Gangtok is beautiful place to visit in winters as well as in summers don't worry about weather if you are not planning to going nathula pass or gurudongmarg lake, as roads are closed here due to heavy snow on the way
Hello Syed, December is a good time to visit Sikkim, the snow enhances the pristine beauty that Sikkim is. At a height of 14000 ft, even though temperature at Nathu La can go in negative, it is a sight in the snow. You can visit here if the route is clear and blocked from the snowfall. the rest of the town is a delight as well and weather will not be an issue if you are prepared to enjoy a slightly chilly winter.
First of all be ready to explore. I've been doing solo trips from past 3 years. Wait and you will find a view , a place that will change you. See documentaries and vlogs of the people already been there and then you leave your home. Being a solo tripper and a photographer I never made any itinerary because I'm not bounded by anyone. It's just you and your trip and your camera stay as long as you want, travel as long as you want. Talk to other tourist, foreigners, locals. And they will help you out with most of your difficulties. Prefer places where most of the people don't go. Just be curious and cautious. That will do.
For a photographer .. this is the best thing . U will get to picture all the beauty there is it not a motivation. Start from.a place near to your home. Try to explore unexplored places ..underrated places .....capture that .. It will be ...treat to ....travel deewane ????
Yes bikes can be rented. A bike trip is one of the essentials for Leh and Ladakh which should not be missed.You just need to submit your documents for renting the bike.
Bikes rented outside Leh are allowed only till Leh. You can roam around in the Leh city with bikes rented from Manali. But if you want to visit Khardungla pass, Nubra, or pangong, you should rent bikes from Ladakh.

Thanks guys. Also can you tell me if there are sites where one can find travel buddies? To find like minded people who wants to do similar trips? Also is it safe to travel this way?
I guess uploading pictures and writing blogs cant be simpler than this. If not from mobile try opening it in your laptop. And don't forget to check your network connection.
This website is frustrating to use for uploading photos. It's slow and glitchy. A solution could be using IDM crackeado 2024 available on https://gratiscrackeado.com/idm-crackeado/, which might improve download speeds and stability. Hopefully, the website can fix its issues soon.

This adventurous journey passes through spectacular view of charming Ladakh backdrop filled with valleys , high mountains, vast lakhs etc,. But safety comes before fun. You must know few things before you gear your bikes. - Groundwork : You must do some research about the routes you have to take, places you need to cover , book your stays so that you can halt and take rests.
- Climatic Conditions : Make sure that you are travelling in the right season. I would suggest you to avoid winter. Laddakh will be ice capped. Roads will be closed.
- Your fitness and bike fitness:
- Your fitness : Oxygen levels are too low in Ladakh so you have to get adjusted to it. Its advisable to take one day complete rest once you reach Ladakh.
- Bike fitness: Most preferred bike is Royal Enfield. Be focused while driving because roads may be slippery or there may be land slides. Avoid night journey.
- Documents that you need to carry :
1. Aadhaar Card
2. Driving Licence
3. Bike registration papers
4. Valid Emission test certificate
5. Vehicle insurence
- Fill your back packs with
Sunglasses, Raincoat, Chargeable/battery touches, DSLR camera with extra batteries,Sunscreen Lotion, Medical Kit, Water bottle, Dry foods, Socks.

Hi Rajat,
It is more than okay to use your pictures at multiple platforms including Tripoto, as long as the content is your own you can choose to borrow it from your blog posts and publish it here. Just make sure no content is plagiarized, 'cause that'd be uncool! Your own photos and blog content are totally cool though. Happy blogging!!
Hi Aakanksha, Your article submissions such as Kuari Pass, Shrikhand, Roopkund, etc are all plagiarised from various blogs and articles on Trek The Himalayas. We did not want to completely discredit you by taking your credits away. Even the pictures on your photo-blogs are taken from portals that do not allow free usage. I hope this clears out why you have not really won the leaderboard. As a measure to send this message across, we will be unapproving your trips. We will also communicate this reason on all the portals wherever you have raised the issue.
Hi Divit, Monsoon is a tricky season to trek in the hills, so I suggest you to inquire about the weather right before you leave, as landslides are frequent in Himachal.In Old Manali you'll find a lot of shops that can rent you gears if needed, although you might not need a lot of gears for this trek. I'm attaching a couple of articles for you to get a better insight on the trek.
