What are the dates btw?

[instantsharma]

23rd Aug to 2nd Sept are the tentative dates chief

[Vaibhav Yadav]

I might have the complete tools set. I'll looks for it and update. Regarding rental bikes, do we need to carry tube or it will be available?

[dr_abbas]

Update on entering Chandra Taal region if entering from Losar ( Kaza side) or Koksar (Manali side).
It is advisable to cross the checkpost as early as possible.
There is no declared specific timing to cross the check post but the earlier it's done better it is as there is no network in that region so the disaster management teams does not allow late entry on that route.
There is no mobile network after crossing the check post and at Chandra taal region entry.
It's better to pre-book your stay at Chandra taal, only camp stays are available.
Few of the camp stays may allow to pitch own tent (on payment basis) and at their discretion only. No personal camping is allowed.

Awesome writeup Ash. It is actually giving goosebumps and good to see people/discussion back on forum like good old days. There is no 2nd thought that this ride is going to be full of life time memories. All the very best to all the riders.

I'm certain people must be having all the tools with them but let me know if tyre opening tools/rods with adhesives required. Or complete puncture kit required for tube or tubeless bikes.

Broh, today in our meeting, it was analyzed that we do not need any fuel or water carriers with us. So, we dont have to carry them in the backup vehicle. It will be handled.

So with these deletions, your list will have a new item i.e.x pulse clutch cable. So we will be carrying 2 cables for 4 bikes. 1 CP is getting and 1 is f or you to carry.

In addition we have to ensure all riders are carrying bike covers.

[79rajiv]

@instantsharma... noted. Have started arranging all listed items. 18 days to go..

[instantsharma]

as per recent proceedings we are pressing CTRL+Z and carrying fuel jerry can of 20LtsX1 or 2?
Route status updates and prep talks in person will be done at the upcoming weekly meet.

And we got our guest house booking confirmed at Katrain. yuhooo.
