Ladakh Trans Himalayan Tour

Is Riding over 18,000 ft mountain passes your thing? Then you’re in the right place!

The superlative majesty of the Ladakh region, its 22,000+ ft glaciated peaks visible on every horizon, communicates a true sense of the scale of our planet and how humble our own small place within it actually is. Covering up to 800 miles during our Ladakh Motorcycle Tours, we will commence in Leh and explore the awe-inspiring, cliff-hanging monasteries of the Buddhist faith. Along with that, we will navigate countless switchbacks over some of the highest road-going passes in the world and negotiate terrain as challenging and diverse as you are willing to endure.

What will you explore in our Ladakh Motorcycle Tours?

Our expedition will cover the lush valleys of Lamayuru and Temisgam, the world’s highest passes of khardung La and Umling La to Cold deserts of Hunder and Summor, and the remote and pristine lakes of pangong Tso Kar and Tso Moriri. There is no avoiding a simple consequence of riding India’s “Top of the World”. Your mental and physical abilities will be challenged, but as a reward, you will leave with an experience that most will never even conceive. All inclusive adventure motorcycling expeditions to Ladakh with premium accommodations begin and end in New Delhi.
