Oases and Peaks at World’s End

Motorcycle Tour in Himalaya

15 stages - 810 miles
jantar mantar new delhi india
1/15 • Arrive in Delhi
Your first day is all about a smooth arrival in Delhi: you’re met at the airport and transferred to the hotel in the city centre. Your room is available from noon onwards. You have two options: you can stay at the hotel and rest after the flight or go out and explore India’s bustling capital.
nature mountains himalaya
2/15 • Delhi - Leh
We set off for Delhi airport for a domestic flight to Leh. We use this day in Ladakh to acclimatise. You meet your tour leader, who will be pleased to introduce you to your motorbikes.
monk monastery ladakh
3/15 • East Indus Valley
This first day allows you to stay at the same altitude and acclimatize well, while getting to grips with your bikes! Today's objective is to discover some of the most beautiful monasteries of eastern Indus Valley.
62 miles
royal enfield tours himalayas india
4/15 • Leh - Lamayuru
We start our morning in Leh and head west along the majestic Indus River. We take the road towards Kargil, heading for Kashmir. We reach Lamayuru monastery perched atop a cliff.
93 miles
trip to himalaya motorbike
5/15 • Lamayuru - Temisgam
We continue west between the Zanskar and Ladakh mountain ranges and over Fotu La Pass. We cruise through vast, arid landscapes peppered with oases until we reach the village of Bodh Kharbu. We leave the main road to take a small mountain road through a fascinating valley which meets the Indus Valley. We then follow the course of the sacred Indus River, which gave India its name, and finally reach the village of Temisgam.
90 miles
6/15 • Temisgam - Leh
We head towards Leh on a small road north of the Indus Valley through Hemis Shukpachan. We make the most of this short leg by visiting several sites: Likir monastery, the picturesque village of Yangthang, or Basgo, which was once the royal capital. We return to Leh and can spend the rest of the day as we wish.
71 miles
highest road himalaya
7/15 • Leh - Hunder
We climb up a series of hairpin turns towards Khardung La pass, the highest motorable road in the world at 5,370 metres above sea level! The scenery is magical with the Zanskar range to the south and the Karakoram mountains to the north. We descend through the Shyok and Nubra valleys, where time seems to have stood still. At Khalsar, we turn northwest towards the Hunder sand dunes.
80 miles
motorcycle road trip india
8/15 • Nubra Valley
A return trip to another world, that is the Balti region, where Shiah Muslims form the majority, and a part of Pakistan until the war of 1971. Faces, clothing, food, it’s all different from the Buddhist Ladakh you’ve seen so far. We ride between the Ladakh and the Karakoram ranges; we feel small. A long distance but the road is rather in a rather good condition. Leisure stops on the way like the Shyok Memorial, and a Balti cuisine lunch before we walk around then head back to the Nubra Valley, a ride equally captivating in the opposite direction.
114 miles
lake himalaya india
9/15 • Hunder - Lake Pangong
We enjoy the sublime Nubra valley in the morning light, only to leave it fairly quickly and follow the course of the Shyok into a monumental valley, where we are like tiny ants! We pray that the weather or the glacial floods haven't dismantled the road, and by the time we reach Tangtse, we can consider ourselves out of the woods. After a frugal local lunch, we drive to and along what is a pure jewel of natural beauty, the immense Pangong Lake, straddling the Indo-Tibetan border.
121 miles
tso moriri lake himalaya
10/15 • Lake Pangong - Lake Moriri
We follow an unconventional route, adding several mountain lakes to the picture, as well as a pass higher than the Khardung La, at 5437 meters above sea level!!! It's a magnificent day, in a wild and unspoilt environment. This region is called Rupshu (or Changtang), and it's the most isolated part of Ladakh, home to cashmere goat herders, and Kyang (Tibet's wild donkeys) in abundance.
93 miles
tour friends himalaya india
11/15 • Tso Moriri Lake - Leh
To round off this trip in style, we offer you your longest stretch of track on the same day, a passage through the Tso Khar basin, a magical place that makes you believe you're in Mongolia, a final high pass for fitness (Tanglang La, 5340m), and the Rumtse gorges with their unique rock spectacle.
149 miles
temple himalaya india
12/15 • Leh
Today is a free day in Leh (a buffer day, just in case). You can take a bike ride to Stok palace or buy some souvenirs for your friends and family.
himalayan temple india

indian temple himalayas
14/15 • Delhi
You have a free day in Delhi today (buffer day). Among this hustle and bustle, havens of peace do exist: recharge your batteries in Lodhi Gardens, admire the Lotus Temple’s modern architecture or discover the capital’s mini Taj Mahal, Humayun’s Tomb, another UNESCO World Heritage Site.
