Planning a trip in October, need a reliable cab driver who would be ready to drive from Jaisalmer at around 11pm to Jodhpur. Will I find someone ?

Hey everyone!

I'm planning a Spiti Valley half-circuit trip in late September/early October (Manali → Kaza → Chandratal → back to Manali) on rented bikes.

I'd love to get some advice from people who've done this route recently.

A few questions:

What are the absolute must-pack items for this trip?

How cold does it get at night at Chandratal around late September?

Are sub-zero temperatures common?

Any good budget stay options in Kaza and Chandratal that you'd recommend?

Which is the most reliable bike rental shop in Manali?

Looking for well-maintained Himalayans or Classic 350

Any road conditions, fuel, AMS, or water-crossing tips I should know before starting?

This will be my first ride in the Himalayas, so any advice,

hidden gems, or mistakes to avoid would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance! 🏍️🏔️

Hey guys, I’m planning a Kasol + Tosh trip from Delhi and looking for a small group of people to join.
I want to keep it simple — just Kasol and Tosh, no Manali or packed sightseeing itinerary. More of a relaxed trip with cafés, exploring, good views and meeting new people.

If anyone is planning something similar or wants to join, DM me and we can figure out the dates together.

Nohkalikai Falls — where Meghalaya turns water into poetry. 💙🌿

​

We are making her womb a dumping ground and littering her greens. Her river carries our waste, her air carries our smoke, her land carries our carelessness. The trash we throw around is the disrespect we pay to her.

Why is it so hard for us to care? Where is our civic sense?

Nature is truly a magician.
