Ladakh Essentials

Motorcycle Tour in Himalaya

10 stages - 510 miles (820 km)
Arrival in Delhi Stage 1/10
Arrival in Delhi
You’re met at the airport and transferred to a hotel in central Delhi. You can spend the rest of the day as you wish.
Delhi - Leh Stage 2/10
Delhi - Leh
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.
Leh - Lamayuru Stage 3/10 87 miles (140 km)
Leh - Lamayuru
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.
Lamayuru - Leh Stage 4/10 93 miles (150 km)
Lamayuru - Leh
We take our bikes on several roads to Leh. 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.
Leh - Pangong Stage 5/10 99 miles (160 km)
Leh - Pangong
We leave early and head east towards the Chinese border. After visiting Thikshey monastery, we start driving up to Chang La pass at 5,300 m (17388.45 ft.). We then ride down on the other side to the 80-mile long Pangong Lake, a natural boundary between India and China. The last 25 miles (40 km) are a fairy tale, especially when the late afternoon sun gets involved
Pangong - Hunder Stage 6/10 112 miles (180 km)
Pangong - Hunder
We ride again on the beautiful route of yesterday for over 25 miles (40 km), this time with the morning sun. We then descend along the beautiful Tangtse Stream, which flows into the Shyok River and its beautiful mineral valley. We stop for a picnic on the riverbank, then we keep riding towards Hunder along winding mountain roads with the imposing Karakoram mountain range on the horizon.
Hunder - Leh Stage 7/10 78 miles (125 km)
Hunder - Leh
Our last riding day! We head south towards Khardung La, the highest road in the world (5370m / 17388 ft.) dominating the Indus valley and the city of Leh. We enjoy the view over Leh and start our descent down the beautiful zigzag roads offering incredible views for the last 25 miles (40 km).
Leh Stage 8/10
Leh
A free day in Leh (buffer day!). We can visit the Shanti Stupa, the Royal Palace or the Tsemo Gompa above, or purchase some Ladakhi souvenirs.
Leh - Delhi Stage 9/10
Leh - Delhi
You have an early morning transfer to Leh airport for a domestic flight to Delhi. You’ll then be transferred to your hotel. Enjoy a free afternoon in Delhi.
Delhi - Delhi airport Stage 10/10
