Motorcycle Ride in Ladakh

Riding a motorcycle through breathtaking landscapes, does that sound like a dream? Then discovering the heights of the Himalayas on a Royal Enfield motorcycle should appeal to you. Besides being an unforgettable experience, this journey is the perfect fusion of action and thrill. It’s impossible to get tired of such a place, as the landscapes are so striking.

The road trip begins on the rugged terrain of Ladakh, a former Buddhist kingdom located around the Himalayas. The guide, an expert of the region, will explain the details of the ascent before hitting the road. The journey on your Royal Enfield promises to be exceptional: dramatic ravines, oases of fruit trees, rocky deserts. Not to mention the exhilarating sensations you’ll experience on the winding roads of the Ladakh mountains.

Beyond your wildest dreams, this route will lead you to passes situated at 5,359 meters for Khardungla and 5,328 meters for Taglangla. In these lands, you will discover places typical of Indian culture. Among them are the monasteries of Hemis, Lamayuru, and Thiksé, the banks of the Indus River, and even Pangong Lake. The experience is so extraordinary that you won’t leave without capturing the moment. Along the way, you’ll encounter other travelers, some on Royal Enfield motorcycles, others on horseback, and a few brave ones on foot.

No matter what, regular breaks will be scheduled to enjoy the view, have a meal, and take in the fresh air. Beyond the breathtaking landscapes, you’ll be surprised by the diversity found in the Himalayas. Between herds of yaks and pashmina goats, Ladakh’s geography will offer you an eclectic spectacle. Not to mention the waterfalls, rivers, and starry sky that lights up the night.

Later in your journey, near the Nubra Valley, nestled between China and Pakistan, Bactrian camels will appear. Living peacefully, they are not accustomed to reacting to the passage of Royal Enfield motorcycles. You can easily enjoy the scenery without any disturbance.

With your eyes fixed on the road and the varied landscapes, you’ll be amazed. At the end of this first day, your guide will signal for you to stop, marking the end of your first day
