“The best views come after the hardest climb”

When adventure comes calling it is time to challenge both your mind and body. It is time to pack your knapsack and head to the hills; it is time to traverse some of the most difficult terrains, it’s time to ride across some of the highest motorable passes; it is time to sign up for a Ladakh Motorcycle tour.

Summer time in India is the best time to ditch the plains which bear the brunt of scorching heat and parched lands. It’s time to find respite in the mountains and valleys of the Northern Tip of India… Ladakh, the crowning glory of Ladakh motorcycle tour nestled among the Himalayas.

On our Ladakh Motorcycle Tour you don’t just get to experience the unprecedented natural beauty around you but you also get to indulge your palate with some of the most scrumptious and healthy food options which is typical to the region. Enjoy dishes like Thukpa, a piping hot soup with noodles, veggies and meat; Chang, a warm brew of fermented millet with yeast, perfect for the weather; Skyu and Chutaki , stewed noodles made of wheat flour and served hot with meat or vegetables; Khambir, another delicacy, a thick traditional bread served with butter and tea. All these are super foods intended to keep you strong and hydrated at the altitudes you are traversing.

Festivals & Culture

The festivals in Ladakh are based on their traditional folklore, customs and traditions. They have a very vibrant culture which is evident in their celebrations. Some of the most famous festivals that you can witness while embarking on a Ladakh Motorcycle tour are the Sindhu Darshan Festival, saluting communal harmony on the shores of the Indus River; The Hemis Festival, hosted by the biggest and richest Buddhist Hemis Gompa monastery which sees the locals dressed in traditional wear and head gears performing the masked dance called Chaam to the beats of drums, cymbals and long horn. The week long Ladakh Festival celebrated in September is a sight to behold when the atmosphere just resonates with fun, excitement, dancing and musical concerts.
