An unforgettable adventure of the Himalaya motorcycle trip

The Himalaya motorcycle tour offers an unforgettable adventure through spectacular landscapes, high mountains, and impressive culture. At the beginning, you will be picked up from the airport in Leh and taken to a charming hotel at the foot of the Himalayas, where you can recover from the long flight and acclimatize. Leh is known for the Leh Palace, also the King’s Palace, which was built in the 17th century, and is the perfect start for your enduro adventure. In the following days, you will explore the breathtaking passes and valleys of Ladakh, ride through high mountains, and experience the cultural highlights of the region. From passages over 5800 meters high to picturesque oases, each stage of this journey is filled with unique experiences. The adventure will also take you to the highest drivable roads in the world, giving you the choice to relax on rest days or take on more challenges. Before your return flight to Delhi, you will embark on the journey home with many unforgettable memories and experiences.

Daily program: Enduro Adventure in the Himalayas Umling La Pass

Day 1: Flight from Delhi to Leh

In Leh, you will be picked up from the airport and taken to a charming hotel at the foot of the Himalayas. After the long flight, it's time to relax and acclimatize. Leh is known for the impressive Leh Palace, built in the 17th century and once the royal palace. A perfect start to your enduro adventure.

Day 2: Leh and surroundings. 70 km

We explore the cultural and scenic beauty of Ladakh and visit remote valleys. The area offers impressive motorcycle routes with panoramic views of the Stok Kangri mountain range. Leh is also famous for its Hemis Monastery, the largest Buddhist monastery in Ladakh, founded in 1630. Your adventure is now within reach.

Day 3: Leh - Chilling - Alchi. 110 km

Today we really get started! Our motorcycle journey takes us over 3200 meters altitude to Hemis Supachen and further through a barren yet varied mountain landscape. We will finally spend the night in Alchi, a picturesque oasis in the Indus Valley. Alchi is famous for its monastery, one of the oldest in Ladakh, adorned with beautiful murals. Alchi is known for its unique Kashmiri influences in Buddhist art. In the evening, it's time to relax and gather our strength for the next day.

Day 4: Alchi - Hemis Supachen - Alchi. 110 km

An exciting day full of riding adventures awaits you. In the early morning, we leave the oasis and start on a small road into the Kangra Valley and continue into the Kullu Valley. After the ride through the Rohtang tunnels, we find ourselves in the midst of the high mountains. We plan two overnight stays in Keylong for acclimatization at 3200 meters.

Day 5-6: Alchi - Khardung - Nubra. 150 km

A spectacular day, even though the Khardung La Pass is no longer the highest in the world. We ride into the picturesque Nubra Valley. A rest day in Nubra or a small excursion to hidden villages. This day also serves as a buffer for weather-related delays. Nubra is known for its sand dunes and rare double-humped camels. The motorcycle journey continues in this fascinating region.

Day 7: Nubra - Pangong. 140 km

A true highlight in a motorcyclist's life! We ride through the breathtaking Shyok gorge to the turquoise Pangong Lake. Very simple yet functional accommodation. We find ourselves in a cultural landscape that resembles Tibet more than India. The Pangong Lake is known for being featured in the film '3 Idiots'.

Day 8: Pangong - Hanle. 140 km

Today we head to Hanle, near the Tibetan border. Our base for the Umling La Pass. Hanle is also famous for its observatory, one of the highest in the world, offering excellent conditions for astronomy.

Day 9: Hanle - Umling La - Hanle. 110 km

Today we tackle the highest motorable pass in the world. Still relatively unknown and only recently opened to the civilian population, it demands a lot from the riders and the motorcycles. For the overnight stay, we then return to Hanle. The Umling La Pass reaches an altitude of over 5800 meters and offers breathtaking views - the riding highlight of this tour!

Day 10: Hanle - Sakti. 190 km

Another exciting day of this enduro adventure awaits you: ideal for off-road fans. A mix of gravel and paved roads takes us into the Indus Valley. A highlight today is our lovely hotel in Sakti. Today we follow an ancient trade route that was part of the historic Silk Road. Sakti is famous for the Takthok Monastery, which is partially built into a rock face.

Day 11: Sakti

Today you can choose either to relax in the beautiful hotel or, if you're not yet tired, to conquer the Wari La Pass. Alternatively, you can take a taxi to Leh and use the time to explore on your own and buy some souvenirs. Sakti is also known for its rich culture and hospitality. Slowly, we wrap up this unique motorcycle adventure before the return journey begins the next day.

Day 12: Sakti - Leh - Delhi

Early in the morning, we fly from Leh to Delhi, from where you will begin your home flight.

Day 13: Delhi - Europe: Arrival Home

After an unforgettable motorcycle journey full of adventures and lasting memories, you return to Europe.
