For us bikers it is a dream to kick start the bike & go on a long ride in to the Himalayas. Three of us started off to a journey of approx 3400 km from Delhi.

> Leh - Khardung La- Diskit - Panamik - Hunder - Leh.

> Leh - Pang - Sarchu - Tendi - Jispa - Keylong -  Rohtang - Manali - Chandigarh - Delhi.
