Overview

The Manali–Leh highway is 479 km of some of the most dramatic road in the world — crossing 5 high mountain passes including Tanglang La at 5,328 m, winding through the Baralacha La glacier, crawling up the 21 Gata Loops in a single unbroken sequence, and arriving at Leh after 4 days of the kind of riding that makes you understand why people call this a bucket-list trip. This 9-day expedition packages the full experience: Manali start, the four-day highway crossing, acclimatisation and local sightseeing in Leh, Nubra Valley via Khardung La, Pangong Tso via Shyok Valley, and a return to Leh for your departure flight. A Royal Enfield 350 is included — the iconic Himalayan tourer that Ladakh riders swear by. A support vehicle (bolero or tempo traveller) carries your luggage and is there if a bike breaks down or a rider needs to sit out a section. [TEAM NOTE: Add what you tell first-time Ladakh bikers — the tyre pressure tip for high altitude, what to carry in the saddlebag on the Manali–Sarchu stretch where there is no petrol, or the feeling at the top of Tanglang La. Your riders' expertise is what sells this tour.]
