We were 3 persons and I m writing total expenses.

Day 2

I took a flight from the airport and reached Leh airport by 6:30 in the morning.

Cab from Airport to the hotel- 200 (He was asking for 370 as this is base price but after coming out of the airport I found a cab who got ready for 200)

Reached hotel which was previously booked from OYO bt I told him that I have no bookings so I got to bargain and got the same room for RS 800

which I had booked for 1300.

Then took rest for some time and then went to the market where I took the permit for 600 per person. (Actually permit is for 500 but I booked through the agency as the the time it took for permit I visited many placed in Leh like the market Shanti stupa, Leh palace, Leh market, etc

I also want to have an activa for Leh local sightseeing but it was not available soo I Roam on foot.

Then we took back the bike with spoiled mood and our wasted time and asked the bike person to change the bike and then took Royal Enfield 500cc for 1200 per day.

But he took soo much time that we were able to leave for Kardungla at 2 pm. He even didn't give full fuel as by just arguing he gave 2 liters less fuel but I don't want to fight at that time soo I just kept going.

But I didn't pay him the rest of 800 (1200-1000= 200x4= 800) and told him to talk about it later.
