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.

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.
Riding Gears :
Helmet, Riding Gloves, Jacket,Knee pads,Boots
If you want to enjoy bike trip but need a backend support you can take help of travel companies. You can visit or contact Experience Your Stay With Fun and Freedom , they are travel company who provide good Bike Trips to Ladakh.

You can attend the morning pujas and kirtans and meditate at the ashram, later in the day you can go out and surf, if you dont know how to, you can learn as well!

I am off to visit the Snake Boat Race in Allepy this weekend but here are my few recommendations for your solo trip to RISHIKESH. Non Touristy Season: The plus point about going in August to Rishikesh is that it would be less touristy. However, given the heavy rainfall, River rafting and other river adventures are suspended in August. What to visit: Ram Jhula, Lakhsman Jhula, Garud Chatti fall and Neer Garh falls are few places that you can visit. IF you are a Beatles' fan don't forget to miss the ashram near Lakshman Jhula where they had stayed. It has some lovely wall graffiti. I would highly recommend Ganga Aarti at Har ki Pauri. I have recently returned from Varanasi and the Ganga Arti there is also breathtaking. Aastha Path or Marine Drive of Rishikesh is a walking path by the river Ganga and it's a lovely place to spend some time by yourself. Where to stay: If you are traveling on a budget consider staying at Zostel / Moustache Hostels. Cafe: Hide out Cafe near Sai Ghat is good :) Hope this helps. Richa

Hi Udit,
Why not? Liverpool has many attractive places where you can spend your weekend.
The Beatles, Liverpool Football Club, and their renowned Anfield stadium—one of the most significant in the country—are perhaps the first things that come to mind when you think about Liverpool. There is also the exceptional Scouse accent, of course. The eastern bank of the Mersey Estuary acts as Merseyside's geographic center. The Mersey is almost a mile broad and empties into a basin that is three miles wide. Liverpool has one of the world's largest ports and is not tide-dependent. https://travellifo.com/best-tourist-attractions-in-liverpool-14-attractions/ (Leeds' Top Tourist Attractions)

AnswerWishlistHi Shahin, Kodaikanal Lake, Bryant Park, Silver Cascade Falls, Coaker's Walk are some of the many places to visit in Kodaikanal. There's a lot to do and see in Kodaikanal, depending upon the extent of your stay. Please go through the following article for more information.
UpvoteCommentKodaikanal is fondly called as the Princess of Hill Stations and is a popular vacation destination for families in South India. The breathtaking backdrops will definitely charm any tripper. With multiple alluring viewpoints, chilly climate and massive Kodaikanal Lake filled with water lilies makes it the best place for honeymoon couples.
The best period to visit Kodaikanal is September to May. Try adventure sports like horse riding, boating, and trekking. Some of the main tourist attractions are Coakers Walk, Devils Kitchen, Kodaikanal Lake, Pillar Rocks and Bear Shola Falls. It is the perfect spot for honeymooners, family trips, nature enthusiasts and solo trippers who love to explore the unknown. Do taste homemade cheeses, brownies, hot chai and chocolates from the street shops.

I haven't been to Mandawa, but I have stayed very close to it, at a place called Fatehpur Shekhawati. Mandawa and Fatehpur have beautiful old havelis which will take you back in time. The small town has a laidback feeling where you would be lost in the old charm. Apart from the havelis, you also have temples to visit. I would suggest 'do jaanti balaji' 'dholi sati' and 'laxminath temple' in Fatehpur. Do jaanti and laxminath are famous ones. You can try moodi, kulfi and others outside do jaanti. It is also famous for a painting on its ceiling which has a chariot with seven horses. No matter from which direction you see, you feel the horses are coming in your direction. Beautiful illusion. Dholi sati has lot of temples inside it, all in white and marble and since it is less crowded, it will give you a feeling of peace and serenity. There is another temple called budhgar ji ki mandi which is at a small hilltop and has a very beautiful view. Hope you enjoy your trip :)
