we always had trips , happen always overnight without any planning- but just get on to the vehicle with a couple of t shirts
and a jeans . We had trips which we set out without even knowing the destination – but deciding them on the way .
Gone were those days in our Engg College!!
Couple of my friends have office shutdown and forced leaves on year ends and they just utilize them to roam around North India .
And for the past 2 years , I missed them as I hardly get leave to join them . But this year I just decided to be part of
the trip no matter what .
As my friends had visited most of the places like delhi – jaipur – jaisalmer-Manali-Mussorie , we were left with places much more
up north . Most of guys would have guessed the destination by now . Yes its ‘Destination Leh ‘ .
We the lazy guys , who always had unplanned trips were a bit sceptical about reaching there , as there werent anyone whom we know
went till up there. But we wanted that to happen at any costs,so for us to take the things seriously we asked my friend to book
the flight tickets from Blore to Delhi . We have heard that the roads are closed during winter , so decided not to go in december but in
peak summer . July .Quick decisions , booked the flight to delhi for 16th night and hoped to be back on 27th night.
Everyone was busy convincing the managers for the leaves and on wondering how to get vehicles ( self driven to Leh ) .
Some net searches got contacts of Leaseplan.co.in , but they demanded corporate billing which we wont be able to get it .But those
floks were very help ful and gave us some other contacts of Eco car rentals .We got options to choose the vehicle from Ford Endevour , Toyota Innova , Honda Crv .Well we were 7 in total , so again the choice
was easy .Any guesses ??
Before going further with the travelogue , I would like to thank all the team bhpians who had written their travelogue to Leh Ladakh.
( posted before July – as I hadnt find as many of them as I see today in the forum ) .I thank Mr Sha personally for his advices , his directions , his tips on what all require and what not . Thank you so much Mr Sha.
A phone with him made us so confident and got something similar to a blueprint of the routes.Thanks again.
