We had trips which we set out without even knowing the destination &#8211; but deciding them on the way .<br \/>\nGone were those days in our Engg College!!<\/p>\n<p>Couple of my friends have office shutdown and forced leaves on year ends and they just utilize them to roam around North India .<br \/>\nAnd 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 <br \/>\nthe trip no matter what .<\/p>\n<p>As my friends had visited most of the places like delhi &#8211; jaipur &#8211; jaisalmer-Manali-Mussorie , we were left with places much more<br \/>\nup north . Most of guys would have guessed the destination by now . Yes its &#8216;Destination Leh &#8216; .<\/p>\n<p>We the lazy guys , who always had unplanned trips were a bit sceptical about reaching there , as there werent anyone whom we know<br \/>\nwent 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 <br \/>\nthe 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 <br \/>\npeak summer . July .Quick decisions , booked the flight to delhi for 16th night and hoped to be back on 27th night.<\/p>\n<p>Everyone was busy convincing the managers for the leaves and on wondering how to get vehicles ( self driven to Leh ) .<br \/>\nSome net searches got contacts of Leaseplan.co.in , but they demanded corporate billing which we wont be able to get it .But those <br \/>\nfloks 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 <br \/>\nwas easy .Any guesses ??<\/p>\n<p>Before going further with the travelogue , I would like to thank all the team bhpians who had written their travelogue to Leh Ladakh.<br \/>\n( posted before July &#8211; as I hadnt find as many of them as I see today in the forum ) .I thank <b>Mr Sha<\/b> personally for his advices , his directions , his tips on what all require and what not . Thank you so much Mr Sha.<br \/>\nA phone with him made us so confident and got something similar to a blueprint of the routes.Thanks again.<br \/>\nSome teaser pics..<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding:6px\">\n<fieldset class=\"fieldset\">\n<legend>Attached Thumbnails<\/legend>\n<div style=\"padding:3px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/travelogues\/272756d1264353624-rookies-set-trip-unknown-land-img_4287.jpg\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/travelogues\/272756d1264353624t-rookies-set-trip-unknown-land-img_4287.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click image for larger version\n\nName:\tIMG_4287.jpg\nViews:\tN\/A\nSize:\t768.1 KB\nID:\t272756\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/travelogues\/272757d1264353779-rookies-set-trip-unknown-land-img_4172.jpg\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/travelogues\/272757d1264353779t-rookies-set-trip-unknown-land-img_4172.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click image for larger version\n\nName:\tIMG_4172.jpg\nViews:\tN\/A\nSize:\t687.3 KB\nID:\t272757\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/travelogues\/272758d1264353779-rookies-set-trip-unknown-land-img_3935.jpg\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/www.team-bhp.com\/forum\/attachments\/travelogues\/272758d1264353779t-rookies-set-trip-unknown-land-img_3935.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"Click image for larger version\n\nName:\tIMG_3935.jpg\nViews:\tN\/A\nSize:\t953.0 KB\nID:\t272758\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p><\/div>\n<\/fieldset><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This trip is not anything new to the world of team &#8211; bhpians, but this was something which we were longing for over 6 months. 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 .
