Good luck with your trip, don't forget your thermals, you will need them.

Yikes! I am not sure I have it in me to ride that road on the nicest of spring weather days...


Best of luck - I hope your ride goes well!

Don't forget your snow chains
Good luck you are one brave man

I wish we had snow chain manufacturers here in india.For now i am going without them.Saw somewhere that i can use nylon rope as chains for a short distance.So will be using that trick for now incase.

weather forecast show clear weather for this week so i am hoping not to find that much snow on roads.

Wow! I look forward hearing about it when you're back, take care!

So guys i am back from the trip and as there is no mobile connectivity and thus no internet there i couldnt post any pics for a week.

So here is a trailer of what it was like :

Background :

Visted Spiti valley in 2015 june/july and it was the first long run for me and the bull.Ever since i used to ask myself what it would be like to visit spiti in winters.That question was something i wanted to answer but couldnt do it last year due to less holidays in hand.I had joined THE BULLET CAFE last year after riding with them on the occassion of RE ONE RIDE.After doing a few weekend rides with them i told Sumit the owner of the cafe about the trip.He said he would love to join in.He became father recently and as such i was unsure about it.It was not a good idea as there are a lot of responsibilities involved.At one time i almost cancelled the trip but told myself that it could be the last chance i had to do it.I had made up my mind that i will be going to spiti for sure.Alone or with the group was still a question.

only a month left and i again asked sumit if he is going to spiti.He said lets do it in april or may which was not an option for me as i wanted to experience spiti in extreme winter and april/may were too late for that.I told him that i had taken leaves and i will be doing it in feb end solo.I started preparing for the trip and a couple of days later sumit told me that he will be going with me and asked me to make an event and share it on our whatsapp group.Names starting pouring and at the end the final list was of 7 riders.Dates were fixed and we were to leave Zirakpur on 25th and return by 2nd march.Got the things needed , prepared the bikes , changed tyres for more grip on slush and Sumit arranged for some extra help from a local resident of tabo Mr rajinder bodh who was in chandigarh.he was known to sumit's uncle.

Thanks.Everyone has it in them.its just some dnt know yet
a few years ago i was afraid of heights and now i am riding on oen of the worlds highest roads

Thanks mate.I have packed a couple of warmers.lets see how helpful they will be
