Manali-Leh road trip is going to be beautiful. However, make sure that you have proper gear because it will get colder on higher altitude. Also, make sure that you rest for a day after reaching Leh before heading out for other places so that you can get acclimatized to the low oxygen levels.
If you want to know about some places to visit, you can check out my profile. I'm in the process of publishing my 7 day trip there.

Hi Santosh, Manali to Leh road trip on bike, solo is very much possible. However, acclimatization is very important which a lot of travellers ignore. The day you arrive Leh, don't step out. Even for local sightseeing. Just get enough rest and keep yourself hydrated. Many people take diamox, a preventive medicine for acute mountain sickness prior to travelling. Consult your doctor before starting a course of diamox. Lastly, it's going to be a beautiful ride and you'll make memories that you'll cherish forever. Happy travelling :)

Going solo is good, if you enjoy riding solo. If not go with couple of friends. Know well about your bike (shipping your own bike is better than renting), reads lot of blogs to understand routes and challenges, do not rush (acclimatize well), start riding early in the day and wind up soon... If you need more help If you want detailed itinerary connect with me on Instagram @lifeoutsidecubicle or in facebook @ourlifeoutsidecubicle , will help as best as I can. Happy riding

You can go on a solo bike trip there but only if you know riding very well because the roads are very tricky, slippery and you have to cross many waterfall crossings. Also don't forget to carry waterproof boots and raincoat and a proper riding jacket. And before leaving manali, do check your bike for faults and defects because you won't find any mechanic or filling station for 365 kms.
