting new people, live the different cultures and capture the nature's gift to my soul forever.
From the college days, I have dreamed a road trip to Leh/Laddakh. Almost every year of my college life I made plan with friends but at last somehow it cancelled every time.
Finally I have decided to do it alone without asking to my friends, as we were planning from many years. I told to my some friends that I'm planning to have road trip to Laddakh if you want to join also you can, otherwise I'm going anyways as its my dream to fulfill.
If you want to live your dreams, do not ever depend on others and live it in your way after its your life to live and only you know whats the best for you.
Prepare yourself and get set go to live your dreams!!!
This trip is not as much relaxing as others, where you just book hotels, take cabs and travel the place. This is something more and more which will gonna in your heart forever.
For this most adventures ride, you have to prepare and motivate yourself.
Its gonna be toughest ride of my life ever as there are too many hurdles like - off road, river crossing, narrow roads, high altitude, snow ride, ride where no support available
I started planning before two three months. I never wake up early in the morning but for this trip, I joined gym in early morning at 07:00 AM to improve health and stamina, followed diet plan for months which was too difficult for me but somehow followed that for 2 months approx because for motivation to the dream trip.
Things to prepare before journey begins -
1- Motivation to yourself ( much needed) :-P
2- Gym or Running ( increase stamina as might need to trek also)
Bike Needs -
1- Valid Driving license, Registration, Pollution certificate
2- Bike/ Rented Bike ( fully serviced just before trip)
3- Spare tyre/tube, clutch wire, break pad, Petrol cans
4- Chain Lubricator
Self Needs -
1- Rucksack bags or Suddle bag ( Avoid suitcase or trolley bags)
2- Bungee cord - 2 or 3
3- Rain Suit ( Very much possibilities of rain)
4- Riding jacket/pants
5- 4-5 pairs socks
6- Full faced helmet ( avoid half helmet as too much tining can happen)

10- Woolen cloths and jacket
11- Knee Armour/ Elbow guard
