Get ready for the ultimate high-altitude expedition as you journey through the untamed beauty of Ladakh. This 9-night, 10-day bike trip is not just a ride—it’s a test of will, thrill, and spirit. Starting from Manali, ride across some of the highest motorable passes in the world, camp beside crystal-clear lakes, and venture deep into the desolate beauty of the Changthang plateau. The crown jewel of the journey is conquering Umling La (19,024 ft)—the highest motorable road on Earth, and witnessing Demchok, India’s final village before the Indo-China border. From lunar valleys to off-road river trails, this ride is crafted for thrill-seekers and explorers who live for the extreme.
Whether it's riding through the icy winds of Khardung La, stargazing beside Pangong Tso, or sharing stories with locals in remote Kuyul—every turn is a story, every mile is a memory.
