A Roar in the Mighty Himalayas

Riding in the Himalayas, was always A dream.. wanted to make it come true!
So Started Planning..
Last year planned to Roar in the Himalayas,but didnt have time to execute and more of it didnt have too many friends to join me!
To whomever i propose the plan of himalayas "ARE YOU CRAZY?? abe saale zyaada kaam mat kar, abhi se paglagaya lagraha hai..." these were the words from my friends..

so as usual the plan was cancelled.. and as u know MIND doesnt stop thinking about it.. when ever i see some blogs by my fellas or some pics of the snow capped mountains, water from the stream passing in between the mountains..i used to go crazy.. and then NO i am going to himalays let me do this time SOLO... who ever joins me or not i m not cancelling this plan!!

But couldnt stop asking my friends..Again went to them.. trying to convince, forget asking i was on to begging them lets do it this year..
And This year, Penning down the plan was my job, and some of my friends said 2 weeks is too much dude!! i cant get so long vacation. so no other go, i had to make another plan for a week..

We had a gathering.. to discuss about the plan and just had a estimate (I was very mean, i was calculating very small amounts so that these buggers get ready for it and then let the trip cost go higher later, they wouldnt have any othergo but to spend) but still "Are yaar bahut zyaada hai.. itne mein to Singapore ya Malaysia jaake aasakte hai.." i was lyk myself for proposing the plan to these or should i kill these Ba*****s??
I made up my mind.. NO Himalayas is not going to work with these kinda thinkers, for that u need a Keeda "Biking keeda"

Then asked few of my office friends but then some of them cancel right away and some say let me think on it.. but there was a guy who said Dude!!! this is wat i was looking for, he had planned for last year too. but cancelled b'cse of his friends... so he @ 1 shot told "let me know ur plans i have 2 more friends, i shall check with them too", so i shared the plan in which we can cover the himalayas in just 8 days?? but then we thought are we making justice by just planning for 8days, when every place needs atleast 1 or 2 of your days...

and then here was the plan earlier..

Day 1 Bangalore to Srinagar
Day 2 Srinagar to Kargil
Day 3 Kargil to Leh
Day 4 Leh Getting permits
Day 5 Leh PangongTso Upshi
Day 6 Upshi to Tsokar to Pang
Day 7 Pang to Manali
Day 8 Manali to Mandi and to Delhi
Day 9 Delhi to Bangalore

Got comments suggestions from so many xperiences. so modifying the plans and after so many iterations to this plan, and Then the final plan was for 16 days
