we went up the manali Leh Early July last summer, and came back early august.
The road quality improves dramatic over this one month! River crossings in the way up had dissappeared on the way down.
Unfortunately, the Manali weather goes downthe drain in that same time. However, Once you crossed the first pass, you'd be fine and dry for at leat 90% of your trip.
Don't miss out on Pangong lake if you go. It's the most beautiful spot in LAdakh for us.
We went to the Nubra valley over the highest pass (claimed aroudn 5600m) and that was snowy and stone cold. Other than that it was perfect weather.
Scroll down a bit: There's some topics with info on reliable people to purchase/hire a bike from.
