Hmm nice guys enjoy yourselves. Would have lvoed to have made a ladkh trip but I tore my ankle ligament completely falling off on the descent from Sarpass. Has anyone here done the chadhar trek? or stok kangri for that matter.

4 days is not enough for a road trip.

Get a flight from Delhi to Leh.

Anything less than 2 weeks is a shame.

if you plan to go by bike, dont listen to anyone saying that the road is closed due to snow fall. This was told to us by a mechanic when we told him that we missed the return trip due to baralacha la being closed. He said "whats the big problem? just tie up your handkerchief to the rear tyre and ride..." We were dumb struck for a moment. We were like... "why the **** didnt we get this idea earlier?"
Also, carry a lot of petrol. we missed out the china border at siachin due to petrol rationing.

How does tying up a handkerchief to the rear tyre help?

it works as a makeshift snow chain. so that you dont have to wait till the army clears the snow.

yeah, you dont need awd for leh-ladakh. but if there is lot of snowfall, the army will stop all the traffic so just follow their guidelines with respect.
