An elevated tour in the heart of India

Welcome to the beginning of your motorcycle tours in India. You’re met at the airport and transferred to your hotel in central Delhi. Enjoy free time and a night’s rest at the hotel.

Head to the Delhi airport for the flight to Leh, the capital of Ladakh. An eye-opening walk is available for fit members of the group while the others can rest while adjusting to the altitude.

The big departure of our motorbike tours India! Cross the awesome gorges of the Indus River before riding the Khargil road. We head to Lamayuru; a monastery perched on a clifftop is the most prestigious Tibetan gompa in Ladakh.

We make our way towards the east with the Zanskar region by taking the Fotu La pass. Leaving the nice paved road for rougher trails, we cross a mountainous chain via a small valley joining the Indus River. We follow the sacred river through little villages immersed in Tibetan-Buddhist culture. Finally, we reach the village of Temisgam.

Today, we ride back to Leh. During this short 90-kilometer stage, we admire and visit several remarkable monasteries. Visit the Likir monastery or the amazing Phyang Monastery and its 900 years-old museum.

Climb an endlessly winding road to Khardung La. A 5,600-meters, it is the world’s highest drivable pass. To the south, stands a magical vista of the Zanskar Mountains while the soaring Karakorum range is to the north. Time stands still as we gaze upon this breathtaking landscape.

We enjoy this lighter day of motorcycle tours in India to appreciate the beautiful natural wonders of Nubra Valley. If the weather is good then we will go to Turtuk, a forgotten village at the edge of the valley near the Chinese border. Later, we head towards Summor Valley where we will stop for the night.

An early morning departure takes us on a small asphalt road along the river Shyok. We stop in the village of Diskit to visit the monastery dating back over 350-years. Enjoy a picnic on the banks of the river before taking the road to the 5,200-meter Wari La Pass. Finally, we ride back down into the Indus valley.

After leaving behind the Indus River and 6,400-meter Kang Yatse mountain, we tackle the climb up to Tanglang La. At 5,328-meters, the road is the world’s second highest drivable pass. Along a sandy trail, our motorcycle tours India take us to Tso Kar Salt Lake set in a breathtaking lunar landscape.

We travel deep into Rupshu Via a sandy, and sometimes stony trail into the most remote region of Ladakh. There we hit the famous turquoise lake, Tso Moriri. Enjoy an unguided visit of Korzok village, one of the few in Rupshu, and its small monastery or a walk along the lake.

The road back to Leh is a biker’s dream, complete with smooth asphalt and virtually no traffic. The winding road along the gorge shadows the river. The valley gradually widens and reaches monumental dimensions upon approach the capital Ladakh.

Enjoy a free day and a well-deserved rest. Optional visits to Stok Palace, the Shanti Stupa, and the city’s markets for souvenir shopping are available.

Morning transfer to Leh airport for the flight to Delhi. Transfer to your hotel once in Delhi.

Free day in Delhi, the massive and hectic capital of India. Amongst the frenzy, true havens of peace exist. Relax in the Garden of Lodhi, admire the modern architecture of the Lotus Temple, discover the small Taj Mahal of the capital, and the tomb of UNESCO World Heritage site Humayun.

The last day of your motorbike tours India. It’s time to enjoy your final taste of India with a bit of traditional spiced tea! Your room is reserved until 10am before transferring to Delhi International Airport according to your flight schedule. This is the end of our services.
