Ladakh Biking

The 490 km (306 mile) expedition from Manali to Leh (Ladakh) (or in reverse) is one of the ultimate adventures for any experienced mountain biker.

Ladakh, situated above the Indus River at 12,000ft and isolated deep within the Karakoram and Zangskar mountain ranges, provides the most spectacular view and myriad mountain scenery.

We start the trip by flying from New Delhi to Leh (Ladakh). Isolated deep within the Karakoram and Zangskar mountain ranges, the upper Indus valley is a dry windswept moonscape. The exciting shallow slopes of the valley consist of subtle layers of pale amber, ochre, and sandstone, which twist and turn in a subtle dance revealing the geological history of this ancient land. 

Crossing the Himalayas from north to south, the route traverses four of the world's highest passes, including the TaglangLa at 5328-m (world's 2nd highest motor able pass). 

The best season for biking is late June – July through mid – August.
