Satyen: I have pointed this out previously and mentioning it again. 6th June, when you plan to get permits in Leh is a Sunday and as far as I know the office will be closed. So, you might want to look into this.

Regarding my plan. Well the start date, as of now is 29th May (from Delhi). And following is a tentative plan. Looking at what we(me and Nitin - we two going together this time too) did last year, I won't bet much on us following the plan.

Day Start End
1 Delhi - Patnitop
2 Patnitop - Srinagar
3 Srinagar - Sonmarg
4 Sonmarg - Rangdum
5 Rangdum - Padum
6 Padum - Drass
7 Drass - Leh
8 Leh
9 Leh - Nubra
10 Nubra - Tangste
11 Tangste - PangongTso
12 PangongTso - Hanle
13 Hanle - Tso Moriri
14 Tso Moriri - Tso Kar
15 Tso Kar - Manali
16 Manali - Delhi

@Amit: Search the keys of your Fiero, get it serviced + oil change + wash and come along. I'm sure two Fiero's after 10yrs since they were first made, riding together to Ladakh will be nice.

The Fiero keys are lying next to me brother, and the bike is in a fine nick too. Just that being married for just three months, being immersed in work, not being able to meet your wife for the entire week (not even weekends sometimes), and earning no money doesn't leave you with many options. I will come along, Godwilling

@Nav: Actually Vishwas has someone in Leh who would be ready with the permits when we reach.
@Amit: Do it in a car, with your wife if need be! We all could too good with a back up vehicle!
