Ladakh: The Ride of a Lifetime

Day 01 : Arrival at Leh

Welcome to Leh — the gateway to the Himalayas and the starting point of your Leh-Ladakh motorcycle trip. As your flight descends over rugged brown mountains and snow-dusted peaks, you’ll feel the excitement rising — this isn’t just a ride, it’s an expedition into one of the world’s most extraordinary landscapes.

Our team will meet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel in the heart of Leh. Today is dedicated to acclimatization — rest, hydrate, and let your body adjust to the altitude. Stroll through Leh’s vibrant bazaars or enjoy a quiet cup of butter tea as the golden light paints the mountains. 

In the evening, you’ll meet your tour manager, who will brief you about the terrain, weather, and riding etiquette. Then, you’ll meet your fellow riders — strangers for now, but soon to be brothers on the road. After that, you’ll be introduced to your partner in the mountains — your motorcycle. Take it out for a test ride, and if any fixes are needed, let our mechanic know. He’ll be with you throughout the tour to look after your machine.

Tomorrow, the engines roar to life. The adventure begins — a journey through high mountain passes, remote valleys, and timeless landscapes that few riders ever experience

  • Accomodation: Hotel
  • Meals: Lunch and Dinner
Day 02 : Leh – Alchi Monastery – Ulley (110 KM | 3-4 Hrs)

The first chapter of your Ladakh Motorcycle tour package unfolds as we mount our machines and trace the Indus River westward. The thrill of throttle and the crisp Himalayan air awaken your senses as prayer flags flutter above and endless peaks rise on the horizon.

Our first stop is the legendary Alchi Monastery in Ladakh, a thousand-year-old sanctuary filled with intricate murals and spiritual calm. As you ride deeper into the Indus Valley, the road winds past ancient villages and dramatic rock formations until we reach Ulley, wildlife hotspot for snow leopard tracking in Ladakh. Ulley is a high-altitude hamlet far from tourist trails.

The day’s ride is a gentle introduction — enough to feel the power of your machine beneath you and the freedom of the open road ahead. By evening, you’ll settle into your accommodation, surrounded by silence and starlight, dreaming of the roads still to come.

  • Accomodation: Hotel
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 03 : Ulley – Lamayuru – Dah Hanu (150 KM | 4-5 Hrs)

Today’s route is pure Himalayan magic — the kind that makes adventure Motorcycle tours in Leh Ladakh legendary. We throttle through winding roads that slice through barren canyons and wide valleys before reaching the mystical Lamayuru Monastery, often called “the Moonland of Ladakh” for its otherworldly terrain.

From here, we continue deeper into the frontier, heading toward Dah and Hanu, home to the Brokpa people — an ancient Aryan tribe with unique traditions and striking features. Riding into these remote villages feels like crossing a time portal, where centuries-old customs still shape daily life.

Every twist of the throttle today offers new perspectives: lunar landscapes, dramatic cliffs, and timeless cultures. By the time you roll into Dah Hanu, you’ll realize this is not just a tour —it’s a once in a lifetime experience.

  • Accomodation: Camp/ Hotel
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 04 : Dah Hanu – Shanti Stupa - Leh (200KM | 4-5 Hrs)

Adventure meets spirituality today as we make our way back to Leh. Riding along scenic river valleys, we pause at Sangam, the confluence of the Indus and Zanskar rivers, the  — a sight that perfectly captures the raw power of nature, 

This day of your high altitude motorcycle trip in Ladakh is all about contrasts: wild, roaring rivers followed by the serene white dome of Shanti Stupa, offering panoramic views over Leh town and the surrounding peaks. As you descend back into the city, prayer wheels spin gently in the mountain wind, and the energy of the Himalayas seems to hum beneath your tires.

The day ends with an evening in Leh — a chance to rest, explore local cafes, and rest because tomorrow you have to gear up for the wild, high-altitude adventure that awaits beyond the horizon.

  • Accomodation: Hotel
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 05 : Leh – Chang La – Pangong Lake (170 KM | 5-6 Hrs)

The true adventure of your Ladakh Motorcycle Tour begins today as we conquer one of the high motorable passes — the mighty Chang La Pass at 5360m (17,590 ft). The road is steep, the air thin, and every curve is a thrilling reminder of why riding in Ladakh is a bucket-list dream.

Beyond the pass, the landscape transforms into a painter’s canvas — glacial streams snake through barren valleys, and soon, the sapphire waters of Pangong Tso emerge on the horizon. This mesmerizing high-altitude lake stretches across two countries and shifts from turquoise to emerald as the sun moves across the sky.

Spend the night by your lake side accommodation, where starlight dances on the water and the silence of the mountains is broken only by the crash of water.

  • Accomodation: Camp / Cottage
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 06 : Pangong Lake – Rezang La – Hanle (170 KM | 5-6 Hrs)

After breakfast, you gear up and start your adventure as we ride towards Rezang La, a site of historic bravery and breathtaking mountain views. The ride is rugged yet deeply rewarding — a true highlight of any Leh-Ladakh Motorcycle trip.

By afternoon, we reach Hanle, one of the most remote settlements in India and home to one of the world’s highest astronomical observatories. Here, civilization fades away, replaced by a vast, star-studded sky that seems close enough to touch.

Tonight, as you sit under the Milky Way in a remote Ladakhi village, you’ll understand why this ride is so much more than just miles — it’s a journey into the heart of the Himalayas.

  • Accomodation: Hotel / Cottage
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 07 : Hanle – Umling La – Hanle (150 KM | 5-6 Hrs)

Today, you ride where few riders have ever dared — to Umling La Pass at 5798m (19,024 ft), the world’s highest motorable road. The air is razor-thin, the landscape raw and unrelenting, and every mile is a test of endurance and spirit.

This is the ultimate milestone of your Ladakh Motorcycle tour package — a moment where the machine, the rider, and the mountain become one. As you stand at the top of Umling La, flags fluttering wildly in the wind, you’ll feel a deep sense of achievement that few ever know.

Returning to Hanle by evening, every rider carries a story — of grit, glory, and the untamed soul of the Himalayas.

  • Accomodation: Hotel / Cottage
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 08 : Hanle – Tso Moriri (170 KM | 5-6 Hrs)

The road calls again, this time towards the breathtaking Tso Moriri Lake, hidden deep within the Changthang Plateau. The journey is remote and rugged — classic terrain for adventure Motorcycle tours in Leh Ladakh — with wild yaks grazing in vast meadows and nomadic Changpa camps dotting the horizon.

When the lake finally appears, it takes your breath away. Tso Moriri, with its shimmering shades of blue, is framed by snow-capped peaks and absolute silence — a place where nature reigns supreme.

This is Ladakh at its most raw and beautiful — untouched, unspoiled, and unforgettable.

  • Accomodation: Camp / Cottage
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 09 : Tso moriri – Thiksey Monastery – Leh ( 220 | 6-7 Hrs)

On your return to Leh, the landscapes unfold like a farewell gift from the mountains. We pause at the magnificent Thikshey Monastery, an architectural marvel perched on a hilltop, offering sweeping views of the Indus Valley.

This final ride captures the essence of a high altitude motorcycle trip in Ladakh — long, winding roads beneath endless skies, the hum of your motorbike echoing through vast empty valleys, and the deep satisfaction of a journey completed.

Back in Leh, we gather for a farewell dinner, celebrating the miles we’ve conquered, the friendships forged, and the adventure of a lifetime shared.

  • Accomodation: Hotel
  • Meals: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner
Day 10 : Departure From Leh

With hearts full and memories etched forever, it’s time to say goodbye. We’ll escort you to the airport for your onward journey, but part of you will remain here — on these high passes, along these winding roads, beneath these Himalayan skies.

Your Ladakh Motorcycle Tour may be over, but the spirit of the Himalayas will ride with you long after you leave.

Do I need a visa to travel to India for this motorcycle tour?

All foreign nationals require an Indian visa to enter the country. You can apply for an e-Visa online (available for most nationalities) — select Tourist Visa, valid for up to 30 or 60 days.
It’s best to apply at least 30- 45 days before departure. Carry a printed copy of your visa approval while travelling.

Do I need an International Driving Permit (IDP)?

Yes. If you wish to ride the motorcycle yourself, you must carry:

  • A valid motorcycle license from your home country (covering 400 cc+ engines)

  • An International Driving Permit (IDP) that mentions “Motorcycle” or “Two-Wheeler” category
    Indian authorities may ask for both at checkpoints.

How do I reach Leh, Ladakh?

You can fly to Leh Airport (IXL) from Delhi, Mumbai, or Chandigarh.
The tour begins and ends in Leh, so you only need domestic flights within India.
International travellers typically:

  • Fly into Delhi (DEL)

  • Spend a night to rest

  • Take a morning flight to Leh (approx. 1.5 hours)

Can I rent or bring my own riding gear?

You should bring your own riding gear (helmet, jacket, gloves, boots, knee guards) for proper fit and safety.
However, rentals are available on request — the team can help you arrange them before arrival.

What type of motorcycles are provided?

We provide the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 cc, known for stability and torque on high-altitude terrain. It’s a dual-sport motorcycle ideal for Ladakh’s mountain roads.
If you prefer not to ride, you can also join the tour in an SUV or as a pillion rider.

What riding experience do I need?

You should have intermediate riding experience — comfortable handling a 400 cc+ motorcycle, and able to ride 4–6 hours per day. The terrain includes mountain curves, water crossings, gravel and off-road stretches, so basic off-road skills help. First-timers to high-altitude riding are welcome — our lead marshal and support team guide you throughout.
