Ladakh is a desert mountain valley located high in the Himalayan Mountains in the north part of the Indian state of Jammu & Kashmir. "Ladakh" means "The place of Passes". The valley is one of the least populated regions in India and is the gateway to the northernmost reaches of the nation. Ladakh attracts many bikers because of its undisturbed beauty and less crowded roads. The roads are rugged yet too scenic to be tired! The nature is truly in its best form and amazes us every single time. It is one of the toughest terrains in India but trust us, it is totally worth it! So pack your bags, set your riding gear and get ready to be mesmerized by the serenity of Ladakh India! As a traveler we are visiting & experiencing three lakes (Pangong Tso, Tsomoriri & Tso Kar. Worlds three highest passes Khardung-La, Tanglang-La & Chang-La. World high Altitude Coldest desert with sand dunes at Hunder & Sumur sand dunes. Oldest Monasteries, Border village & experiencing wild life. As a rider we will be experiencing riding on smooth tarmac to broken rods. Riding through bone chilling water streams to slush. Riding through sands to snow covered off roads. Riding along Indus river & Shyok River. Few patches we will be riding likes nomads. So basically this ride would be a real riding experience along with memorable journey.
