Right now Mohit is busy exploring Southern India to bring back all the information you'd require to visit the place yourself. Literally or just at Wildlywise. Once he gets back, read his account of what he calls his most exciting trip (if there can ever be such a thing!) biking to Leh from Delhi with a couple of friends. This account should also give you all the stuff you might want to know if you're interested in doing a similar trip yourself this year once the passes open in May/June.
