Hi,

I along with a friend are planning a Road trip in Mid Aug 08. we'll start from Delhi - Manali - Leh and then back.

Looking for some partners, as a bigger group is always better for such rides.

We will be passing from the world's highest pass,in other words its not a easy ride. We would need to make a lot of preparations.

Please respond, so that we can plan out accordingly.

Hi,

Are there any places on the way between Delhi and McLeod Ganj that are worth stopping for? I'm debating between flying and taking a bus, and I would choose the latter if there are interesting things to see on the way.

Also, what is the best way to get from McLeod Ganj to Leh?

Thanks!
