Himalayan motorcycle tours happen during several times of the year. In autumn and spring, explore the Himalayan foothills and Uttarakhand during the dry season, with sunny days and pleasant temperatures. From June, the monsoon gradually sets in the plains, so it’s time to climb to Ladakh’s high plateaus, shielded by the Himalayan barrier. Oasis towns and high summits await along the Trans-Himalayan routes, ideal for summer riding. For our Tibet Gateway trip, we recommend traveling in September for the best weather. From the surreal light of Ladakh to the gorges of Zanskar, from the fertile Indus Valley oases to the spiritual towns along the Ganges, from the snow-capped peaks of Uttarakhand to those of Spiti, take off for a serene motorcycle tours in the Himalayas.
