Day 2
Day 02: Manali to Jispa(3200m) | 140km
Grade/Duration - Moderate/Approx. 8 Hours
Altitude Gain - 1150m
Highlights - Solang Valley, Rohtang La(Pass)
Today, we are going to ride towards Jispa on the much-celebrated Manali-Leh Highway. Leaving early is pivotal as we need to cross the mighty Rohtang Pass (3978m) early in the day before it gets too crowded. After crossing Rohtang, 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. Arrive at the destination early in the evening and have an adventurous overnight stay in tents.
Day 3
Jispa to Sarchu(4290m) | 90km
Grade/Duration - Difficult/Approx. 6 Hours
Altitude Gain - 1090m
Highlights - Deepak Tal, Baralacha La, Riding along Tsarap River
Keep yourself completely hydrated by drinking a tonne of water as we are going to spend the night at above 4000mt altitude. Today’s ride is one of the shortest rides of the expedition but the adrenaline level remains high as the terrain is full of adventure. 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. Just after crossing Baralacha, halt for some time and have some well-deserved lunch near Bharatpur. 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 night of sleep.
Day 4
Sarchu to Tso Moriri(4522m) | 228km
Grade/Duration - Difficult/Approx. 8 Hours
Altitude Gain - 232m
Highlights - Gata loops, Twin Passes, Tso Kar
Today’s ride is going to be an epic adventure as we ride through the martian landscape towards Tso(lake) Moriri. 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 finished and 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 which stretches for 45km. Shortly after, we exit the highway and take a right towards Tso Moriri. On the way, we also catch a quick glimpse of another alluring blue lake, Tso Kar. Reach Tso Moriri by the evening and stay overnight in tents.
Day 5
Tso Moriri to Leh(3500m) | 220km
Grade/Duration - Difficult/Approx. 8 Hours
Altitude Loss- 1022m
Highlights - Namashang La, Kiagar Tso, Riding on dirt tracks
Wake up to the chilly Himalayan breeze on the bank of Tso Moriri and have a heavy breakfast as today’s ride is going to require a lot of energy. We start riding towards Leh through the Karzok-Mahe-Chumthang-Upshi route. The initial phase of the ride is going to be rather rough as the road is in pretty bad shape and it’s mostly dirt tracks, though it presents us with some exhilarating adventure. Shortly after leaving Tso Moriri, we are going to pass through Tso Kiagar and then climb one of the highest passes in the region, Namashang La(5300m). After crossing the pass, the road starts to get better and the distance is covered at a much faster speed. On the way to Leh, we pass through Chumthang village, which is popular for the Chumthang Gompa. Later, after crossing Upshi, we will start riding on the Manali-Leh Highway towards Leh. After reaching the biggest town in Ladakh, stay overnight in a hotel.
Day 6
Leh to Nubra (3048m) | 160km
Grade/Duration - Difficult/Approx. 7 Hours
Altitude Loss - 452m
Highlights - Khardung La, Diskit Monastery
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, the road 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 7
Nubra to Pangong(4250m) | 260km
Grade/Duration - Difficult/Approx. 8 Hours
Altitude Gain -1202m
Highlights - Riding along Shyok River, Water Crossings
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 travelled 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 8
Pangong to Leh(3500m) | 150km
Grade/Duration - Moderate/Approx. 5 Hours
Altitude Loss - 750m
Highlights - Chang La, Druk White Lotus School
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 climbing the 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 Manali-Leh 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.
Day 9
Leh to Kargil(2676m) via Batalik | 265km
Grade/Duration - Moderate/Approx. 8 Hours
Altitude Loss - 824m
Highlights - Riding along Indus River, Batalik
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 landscape is mesmerizing all along the way as we ride through a spectacular moonscape to reach Khalsi. From Khalsi, you may take a left and ride to Kargil via Lamayuru or you keep following the Indus and ride to Kargil via Batalik. We take the latter option and keep riding for a few hours until we reach the village of Batalik, which is relevant for its strategic location between Leh, Kargil and Baltistan. After riding through the day, we reach the second biggest town in Ladakh i.e. Kargil. Stay overnight in a hotel.
Day 10
Kargil to Srinagar(1585m) | 202km
Grade/Duration - Difficult/Approx. 7 Hours
Altitude Loss - 1091m
Highlights - Dras War Memorial, Zoji La
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 11
Departure from Srinagar
Today marks the last day of this legendary 11 days motorcycling adventure. Have a relaxed breakfast with your fellow riders in the hotel and get on with your journey back home.
