good to ride but with care
It is right that July & August are the rainy months in India. But you can still ride in these months if you have no other choice. Even this is a good time to ride to Himalayas as route to Ladakh only remains open from June to September. So July and Aug are the good.
You may experience many dry days in a row or rain continue to many days. And in some days you may experience that it rain for an hour and then stopped for the whole day.
So basically weather has become very unpredictable these days due to the global climate change, but still we can rely on weather forecast services. they are giving good predictions. You may plan for a week according to weather prediction.
If plans to ride to Himalayas then consider a few points.
- In rainy season landslide may occur, if there is heavy rain. So plan accordingly.
- there are many check posts on the way to Ladakh where you may be stopped to go further if there would be any risk. So always take buffer days in your itinerary. Some times it take whole day in clearance of road blockage.
