Delhi-Leh-Delhi Ride (14 days)

This Ladakh motorcycling adventure takes you from the flat lands of Delhi, up into the green valleys of Manali, into the stark and dramatic landscapes of Leh, and all the way to the paradise that is Srinagar. You'll ride with an experienced road captain and a mechanic, alongside a group of like-minded bikers. During the day, you'll see spectacular views of snow-capped mountains, ride across streams of melting glacier waters, and thunder through high-altitude roads that lead through pine forests and barren mountains. At night, you'll camp in comfortable tents or stay in hotels and drift into a relaxing sleep after a day spent outdoors.

Please note that price displayed is the per person price for a booking for one motorbike rider and one pillion rider.

Please note that an additional refundable, security deposit of INR 7,000 per motorbike, not included in the cost displayed, is to be paid directly to the tour operator before start of the Ladakh motorbiking trip.

Destination

Your motorcycling adventure across Ladakh begins in the capital city of Delhi, and takes you through the fields and farms of Chandigarh, and up to the grasslands of Manali. As you pass through the forests and orchards around Kullu, the landscape begins to change. The greenery clears away as you climb to the high-altitude Rohtang Pass, and then drive into Sarchu. Brown mountains and grey sand dunes of Ladakh begin dominating your view, replacing the meadows of Manali.
