Hey fellows, im looking for some advice for a bike trip. Hope this is the right forum for it!
Some words about me: im 21yrs old student from Germany. Last year i traveled some months around in india - one of the very best times was riding around Leh with a Enfield! Pangong Lake n Nubra Valley was breathtaking! So im infected with the Enfield virus... :D
I needed to go back. So im back to india from 23th June to 9th July. After meeting some friends in mumbai i would like to do a trip - so here comes the question:
Ive got max. 10 days for a bike trip (including find & rent a bike) in the monsoon time!
Option:
A) Drive around maharashtra or maybe Goa. (rent bike in mumbai?) Visit places like Pune, Mahabaleshwar and discover new places. The relaxed and easy tour/ not sure how much rain i will bear in higher areas like hillstations.
B) Fly from mumbai to chandigarh. Rent a bike and drive to direction of Shimla and discover Uttarakhand. Destinations could be Gangotri (400KM oneway from Chandigarh), Manali(300KM onewy from Chrdg.) The adventure tour/ could be stressfull bc not much time/ amazing nature and landscape!/
So please tell me about ur experience or what u would suggest me to do.
Im not sure about the facts like where and how much it will rain? / how available are bike rent in chandigarh/ mumbai? how is should prepare with clothing?
Or what are alternative routes to take in that time? (I also maybe take a friend with me on the bike)
Iv i would have time for a month i defintitly would go to Himalaya again ;-) in any way i will tell u guys what i did on my journey!
Many greetings from germany!
