Biking
in Ladakh |
 |
| |
|
If you are passionately in love with adventure sports, especially the ones involving the bikes, Ladakh Bike Expedition is the best one of you. This is a life time opportunity to ride to the highest motorable road of the world – Khardung la. Riding to the high altitude desert – Nubra Valley & to the high altitude lake – Pangong Tso, which is 1/3rd in India and rest in China is indeed a thrilling experience. |

Manali-Leh Highway |
The Manali-Leh highway is flanked by mountain ranges on both sides featuring some stunning sand and rock natural formations. The highway crosses many small streams of ice-cold water from snow-capped mountains and glacial melts without a bridge and it requires driving skill to negotiate fast-flowing streams. The landscape changes immediately after getting past Rohtang Pass and entering into Chandra river valley in Lahaul region. The mountain peaks are covered in snow and shine brightly in sun which offers awesome and breath-catching scenery. |

| Tanglang-La |
 You are now in the land where everything is superlative, including peace, solitude and the hospitality. The formidable Tanglang La stands between you and Leh. As you descend into Leh on the other side, Buddhism asserts itself gently and lovingly. The magnificent and legendary Shey and Thiksey monasteries rise out of the rock face as if they were born from the same tectonic movements that created the mountains themselves. |

Leh |
Like the weather-ravaged traders of silk and spices, who came before you on horse- or camel-back, even the hardiest of bikers will take a break in Leh. Today, it’s more Diesel jeans and North Face jackets, but it serves the same purpose: a place to rest your limbs, and as a launch pad for the other wonders around. Your biking agenda can take a break for a bit: recline in Leh’s cafes or stroll around window-shopping for trinkets and shawls. |
