 | A good pair of gloves because wet hands are a pain in the ass. When it’s snowing en route, you’ll want your hands to be warm and cozy – no matter if you’re in a car or a motorcycle. | |||

 | Think this is just accessories adding to fashion and not having any real utility? Think Again. Muffles and scarves are so integral to your journey, especially if you’re embarking on the journey on a motorcycle. | |||
 | While I know this is environmentally disastrous, do carry plastic-polythene bags to wrap around your lower or riding pants in the form of gaiters. You can even wear them on your socks for added protection. This trick will ensure that no water is seeping into your shoes, making your feet wet. But, please be mindful and do remember to bring them back. | |||

 | Buy knee guards and elbow guards. Do not, in any case, ride without protective clothing or protective guards. Also, a good quality full-face helmet with a clear transparent visor (not the dark or chromed one) is essential. | |||
 | Make a small bag just for the riding, and in this, you can keep the medical kit and toiletries that you might need on the way. Also, do remember to carry a head torch. | |||
 | Is there anything more important that comes to your mind when you think of embarking upon a Ladakh-Leh journey from Manali? A jacket is not your best friend. A jacket should be your body part. You should have it on you at all times. | |||
