People ask others, "lahaul spiti kiaa... killar kishtwad kiaa... gurudongmar kia... world ride kiaa.... lekin Laadaakkhhhh kia kyaa???"
So, now its time to ride to the Mecca of Indian motorcycle touring enthusiasts!!!

As for me, I am planning to ride from Kolkata (2.5 weeks plan) and join with my friends from Delhi (2 weeks plan from Delhi). But, if you wish, there are easy options to parcel your motorcycle to Delhi and start from there.

Full Plan (Kolkata - Leh - Kolkata)
Main Leg - (Delhi - Leh (via Srinagar) - Manali - Delhi)




Reference -

Things considered before Planning:
1. Ensure a minimum of 2 weeks leave if riding from Delhi (more than that if riding from any other place)

Leg 1 - From Kolkata to Delhi (1504 kms)
(Thoughts - As for me, I will ride this leg for sure, trying to cover as much distance possible on Day 1)
  1. Day A: Leave from Kolkata for Varanasi - 683 kms
  2. Day B: Varanasi to Delhi/Gurgaon - 821 kms
  3. Day C: Delhi - halt, rest, service motorcycle
  4. Day D: Delhi - rest and prepare for next day

Leg 2 - Delhi to Leh
  1. Day 1: Delhi to Jammu - 587 kms
  2. Day 2: Jammu to Srinagar - 293 kms
  3. Day 3: Saturday: Srinagar to Kargil - 202 kms
  4. Day 4: Sunday: Kargil to Leh - 210 kms 
  5. Day 5: Leh - Acclamatize and ILP


Leg 3 - Leh to Nubra and Pangong
  1. Day 6: Leh to Nubra (night halt) - 126 kms
  2. Day 7: Nubra to Leh (night halt) - 126 kms
  3. Day 8: Leh to Pangong Lake (night halt) - 147 kms
  4. Day 9: Pangong Lake to Leh (night halt) - 149 kms


Leg 4 - Leh to Delhi
  1. Day 10: Leh to Tso Moriri (night halt - http://tsomoririhotellakeview.com/) - 220 kms
  2. Day 11: Tso Moriri to Sarchu(night halt) - 229 kms
  3. Day 12: Sarchu to Manali(night halt) - 222 kms
  4. Day 13: Manali to Delhi(night halt) - 538 kms
  5. Day 14: Delhi (halt) Rest
(was unable to embed multiple destination maps for Kargil, Leh, Sarchu, Tso Moriri because Roads are closed now and Google does'nt show you driving directions. So, change the Depart time from point A to B, if you need to see it in maps)

 Leg 5 - Delhi to Kolkata
(Thoughts - Will keep a railway ticket booked from Delhi-Kolkata and transport motorcycle by train, if needed.)


  1. Day A: Delhi/Gurgaon to Varanasi- 821 kms
  2. Day B: Leave Varanasi to Kolkata- 683 kms

  5. As we all know about the place Manali which is situated in the Himachal Pradesh. It is a very cool place in comparison to other places of India like Kolkata thats why it is perfect for the summer tour. One can plan this for their tour and honeymoon during their weekend to spend this tim in a different way. You can easily plan for this place with your family and friends.
