Know Before You Go Manali To Srinagar Via Leh Bike Trip From Delhi:
- All riders must not forget to buy knee and elbow guards. It would be good even if pillions too buy the same.
- Don't forget to carry the hard copies of all the documents which have been shared with you. We need it during the briefing session.
- Accessories: Sunscreen lotion SPF 50 and above, Sunglasses, Skull cap, warm gloves & woollen socks during the night.
- Daily use packs: Face cream, lip balm (always keep in your pocket), petroleum jelly, cold cream (Himalaya or Nivia), Tooth Brush, Toothpaste, liquid soap, toilet paper, shampoo, towel, deo, and waste bin covers to dispose of any unwanted things.
- Short bites: It's essential to carry a few short eats or eatables like dry fruits, chocolates, energy bars, and water bottles.
- Medicines: Personalised first aid kits, Diamox, disprins, and basic medicines for fever, stomach upset, vomiting & etc.
- Documents: Original Driving license, Aadhar card or Passport, 2 passport size photographs.
- ATMs: Leh being the headquarters of the Ladakh region, you will get a couple of good banks and ATMs which work round the year, but sometimes it might be interrupted due to bad weather conditions and heavy snowfall. There are at least 5-6 ATMs available in Leh town.
- Mobile connectivity: Only post-paid sim cards will work outside J&K and Ladakh regions, you can get a prepaid sim card in Leh on arrival. But there is always a restriction on buying a local sim card since it is closely located to border areas. Only BSNL, Airtel and Idea work in Leh. Apart from Leh, no other regions like Nubra or Pangong will get a proper network. It depends on the weather condition.
- Internet connectivity is also fluctuating always, sometimes there is no internet and phone connectivity for weeks. So better be prepared for complete disconnection from other parts of the world!
