On the way to Delhi airport, heading for Leh, the capital of Ladakh. An introductory ride for the fittest. For the others, a rest to acclimatise to the altitude before setting off on this fabulous India motorcycle tour, in the Himalayas.

Today is the big day! We start from Leh in the morning, leaving for the Indus gorges in the west. We reach Lamayuru monastery perched atop a cliff. It is perhaps one of the most prestigious and oldest Tibetan gompas in Ladakh, where around 200 monks and lamas live.

On this stretch of the tour, we can admire and visit several remarkable monasteries, such as Likir or the amazing Phyang monastery with its 900-year-old museum. We return to Leh, where we can spend the rest of the day at our leisure. We recommend taking a walk through the little market streets.
