Experience the top destinations of Ladakh on a bike from Chandigarh to Leh, Zanskar, Nubra, Pangong-Tso, Umling-La, Hanle, and more.

Pangong Tso Lake

The emerald beauty

You will never forget the first time you see the blue waters of Pangong Tso Lake. Park your bike on the mesmerizing shores and let its crystalline waters embrace your senses, reflecting the sky’s azure embrace. Feel the symphony of serenity dance upon Pangong Tso’s surface, whispering secrets carried by the gentle breeze. Perhaps the most well-known destination in Ladakh, the brackish Pangong Tso Lake is a sight to behold, no matter how many times you see it.

Zanskar Valley

Once a Shangri-la

Towering mountains of the Himalayas guard the majestic Zanskar Valley.  Visiting Zanskar reveals a world of untamed beauty where adventure and awe intertwine in perfect harmony. Famous for the frozen Chadar Trek in the winter, Zanskar offers an array of jaw-dropping sights, ancient forts and monasteries year-round. See the Zangla Fort and the Karsha, Stongday and Phugtal monasteries that dot the mountaintops in this rugged, ancient land.

Khardung-La Pass

The gateway to the Nubra Valley

Feel as if you’re on top of the world at the legendary Khardung-la Pass. Sip a coffee at Indian Army’s Khardung-la café and feel the air grow thinner, whispering tales of bravery and patriotism. The Khardung-La pass is the gateway to the majestic Nubra Valley and is often the first stop for our soldiers en route the Siachen Glacier. This will possibly be your first experience of a high-altitude pass and a visit to Ladakh without riding to Khardung-la is incomplete!

Nubra Valley

Home of the Bactrian Camels

Enjoy outstanding apricots and drink seabuckthorn tea at local cafes and eateries. Take a camelback ride and see the villages of Diskit, Hunder, and Turtuk. Ride along the Shyok River as it meanders through the the gateway to the Siachen Glacier – the highest battleground in India – and the world.

Hanle and Umling La

Only for the brave

Enter a world where the horizon merges with the heavens at Umling La—the highest motorable road in the world. Spend a night gazing at the heavens at Hanle, where the star-studded night sky unfolds its cosmic symphony, painting a celestial masterpiece. Experience tranquillity and solitude in this beautiful, arid landscape where mountain peaks, monasteries, and citadels appear to graze the heavens. Here, you can see Ladakh—and the Himalayas at their purest.

Leh City

Takes your breath away

Get ready to be enthralled in Leh—a city where time stands still, and every corner holds a story waiting to be discovered. Narrow alleys wind through a tapestry of traditional homes, adorned with prayer flags that flutter in the mountain breeze. Monasteries, castles and citadels perch on rocky cliffs whispering ancient wisdom, while vibrant markets beckon with their colorful treasures. Leh is a city filled with global travellers, food and cultures.
