A true place for all adventure enthusiasts. The Leh-Ladakh Motoring Expedition was nothing but a jaw dropping Experience.

The Ladakh expedition was an eye opener to the beauty of the Himalayas. I loved the team and the way they treat the clients. I would strongly recommend Triumph Expeditions to any adventurer.

The Leh-Manali Highway is a high mountain road situated in India. It spans over a length of 479 km (298 mi) among the Himalaya mountain range. It passes through some of the world’s highest mountain passes in the world, with a mean altitude between 2 to 3 miles above sea level. Uncertain weather, high altitude, extreme cold and no civilization for miles make this a very treacherous track.

Trip Details

Ladakh, the Land of High Passes is one of the most beautiful and coveted holiday destinations in India. It calls to people of all ages to come find themselves in this mesmerizing arid mountain plateau. Home to some of the highest mountain passes in the world.

This trip takes you from Srinagar in Kashmir, through Kargil, Leh and finally on the highest motorable road of the world. This bike trip through some of the most amazing roads in the world will leave you mesmerized by the sights that you will encounter- mountains, waterfalls, and valleys.

Route : Srinagar-Sonmarg-Kargil-Leh-Pangong-Nubra-Leh-Jispa-Manali-Delhi

Ladakh is open for tourists throughout the year, while the best period for the cultural tour is between April and October ending. For adventure tours from June to October is the suitable period. Most of the trekking routes are closed after November due to snow at high passes except the Liker to Khaltsey trek. The best period for Chadar-trek (frozen river trek) to Zanskar is from January to mid-March.

The festivals of Stok, Matho and New Year take place in winter and it is possible to visit monasteries in winters. There are few hotels and guest houses with heating facilities in Leh that provide accommodation in winter.

Triumph Expeditions organize bike and car trips at Summer and only car trips during winter.

Ladakh is spread over an area of 97,000 Sq. Kms and lies on an average of 3500 meters above the sea level. Ladakh has a population of around 1,70,000.

Itinerary

  • Day 1- Arrival in Delhi

    Arrive in Delhi on your own and meet the Triumph Expeditions team and your fellow riders in the evening.

    In order to provide you the information regarding the expedition, it is essential that you participate in an orientation session. After the session, the bikes will be allotted so you may take it for a spin and check if it’s aligned to your riding style.

  • Day 2 - Delhi to Chandigarh (321m)

    Arrive at the decided location early in the morning and meet our team and your fellow riders. After a quick briefing, we flag off from Delhi and start riding on the National Highway 1. Today’s journey will take you through places like Panipat, Karnal and Kurukshetra. Arrive in the city beautiful and check in to your accommodation. Stay overnight in a hotel.

  • Day 3 - Chandigarh to Manali (2050m)

    After having an early breakfast, check out from the hotel and hit the road. Initially, we ride through theplains in the State of Punjab and after riding for a few hours, we enter the State of Himachal Pradesh, also known as the ‘Land of the Gods.’ We will pass through the towns of Bilaspur and Mandi. After crossing Bhuntar, the ride gets exciting as we ride along the Beas River until we reach Manali. Later in the evening, go out and explore the colorful lanes of Old Manali, if time permits. Stay overnight in a hotel.

  • Day 4 – Manali to Sarchu (4290m)

    Keep yourself completely hydrated by drinking a tone of water as we are going to spend the night at above4000mt altitude. Today’s ride is one of the longest rides of the expedition but the adrenaline level remains high as the terrain is full of adventure. The landscape changes drastically as we enter the Lahaul and Spiti District. The lush green grasslands disappear and the barren slopes of the cold dessert take over. We continue the ride towards Jispa crossing the quaint mountain towns of Sissu and Keylong. After crossing Darcha, keep riding on the Manali-Leh Highway towards Deepak Tal. The road from here starts to ascend steeply towards the treacherous Baralacha Pass(4890m), negotiating Zing Zing Bar and crossing the stunning emerald lake, known as Suraj Tal. We continue our ride to Sarchu on the same road, although the terrain gets changed quite a bit along the way and Tsarap River is visible on the left side carving and raging through the mountains. Arrive in Sarchu later in the day and be prepared for a rather uncomfortable overnight stay in a tent.

  • Day 5 – Jun25 - Leh to Pangong

    Start riding after an early breakfast as today’s going to be a long but exciting day of riding. Water-Crossingsare a common sight on the road while riding to Leh and the ideal time to cross them is early in the day. Just after leaving Sarchu, we start to ascend towards Nakee La(4769m), crossing the zig-zag Gata Loops which is a series of 21 hairpin bends within a span of just 7km. The descent from Nakee La is barely even finishedand the ascent towards another high pass, Lachung La(5059m) begins.

    The descent from Lachung La brings us to the town of Pang(4600m) where we halt for Lunch. The landscape starts to change after crossing Pang and the plateau of Morey Plains starts and stretches for 45km.

    Closer to the end of theplains, we start climbing the Tanglang La(5328m), the highest motorable pass on the Manali-Leh Highway. Aftercrossing the 3rd high pass of the day, continue riding towards Leh along the mighty Indus River on theleft side. Reach Leh in the evening and relax in the hotel.

  • Day 6 – Local sightseeing Day in Leh (3500m)

    Replenish your energies with a healthy breakfast and enjoy a relaxing day in Leh. The first half of the day issaved for a regular check-up of the bikes and the rest of the day can be spent visiting a few sightseeing places in and around the city. Stop by the Leh Palace and enjoy the splendid panoramic views of the Stok Kangri mountain range from the terrace. You may also choose to visit the Shanti Stupa and the local market to indulge in some shopping and try out the Ladakhi cuisine at the local eateries. Spend the night at the hotel.

  • Day 7 – Leh to Nubra (3048m)

    After a rather relaxed day in Leh, we continue our expedition and start riding towards Nubra Valley through what’s considered the highest motorable road in the world i.e. Khardung La(5359m). The road towards the pass is well paved and tarred till the checkpoint near South Pullu and after crossing the checkpoint, theroad starts to get slushy with loose rocks on one side. Get yourself clicked after reaching Khardung La and hit the road quickly as it is not safe to spend much time on top of the pass due to the high altitude and thin air.

    We stop for a quick lunch after climbing down from the pass and then continue our journey. After riding for another couple of hours, we make a brief stop to visit the 32m high Maitreya Buddha statue in Diskit Monastery.

    Our arrival in the valley will be welcomed by the white sand dunes and the sightings of the double-hump Bactrian camels grazing. Stay overnight at the hotel/campsite.

  • Day 8 - Nubra to Pangong (4250m)

    After having breakfast, we start riding towards the most photographed destination in Ladakh, Pangong Lake. Despite the fact that we are not going to cross any high pass today, the ride should be quite interesting as we ride on the much less traveled road via Shyok. Most of our ride is going to be along the beautiful Shyok River and through the villages like Agham, Shyok, Durbuk, and Tangste. The road remains slushy along with some exciting water crossings and rocky terrain so being cautious is important. After crossing Durbuk, the last stretch of the ride is going to be along the lake. From the very first glimpse, the lake leaves an everlasting impression on the visitors. Get yourself photographed and just admire the wonder that is this shimmering blue lake. Overnight stay in tents.

  • Day 9 – Pangong to Leh(3500m)

    Wake up to an enchanting sunrise over Pangong Tso and recommence your Ladakh expedition. Today we are going to ride the same route that we rode yesterday and after crossing Durbuk, we will start climbingthe third highest motorable pass in the world, Chang La(5360m). After crossing Chang La, we halt for Lunch.

    After eating, we start our journey to Lah via Karu from where we start riding on the ManaliLeh Highway. Just before reaching Leh, we are going to pass through the Thiksey monastery and the popular Druk White Lotus School. There will be a short halt to explore the monastery and take some pictures. After riding for approximately an hour, we will arrive in Leh for the second time during the expedition. Stay Overnight in a hotel.

  • Day 10 – Leh to Kargil (2676m)

    The ride from Leh to Kargil takes relatively less time as the roads are in pretty decent condition. We bid adieu to Leh and follow the mighty Indus River towards Kargil on the Leh-Srinagar Highway. The landscapeis mesmerizing all along the way as we ride through a spectacular moonscape to reach Lamayuru, which is home to the highest located monastery in the region. Just after Lamayuru, we start the gradual climb towards the Fotu La(4108m) and after climbing down the pass we start the climb towards another high pass which is Namika La(3700m). Both of these passes are in the Zanskar range and take us into the Musbekh Valley. We pass through multiple picturesque villages en route to Kargil. Stay overnight.

  • Day 11 – Kargil to Srinagar (1585m)

    Wake up the chilly Himalayan air and get ready for what is going to be one of the most incredible riding experiences. We check out of our accommodation and start riding towards the Kashmir Valley via Dras, which is regarded as the second coldest inhabited place on earth. Just before reaching Dras, we take a short break at the Dras War Memorial. After Dras, we start riding uphill towards Zoji La(3528m) and the views from the top are just indescribably beautiful. After crossing the pass we enter the breathtaking valley of Sonamarg which is a major tourist destination. Another couple of hours of riding through the valley take us to Srinagar. Stay overnight in a houseboat/hotel.

  • Day 12– Sightseeing Day in Srinagar

    If paradise exists in this planet Earth, it is undoubtedly in Jammu and Kashmir. Dal Lakeis the main attraction point in the city. Also called the ‘Jewel in the Crown of Kashmir’ or ‘Srinagar’s Crown’, this stunning lake is the second largest lake in the entire of Jammu and Kashmir.

    The Shalimar Bagh in Srinagar is truly a colourful gift of the nature. Built by the Mughal Emperor Jahangi, this lush and green garden is jotted with rare as well as exoticspecies of flora and dates back to the 2nd century.Nishat Bagh is the second largest Mughal Garden in Jammu and Kashmir.

    Another quintessential lake in Srinagar, the Nagin Lake is also known as the ‘Jewel in the Ring’ and is amongst the most scenic lakes in Jammu and Kashmir. Pari Mahal is also one of the must visit gardens in Srinagar.

  • Day 13 – Srinagar to Pathankot (332m)

    Today’s ride is going to take us through the stunning valleys of Kashmir to the plains of Pathankot in Punjab. Although the distance is rather long, the riding pace should be quite swift as we will be climbing down and the road conditions are pretty decent. On the way to Pathankot, we are going to pass through two of the biggest tunnels in the region i.e. Jawahar Tunnel(2.85km) and Dr Syama Prasad Mookerjee Tunnel(9.2km). Arrive at the hotel and have a good night of sleep as tomorrow is also going to be a longday of riding.

  • Day 14 – Pathankot to Chandigarh (321m)

    Today marks the last day of this once in a lifetime adventure. We need to start as early as possible as the distance to be covered today is the longest on this 13-day expedition. The journey should be pretty uneventful as we are going to be riding on wide tarmac roads through the plains of Punjab and Haryana. Arrive in the capital by late evening and reach the very place where it all started from. Get photographed with the entire gang one last time on this epic voyage and bid farewell to your motorcycle and your fellow riders.

  • Day 15 – Chandigarh to Delhi (321m)

    Today we are going to ride the same route that we rode as second day.

  • Day 16 – Fly out from Delhi
