Mountain
Biking to Ladakh
2 Nights Delhi 2 Nights Manali 3 Nights Leh hotels
and 6 Nights lodges and camps |
From Delhi, we take the night
bus for Manali. We reach Manali the next day afternoon.
You will ride in the surroundings of Manali, apple
orchards, villages, hot spring etc. From Manali,
the actual biking tour starts with a gradual climb
to Marhi at 3000m, just half way on the Rothang
pass. The landscape changes when we cross Rothang
la (3980m) and we are surrounded by Himalayan
Mountains. We require at least 2 nights stay in
Jispa for acclimatization. |

Here, you will
get acquaintance of Buddhist Culture. We make
excursion to Keylong, the district head quarter
of Lahol- Spiti. Here you will visit Gemur Monasteryand
royal castles. One- hour easy biking brings us
in Darcha from where a steep climb begins crossing
Zing Zingbar alll the way upto Barlacha-La (4830M).
We further ride in this rugged country and reach
Sarchu(4253m) where we sleep in tents. After biking
along the 21 loops, we arrive Namikala pass. Pang,
which is 77km from Sarchu and at an ultimate challenge-
Tanglang La (5065m) pass, the second highest motorable
pass in the world. This is the point for an unforgettable
view. |

Another 199-km
push brings us to Upshi announcing one's return
to a civilization-no less than Indus valley civilization.
Now Leh is 51 km. We reach there late in the afternoon.
Leh, situated at 3505 m is the capital city of
Ladakh- the little Tibet. In Leh, you will visit
Shey monastery which is medieval Buddhist architecture.
Thiksey monastery is built on high rock and is
reminiscent of Potala Palace of Lhasa. This is
a superb viewpoint to Indus Valley. We visit Hemis
Monastery, which has mysterious atmosphere where
monks mumble their parchment praying rolls surrounded
by very old statues of Buddha, scarcely lit by
butter. From Leh, you would love to climb 40 km
to reach the highest motorable pass in the world-
Khardung La that is 5602m from the sea level.
You will be one of the few pioneers who achieved
this top ever since this pass was opened for tourists
in 1994. From Leh, you will fly back to Delhi.
