From whatever research I have done, it is possible to rent Bullet 500cc or 350cc bikes, but I did not see mention of modern bikes. I am not too particular to hire a Bullet and would rather prefer a Pulsar or equivalent and if they are not available, may be smaller bikes. Bajaj Avenger is my ideal choice though.<\/p>\n<p>I will be on Manali approximately on 5th of June.<\/p>\n<p>Now the info I am looking for.<\/p>\n<p>1. I am wondering if any of these bikes can be hired in Manali or Bullets are the only available choice.<\/p>\n<p>2. I have nearly a week for biking ex-Manali. I am thinking of riding to Darcha and back to Manali, and then via Kunzum La to Kaza and back. I presume road to Darcha would be bikeable anyway, but how about the road to Kaza? Is it worth taking? Or should I simply head to Leh instead?<\/p>\n<p>3. I also want to bike to Sangla, but doing it from Manali would be too much. Will there be any bikes available for rent in Shimla?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in advance for all the information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I posted some questions about Himachal Pradesh in a forum, but could not get any answers.
