What are the pros and cons of travelling solo?
Advantages of traveling solo:
You have a flexible itinerary and can go wherever you want to. Even if your heart desires to camp at Pangong Lake for the whole week, you are free to follow it!
It will cost a lot less if you are traveling alone than if you are going in a group.
It is necessary that you have complete control and knowledge of your bike. This happens only if you are riding on your own vehicle. You know exactly how much brake is essential to stop at gravel. With tour groups, you will have to get familiar with a new vehicle and it might take time and also be risky.
If you are a rider of some sort, you always know that your loved vehicle deserves a ride through Ladakh. That is reason enough!
Disadvantages of traveling solo:
Though people are friendly in Ladakh and there is far less security issue than any other part of the country, the problem is people are very few too. You can well be stranded and not get noticed till days.
Secondly, it could be quite of a struggle figuring out routes, lodging and bargains if you are traveling alone. Focusing on the road gives you less opportunity to follow the map rightly. There is ample chance that you miss an important turn.
