Seems like lot of people on this post have travelled in and around Ladakh extensively. Does anyone know how to get to daulat beg oldi from Leh?

In mid september, I will start a round trip from Srinagar to Leh covering Zanskar thne moving on to manali, Dharamshila and back to Srinagar via Jammu. I am really intrigued with Daulat.. this place has the highest altitude airbase in the world(claimed by India).

I have done Srinagar to Leh and back on motorbile twice. This time I want ot take it a step further and seems like it is not a perfect time of the year to go on these routes but this is the time I have. :-)

Any tips will be helpful!!

There is no way you can get to DBO. Army restricts entry there. Though ive heard that BRO is building a motorable road to DBO from somewhere close to Agham village. But the current way is from Marsimik La. After crossing M La you have the depsang plains and further you have DBO.

Indian citizens are allowed to go till M La top but no further. Foreign nationals aren't allowed there.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
