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
