ladakh/zanzkar trip - August 2011

Hi guys,


I am a french guy living in south india for a while, and i am seriously thinking to go for a moto trip in Ladakh in August,(date to discuss), starting from Manali.

Check out this blog (Ladakh, Heaven on Earth, YogeshSarkar.com) especially from day 4 ...

it looks amazing !

My idea is to rent pulsar 180 CC in Manali (i am neither a hardcore biker nor a mechanician, so no Enfileds for me!) , and get inspiration from the route described in this web site ...

If you feel interested to join for the adventure, feel free to contact me !

India to Leh

I have taken this trip two times and it is the most awesome riding I have ever done. If you like mountains and fast running rivers this is the trip for you. It is very very remote so I would suggest a Royal Enfield and there is a guy called Anu in Manali that has very good new bikes. Very reasonable and well cared for. I can get you his web site but I deleted it from my favorites as I was not planning on going back to India. You should be able to find it easily by doing a search on the net. Enjoy

web site

I found that web site for Anu. He only uses real parts and keeps a very good shop. He sends spare parts with you as well. We ran into many on the road that had bad cheap Chinese parts. One had 3 sets of rear wheel bearings but we rode two up for 30 days and had no problem except a flat tire and that was fixed for me by the Army convoy. It is a great trip and I can not recommend it enough.

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.
