Are you looking out for a packing list or list of things to carry on your bike trip to Ladakh or Spiti Valley or any other parts of the remote Himalayas?
Manali - Leh Bike Trip - the MAJOR dream goal for all adventure and travel enthusiasts. This Manali to Leh bike ride is a trip that one dreams of, fantasizes about for years on end before being able actually to embark on the journey. And, once you are indeed in the Land of the Lamas, you’ll know that the journey was worth it.
But, what comes before the stunning landscapes? A lot of planning and preparation. So, you’ve done the route mapping and the itinerary planning - what next, you ask?
Today, we bring you an all-inclusive list of the clothes and accessories one will require on this epic journey to Ladakh, Spiti Valley or Zanskar Valley! Let’s begin.
These are some important basic items that should be on your list for your Ladakh or Spiti Valley or Manali-Leh road trip. This list can be very long, depending on the individual. For example, I like to go fully loaded, not leaving anything to chance as I am a believer in never compromising on your safety and the safety of your bike.
Think of the emergencies that might arise and prepare according to them. Also, the above list depends on the route you wish to take and the places you wish to visit in Ladakh. Other factors that might impact your list are what bike/vehicle you’re taking, whether you’re traveling alone, what season you’re traveling in etc.
I don’t know where to post this, so posting here. This video is about the list of things which one can carry if on a long off-road drive and can help in case they get stuck badly in between.

Great THANKS for this, you have covered most of the questions that I had! Thank you again for that. I'm from Latvia, it's in east-northern part of Europe. I'm planing my trip to Leh with a motorcycle. I plan to go, your suggested rout "The ultimate Ladakh trip" that starts with Kargil road, then Leh, then Nubra Valley, (I will include Turtuk), then direct road to Pangong Tso, back to Leh and then Manali road. As I will ride from Deli with rented bike, I will have to rent a bike in Leh (as you explained in one of your videos) to go round trips in Leh and then switch between them when I will go back. I have an proposal for your next video. It would be great if you could explain in a single video these details. How to make a single motorcycle trip if you are a foreigner (and include all details) Then I have a question regarding drone videos. Is it allowed to fly a drone or you need some kind of permit?

@discoverwithdheeraj 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks a lot Martins for the suggestions and I will surely add it to my list of videos to make. Regarding drone videos, drone videography is not allowed legally in Ladakh as it is a border sensitive zone. In fact, I doubt in India it is allowed or there are any kind of clear rules for it. I may not be up to date but till about last year that was the case in general. In Ladakh, i highly doubt you will get any permissions to make such video legally. The videos or aerial shots you see in my videos, most of them are stock ones not shot by me. And till the time I don’t make that video of ultimate guide for Ladakh trip plan, feel free to keep commenting here or DM me on Instagram for working through your plan 😁😁

Sir, I am 63 and would like to complete Leh Ladakh tour via Srinagar in coming July/August. I am from Pune and riding fz25 solo. Having good health, completed many tours on bike , but southern part of india. can ride 400-500 in a day. What basic aspects should I keep in mind to enjoy tour ? No restrictions of days..

@discoverwithdheeraj Жыл бұрын

Sir, the most important thing to keep in mind is to travel slowly, gradually increasing altitude while taking rest overnights that does not fatigue your body. Hence, you need to travel via Srinagar Leh Highway, rest in Leh for couple of days, then visit Nubra Valley, then Pangong Lake, then other areas like Hanle, Umling La, Tso Moriri Lake before coming back from Manali Leh Highway. Rest you can start from this video to get an idea of the itinerary:
