Overview
This 14-day Ladakh motorbike adventure is all about open roads, high passes, and landscapes that leave you speechless. Over 1,800–1,900 km, you’ll ride through some of the most breathtaking terrain in the world, crossing legendary passes like Khardung La and the world’s highest motorable road, Umling La (5,913 m).
The route takes you through the sand dunes of Nubra Valley, the quiet charm of Turtuk, the changing blues of Pangong Lake, the wide-open skies of Hanle, and the peaceful waters of Tso Moriri and Puga Valley. Every day feels different—turquoise lakes, rugged mountains, golden deserts, and small villages that seem untouched by time.
Beyond the ride, there’s time to slow down and enjoy the place. You’ll visit ancient monasteries and heritage sites, relax in natural hot springs, and spend time in Balti villages, getting a closer look at local life and culture. Rest days bring lakeside dips, evening bonfires, friendly games, and nights under clear, star-filled skies.
Riding with professional guides and full support throughout the journey, this trip is perfect for adventure lovers and photography enthusiasts looking for more than just a ride. The best time to do it is between June and September, when the roads are open and Ladakh is at its absolute best.
