I just received a hot-off-the-press e-mail from info@travelhimalayas.in about a motorcycle trips in one of my favorite destinations, Ladakh, India. Are you a 1 per center? A Hamster? Belong to a Motorcycle Club? Tail Gunner or just want to take a Run? (Squids, stay away!) If you have been looking for a major and exciting adventure, Ladakh is the place with serious mountains that begin at 12,000 feet, dirt roads, high mountain passes including the always terrifying Khardongla Pass; just one of Ladakh’s many passes and the highest, motorable pass in the world – 5,602 meters…18,380 feet!
motorcycle adventure in Ladakh, India
Stop along the way to visit ancient monasteries, eat cheap and delicious food and enjoy an environment like none other in the world. Motorcycling in Ladakh is becoming very popular; we saw many individual riders and groups during our last visit in 2012.
For even more information about this particular ride, contact the tour operator listed above and for general Ladakh information, check out “Sheila’s Guides to Budget Travel” on the sidebar of this page. Steve and I have seen, and done, just about everything available in Ladakh; trekked, camped, suffered over what passes as “roads” in this Indian State and my guides give information and tell the unvarnished truth…
