Ladakh is a stunning region located at an altitude of 10,000 feet. Known as “Little Tibet,” this largely Buddhist area is celebrated for its rich Buddhist culture and breathtaking landscape. Often referred to as the “Land of High Passes,” Ladakh attracts visitors with its unique blend of scenic beauty and cultural heritage. Historically, it was a vital crossroads on ancient trade routes from South Asia. Until the late 19th century, mule trains transported shawls and spices from Amritsar through Ladakh to Yarkand in China.

The people of Ladakh are a blend of Tibetan and Indo-Aryan cultures, and the region became part of independent India in 1948. Ladakh is a land of extremes, where snow-capped mountains and clear blue skies coexist with arid sand dunes. Azure lakes flow alongside some of the highest mountain peaks, and the road conditions vary between rough and smooth, making it one of the most sought-after destinations for a Motorcycle Tour to India.

Embarking on a Motorcycle Tour to Ladakh in Himalayas is not for the faint-hearted. With resilience and determination, riders can conquer the rugged terrain of the mighty Himalayas. This Himalayan adventure motorcycle trip, known as the “High Altitude Motorcycle Expedition Tour,” involves staying overnight at elevations ranging from 3,000 to 4,600 meters. Riders will traverse the highest motorable roads, including Khardung-La Pass (17,582 feet), Chang-La Pass (17,560 feet), and Tanglang-La Pass (17,480 feet). The tour also includes visits to three stunning lakes: Pangong Lake, Tsomoriri Lake, and Tsokar Lake, as well as a unique Double Hump Camel Ride in the sand dunes of Nubra Valley.

Riding Royal Enfield Himalayan motorbike on these high mountain passes and experiencing the Himalayan landscape is a lifetime moment for any motorcyclist. We invite all thrill-seeking motorcycle enthusiasts to join our High Himalayan Motorcycle Adventure Tour on the legendary Royal Enfield motorbike to test your limits and embrace the thrill of the ride.
