Nice to see a ladakh preperation guide..soon going to upload it on my channel in Hindi.

“Don’t get ready, Stay Ready” this attitude will take you long way and make your ride more easeful. Most important point in-case of breakdown, first check fuel level in the tank before anything else. People tend to open the whole bike for searching the problem and most times the fuel tank is dry. 1. Firstly make sure your bike is well maintained and is properly serviced 2. Tyres Get your bike tyres checked and if necessary get new ones especially the rear one. Make sure you get off-roading tyre(s) 3. Chain Check for chain sprocket, if it has broken gears (teeth) get it replaced. Also get the chain setting done from mechanic. Make sure you inform the mechanic if you are riding solo or with pillion and he will do the chain setting accordingly. 4. Suspension / Shock observers Check Suspension / Shock observers and break shoe. Make sure you carry the rear shocks nut-bolts along with spare chain locks. 5. Chain Clean & Chain Lube Must have, Every morning before resuming your ride. Spray the chain cleaner, keep the wheel moving for 5-10 mins and spray chain lube after that. Daily practice will keep your bike chain assembly well lubricated & functional. 6. Air Filter Check and change if necessary. 7. Battery Water / Engine Oil Check and top-up as necessary. 8. Clutch cable and Accelerator Cable Put new ones and carry one spare clutch cable and accelerator cable for the ride. 9.

Helps in many ways to put your stuff together and easy to manage 13.Petrol Can Must have. There are areas where the distance between 2 fuelling stations is more. For example the nearest fuelling station after Tandi is located at 365 kms at Karu. (Manali-Leh route) 14.Carabiner Must have, comes handy and easy to use for last moment mountings. For example bathroom slipper can be easily hooked to it 15.Waist Pouch Must have, useful to keep documents, eatables, fuses, cable ties, nut-bolts and some smaller spares. 16.Tail Bag Optional. However proves to be useful if your stuff exceeds. 17.Tank Bag Must have. Proves to be very useful and handy while on the go. 18.Riding Jacket Must have, no compromise with safety. Preferably go for jackets with armours. 19.Reflector Belts Must have, makes you visible from a distance and also distinct from others. 20.Riding Gloves Must have, no compromise with safety. 21.Woollen Gloves Good to have if atall you may feel the chill. 22.Thermals / Long Jhons Must have, keeps you warm in cold weather 23.Warmers A modern and handy pouch that will keep you warm for 8 hours. 24.Gumboots Must have once you start from Manali.

In case if you have not seen my ladakh tour video then ... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g8t2gLSB0rDRoH0.html

The kind of video i was searching on youtube for ages..!! Finally !! Nice work bro

Bro i am going to ladakh on my bullet classic 350 i will keep in mind all this before my ride i hope it will help me alot thank you nikhil😊😊😊!!!!!!!

watching it for the 2nd time and love that song ' on and on ' your ladak ride is the best i've seen on youtube man !!👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Very honest and a very much required detailed review on the things necessary for the Ladakh ride. It is a dream destination/ride for most of us because of which sometimes we tend to forget many things to take on the ride. i would blindly suggest this video to anyone who asks me for the Ladakh ride preparations.

Everyone took the video seriously but unnoticed the title. :P Nikhil please make the correction. Ladakh*

thanks Nikhil , I was planning fr this trip, as me Nd my Wife v are solo rider Couple ( too hv a KZfaq Channel) thanks for making my ride more smooth through this video

Thank you very much MumBIKER Nikhil I loved the vedio, I found your ride journey was a good source of information gathering and All the best for your next venture..👌👌!!

the best guidance you get on how to prepare for any trip and not just ladakh. Great work man!!

Hit like if you think nikhil bhai is rocking 2017.... Yesterday's video was awesome.todays is brilliant.. That's our DESI NEISTAT moto edition.

love to hear the song "on and on" at the end. its just suit the video.

Thanks for this video dude, I was preparing watching ur old Ladaki videos .... big thumbs up Nikhil

Wonderful pointers A couple of things I always carry when riding long distances 1. A torch or a head lamp 2. A tool kit for the bike - i assemble my own along with a few spare fuses, cable tie, mounting tape 3. A pump or CO2 cartridge 4. A bottle of water or a hydra pack incase u re stranded in the middle of no where 5. Consider heated grips for cold or rainy climates

last scene (pangong lake) was the best short of yours 😍

Bro You are my Motivation👌

Thank you so much Nikhil ....I will surely keep in mind all the things you suggested before going Ladakh..

Good informative video .....One thing I thought of is person traveling to Ladakh needs to continuously keep hydrating as you dehydrate because of altitude and cold. Ideally take ORS which is available at any chemist and mix it water to hydrate yourself. Diamox (altitude sickness tablet take at 12 hr interval ) will reduce the phosphorous in your body which will be compensated by ORS and keep you well hydrated.

Hi Nikhil, Happy new year...ur videos are amazing..specially this one...you have made for preparation for the trip to Ladakh. You told in one of ur earlier videos that you wanted to go to the seven sisters.
