Is Day 10 & Day 11 - trip doable in Ritz given Chushul and Shyok river routes? 2. I saw in the first page of this great guide - that no need of permits for most places basis new rule, however i also see alot of people posting a day for permits? Completely confused, are the permits needed? If yes - can we get them all done in Leh? 3. Please do confirm if i need to make any changes in the plan as i need to complete the accommodation bookings given peak season and all, planning to book from Srinagar till Tso Moriri, rest we will check and get in as we go., hope this is fine? (of course now searching the logs for options to stay as well). 4. Any other risks or news I need to know of? Like bandh's/strikes etc? Regards Sri |

Dear All, Thank you for all the guidance and support, completed the trip as per plan., couldn't make it to Turtuk and TsoMoriri - one due to timings, the other due to health concerns. Overall had a great experience. clap: |

We did this over 2 days, Delhi-Agra was excellent, post which took a while to reach Sagar, post Sagar roads improved until Seoni, once you enter Andhra, its a different game upto Bangalore. |

Dear All, I am planning for my first long tour on my bullet for Ladakh this June. Reading through multiple forums, I have come up with following itinerary. Need suggestions on few questions mentioned after the plan: 19 June: Delhi to Pathankot/Patnitop 20 June: Pathankot to Sonmarg 21 June: Sonmarg to Leh via Kargil 22 June: Rest day/Permit 23 June: Rest day/Permit 24 June: Leh to nubra valley (Hunder), still contemplating on turtok 25 June: Hunder to Pangong Tso (stay in camps near the lake, hill or Merak?) 26 June: Pangong Tso to Tso Moriri 27 June: Tso Moriri to Key-long 28 June: Keylong to Manali 29 June: Manali to Chandigarh 30 June: Chandigarh to Delhi Few questions: 1) Is this itinerary too stretched, since I need to be back by 30th June, should I skip something? 2) Since I will be riding with a pillion, would fitting up a Ladakh carrier create discomfort for the pillion? 3) What all details are required for the permit? 4) I read that camps are not put near Pangong Tso lake, any contacts for camps would help Thanks!

That will be tricky. I noticed that locals(At Shakti, Tangste and Hunder villages) check the document of private car and also check if the owner is present in the car or not. I don't know if they allow a third party's car with NOC. |

Are they still stopping cars/bikes at self made check-posts to check your documents? |

| The High Court has directed the Leh district administration to remove all structures around the Pangong Lake. A bench of Justice Tashi Rabstan also directed the administration to take up the issue of shifting of the structures erected by army around the lake to any other area. “Not only this, a scheme/policy is also important to be formulated by the state government, if not already formulated, for preservation and conservation of Pangong Lake,” the court said. The court held the district administration should also endeavour to save, protect and preserve the flora and fauna in and around Lake. “Insofar as bore wells and hand pumps are concerned, the administration shall seal all bore wells and hand pumps which are operating illegally, unauthorisedly and without permission from the authority,” it added. Observing that the lakes are an important feature of earth’s landscape, the court said these water bodies are extremely valuable ecosystems and provide a range of goods and services to humankind. Pointing out that Pangong Lake is one of the biggest tourist attractions of the country, the court said: “Pangong requires preservation and conservation from being contaminated and polluted under the guise of developmental works, construction and erection of structures around the lake”. The court issued the directions after it was informed that several camps, restaurants and other structures have been set up illegally along the bank of Pangong Lake without any permission, generating all type of effluents and contaminants which pose serious threat to the very existence of the lake beside threatening the ecologically fragile region as also the wildlife. |
