"Great Ladakh Expedition".
From the crowded streets of your city/town to the narrow and challenging paths of The Himalayas; no movie, book or guide can prepare you for the thrill of this amazing ride through green valleys, jaw-dropping views of the enormous mountain ranges and maroon hills of Ladakh.
Riding through Lahul-Spiti Valley, covering the most stunning and challenging terrains and some very high passes; Kunzum La-4550m, Baralacha La-4870m, Chang La-5183m, Taglang La-5359 and of-course the highest motorable road in the world at "Khardung LA-5580m".
Choose between the comfort of a SUV or the thrill of a Motorcycle. Most of them who've been to Ladakh suggests two wheels- more fun, more thrill, more dramatic.
A motorbike trip to Ladakh is the ultimate challenge for the adventure seekers. The high altitude, the harsh climate, the rough terrain and the narrow roads make it very difficult to travel in Ladakh. Additionally, the area is sparsely populated, and the bikers are not always close to civilization. The craggy terrains and the high altitude demand a focused attitude and strong determination. And needless to say, a motorbike trip to this forbiddingly beautiful region requires a "Strong Back" and plenty of "Staying Power" on your bike.
Now you'd better love your wheels & the open air for this trip, because you're going to be on the road for over 8-10 hours a day, for at least eight days, with speeds sometimes not exceeding 20kmph, since most of the roads are not really roads, just cut up mountains, sand, gravel and landslide spoils. Then why do it- the sight of the rugged snow capped mountains in between the handlebars, stretches of hovering mountains, riding along raging rivers, riding through calf deep glacial water crossing, taming hair pin turns on mind-boggling inclines and what not! That being said, riding through the region requires a quest for adventure and a certain amount of mental tenacity.
Every year thousands of Moto-Enthusiasts travel to this unforgivable land from their homes. They don't care about the dangerous roads, water passes or any obstacles in between routes. What they just care about is to reach the destination by feeling the flow of adrenaline in their veins throughout the journey and capturing the every beautiful moment in their eyes for forever and having their "The ride of the life".
