I am a cranky traveler or make that fussy. I plan a lot and sometimes miss out on spontaneity. But you have made travel so much fun. I loved all the pictures 🙂
Thank you so much. Yeah, it happens sometimes :), planning works too but it sometimes otherwise. I am glad you liked the pictures.

Hi Dheeraj:) Excellent article & I’ve been reading quite a few of them. Really impressive. Although Dheeraj, I would appreciate it greatly if you could suggest the best month to do a Srinagar-Leh-Manali trip on a motorbike. Shall await your response. Thanks, Kiran.
Hi Kiran,
Thanks alot 🙂
It is always nice to plan your journey in last 10 days of June or first 2-3 weeks of July when you can find ample of snow on roads and roads will be open by that time from both Srinagar as well as Manali sides to Leh. Now, please keep in mind that road conditions hardly improve on Manali – Leh road and remains almost quite challenging + adventurous all throughout the season. It improves slightly towards the end of season that is September or October first week but by that time snow is all gone. So, you need to be prepared for all the adventure that Manali – Leh Highway present to a traveller in the month of June – July and situation worsens when monsoon comes in late July and August. So IMHO, overall whatever best window you will get so that you avoid monsoons, see ample of snow and roads are open for you will be like 20th June – 20th July window.
If you want to see beautiful colours of Ladakh then second half of September is THE best time to visit Ladakh when these colours are oozing out vividly and of course, the road conditions does get better in late September type when rains reside the region completely.

Those who like to travel, sometimes, do not get a chance, they only imagine , read, and try to feel good. Some who travel a lot hate it and wait to get home.
but , you have the desire and the opportunity, and the will power. You are enjoying this, and also giving us readers a lot of joy, reading about your good times.
Thanks.
