Contrary to popular belief, a road trip doesn't mean taking car due to
impulse and visiting the various location. There is lot of systematic
thought and planning involved and lot of groundwork to be done before
beginning the adventurous trip.
First and foremost task is to pick the destination, out of which you have
to identify the best route to reach the place. How are the road conditions,
In which season or weather condition your trip is going to happen, will; i
be able to drive throughout the trip, whom should i take along on the
trip, proper eatery and lodging available on the route, safety and tour
expenses should also be kept in mind before conceptualizing the tour.
All these factors should be taken carefully into consideration before the
journey starts.
Here's a list of things you need to remember which are jolted down from

1. Your Ride
When you plan to travel in India, keep in mind India offers all types of

and get prepared for untoward situation or circumstances occurring
during the trip.
2. Your Target Destination
The diverse topography of India ensures that there is always a tourist
season somewhere or other. Don't hesitate to use flight or train for the
trip instead of personnel car. I have friends who have transported their
bullet bikes using train to Jammu before embarking on the famous Leh-
Ladakh-Rohtang-Manali road trip.

fuel indicator to hit the red mark. Tank up whenever the is 20% fuel
remaining.
