We are kind of slow and relax type of traveler. Enjoying nature and local culture.
- If it is advisable to rent a motorbike/car and do our own moving around upon reaching Leh?
a) If yes, do we need international driving license?
b) If it easy to get petrol along the way between Leh - Pangong Lake and Leh - Turtuk?
c) Any recommended motorbike/car rental?
-
if not advisable for (1) above, any drive that his service is being recommended and what kind of cost that I should budget in?
-
We are budget traveller but at the same time would like to help the locals. Any guesthouse/homestay that highly recommended? We are looking for nomad style especially in Leh/Pangong/Turtuk area.
-
Do we need to engage with a guide for Manali local sightseeing? Possible for us to rent a motorbike to move around in Manali area or by walking it is do-able?
-
Between Jul and Aug - which month is recommended as we would like to avoid the crowd?
-
We are considering to do a camel ride, or overnight in the desert for Leh - Turtuk leg. If this advisable or do-able?
thanks in advance for any sharing.
