  Tour Overview

In ten words

To the top of the world - mind-blowing riding and views.

Riding Level

High passes (up to 17,550ft) are likely to be rough at the tops. However, we have taken scores of people on this route, up to 70 years-old, so it is achievable to the average rider with a bit of teamwork and effort. Tarmac: 85%; dirt 15%.

The Adventure

Overall: approx' 850km Shortest day: 90km Longest day: 180km 2 days travelling 6 days riding 1 off-bike day

Pillion Rating

In places a challenging tour for pillions (and riders with pillions). Much of the route is smooth tarmac, but others are rough and sometimes rocky for short stretches. However, the back-up truck is always there if you need a bit of a break.

Accommodation & Meals

The venues and views are five-star, but although the accommodation is the best we can find in the area, choice can be a little restricted in some wild venues. Food (mainly vegetarian) is simple, except in Leh, where the tourist industry is more developed. Included meals: all breakfasts. Dining is extremely inexpensive.

Highlights

The world's highest rideable passes - Khardung La, Chang La and others. The markets of Leh; high-end camping and Bactrian camels in the serene Nubra Valley; amazing high-altitude Pinging, Tso Kar and Tso Moriri Lakes.
