Overview

Motorcycle tour in Himalayas

This is best described as a roller-coaster motorbike ride: from the Buddhist monasteries of Ladakh, through the mysterious Zanskar Valley and desertic high-altitude landscapes we will head straight up to the highest pass in the world – Umling La (5848 m). The Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri lakes are also on our way, followed by several more passes over 5,000m. In the last years a lot of new roads have been built in the Himalayas and quite a few new passes have been availed for motorable vehicles. It opens for us, bikers, the areas which earlier could only be reached by trekking in the mountains. On our trip you can expect new tracks, passes and highlights not offered before on an organized tour. We will be hitting altitudes of over 5,000 meters multiple times and traveling over the highest passes in the world. The route covers all of the highlights of the ancient Buddhist kingdom of Ladakh, as well as the most beautiful Himalayan lakes in the border region to Tibet. Riding to the top of the world – with the mythical Royal Enfield will give you memories to last a lifetime! Check out the pictures of our latest expedition in the gallery section of this website – and get packing!

I have no prior experience riding in Himalayas ?
Don’t worry about that it can be easily managed, you just have to get acclimatized to the environment. It takes an day or two of rest to get used to the area and get adapted to the high altitude area. We will also guide you about the driving rules in India and Himalayas. Apart from this a tour leader will lead the group.
What is AMS?
AMS is acute mountain sickness. It generally occur at high altitude area with low oxygen level. Its Symptoms are Severe Headache, Dizziness, Fever and difficulty in breathing. In case of AMS person must come down to low altitude area and take rest for a day or long.
Do I need to be fit and healthy?
Fitness always good for the body. But it doesn’t require that much fitness. However, if you have any present medical condition, we urged you to seek doctor’s permission. Touring in Himalayas involves being at very high altitudes and acute mountain sickness can occur in few cases.
Are there any chances of snow and rain?
Himalayan weather is very uncertain. snowfall in these areas are very unpredictable. Though Ladakh comes under rain shadow zone but lower Himalayas get lot of rainfall during monsoon season.
Do you provide custom tour for the groups?
Yes, we do provide custom tour for a group. For custom tour contact us or email us.
Do I need medical or travel insurance?
Adequate travel insurance is mandatory at least for the duration of your tour with us and is not included in the price of the tour. If you are a Rider or the pillion the insurance must cover riding motorcycles of 500 cc.
What about the motorcycle Insurance?
Please note that, our motorcycles are fully insured for third party damage only. For damage to the motorcycle itself, a deposit of $500 is required before the tour departs and will be refunded in full at the completion of the tour provided no damage has occurred to the motorcycle.
Does rules and traffic in India different to other countries?
Yes, there are certain factors that make it quite different from other countries. Firstly, it's important to note that in India, people drive on the left-hand side, which means those coming from right-hand drive countries will need to adjust to this change. Secondly, the road conditions can vary significantly, ranging from ordinary to challenging, particularly in the higher Himalayas where road construction battles with the forces of nature. However, these difficulties don't discourage adventurous individuals seeking thrilling rides. Lastly, other road users can be bothersome because traffic laws are relaxed, and many people learn to drive through experience rather than formal training. As a result, you'll inevitably learn the unique ways of maneuvering through Indian roads according to local customs.
Does cost include Insurance?
No, the cost is excluding any kind of insurance for rider or the pillion. It just include the third party insurance of motorcycles.
