  • I tried going overland by bike (Bullit500) on the dirt track called NH 21 many times, and only 4 was succesful either due to weather (often snowstorm in midsummer!) road condition and/or mecanical probs. Acclimatizing is a must and mandatory if you come direct from sealevel and isn't on suicide misson... still stupidity kills plp every year (it is, after all named the GREATER Himalayas) lethal stuff like pulmonal or cerebral oedema and coma [not to mention traffic, climbing and other accidents!

  • you'll definitely be better off flying with jet airways and the flight is a much better option than the drive up through the mountains

  • hi amy

    yes your so right.... but Jet left one hour earlier so IA was the only option (only seat was on business class 196$ (!) economy was full) ... i have flown JA from Leh down Delhi the year before and its for sure a better deal (newer fleet and better food) than IA. namaskar from copenhagen

  • anyone can send me more info about Leh? I will be there in Jan 2008, will there be too cold?

  • you from Hong Kong...? then YES!

see all

  • @PunKrockers182 Ji: Not a military, but Air India Airbus 320 on a domestic leg from Delhi.... And yes commercial planes are allowed, as it is the only large airfield in these part of the greater himalayas at amazing11,000 feet, but photo is official forbidden.

  • @fhegner Was it a military aircraft?? Are private planes allowed there or its an IAF base??

  • @amyishott

    The drive is for people who like adventure :)

  • Nice! I remember taking off from Leh in 2007. It felt like the plane would NEVER clear the mountains... Check out my videos from there - finally edited after 3 years :-S

  • if u r goin for the first time der is no point goin by air...leh itself doesnt have much to see...its the road(leh-manali highway) which has the eternal beauty..only a fool wud go by air for the first tym..

  • The decent into leh airport is like being on a light aircraft in the grand canyon....one min you just see mountain and snow, the next just blue sky!! amazing but the people in leh made my trip....go ut the tourist season.

  • I have been there once, my aunt lives there. It's a paradise on earth!
