This is a unique motorcycle adventure in the Greater Himalayas that will test your riding skills and inspire the poet adventurer as you experience these surreal landscapes, cultures, and people. Traversing several mountain passes, you will be literally riding on top of the world! On top of it all, the remote settings and temporary settlements will give you a whole new definition to 'remote' and untouched.
You will stay for nine nights in various accommodations including hotels and tents. The start of the trip sets the tone for the rest of the journey and the end of the trip is an intimate moment to reflect, relish, and basically have one big party. The properties Karma Yatri uses at various locations, that serve as start and end points of the itinerary, are unique and carefully selected.
The properties combine the best in hospitality that the region has to offer, great food, and the ability for you all to behave like a group. Please note that although Karma Yatri provides blankets and duvets, it is recommended that you carry a sleeping bag for added comfort.
Transfer to the hotel and ensure that you spend the day relaxing and indulging only in mild physical activity. Keep vigilant for signs of AMS (acute mountain sickness). You will then have a meet and greet with the team.
You will get on your bike and do an exploratory circuit of the sights around Leh. You will cover easy terrain and encounter some traffic, but the ride is fairly relaxed and filled with stops.
Today's ride takes you across Khardung La at the elevation of 5,348 meters (18,400 feet). You will cross into the stunning Nubra Valley and ride to the sand dunes of Hunder after a stopover at Diskit Gompa.
You will ride through the Shyok Valley (if Wari La is open) and cross back into Leh via another spectacular road in these regions. This is a relatively unexplored part of Ladakh and thereby more special.
The ride to the iconic Pangong Lake takes you across Chang La (another 5,000 meters pass). The surreal beauty of this region and the colors of the lake from its first view to the ride along its shores will leave you amazed.
You will return to Leh on the same roads as the previous day. You will break the journey at a special spot and have a picnic lunch. Today is an interesting ride because of the ability to see it all again but from a different perspective.
You only have one planned activity which takes you on a rafting expedition on the Zanskar. The rest of the day is yours to spend in your own style and at your convenience.
You will return along now familiar roads, before leaving the highway and divert towards Tso Moriri. Another remote region of Ladakh, the transition in colors and texture and the extreme remoteness of the region redefine 'remote'.
You will wake up for an early breakfast overlooking the deep blue Tso Moriri Lake. You will ride along empty spaces to break for lunch at Tso Kar and cross over Tanglang La and the home stretch to Leh. Tour officially ends on this last night.
Today is at your leisure or you can depart from Leh.
Two decades of motorcycling and the opportunity to live in many parts of India and Europe. A passion that keeps growing with every riding season. New roads to discover, more friends to ride with is his mantra. He speaks Hindi, Kashmiri, Tamil, English, German, French and a smattering of other Indian dialects. A native of Kashmir means that a vast network that can be called upon in case of any emergency or contingencies.
This version of the ride focuses on the high altitude lakes found in the Ladakh Region, India. Pangong Tso, Tso Moriri, and Tso Kar are all located at an altitude of 4,000 meters. This trip is one of the more extreme circuits in the Himalayas. However, it's one of the most rewarding circuits.
Tso Moriri will enchant you in its remoteness, while the mineral lake of Tso Kar is a paradise for bird watchers. This circuit also allows you to ride in the More plains and approach Leh from the classic Leh-Manali Highway.
Chai or the omnipresent Indian tea is a very important part of your trip. From early morning starts to your numerous stops by the road, this (often) milky and sweet beverage is like a road trip elixir, warming you on those high altitude passes or providing a much-needed break for the bum sore you will inevitably experience on these roads. Food is a mix of local and continental, allowing you to experience the local cuisine but ensuring that your taste buds are not overpowered by the spicy Indian fare.
