Ladakh Biking Tour

Duration : 17 Days / 16 Nights
Destinations : Delhi - Ladakh

Biking on Leh Manali RoadAfter more than six yers of organising trekking, climbing, wildlife and other adventure holidays to the remotest corners of the Indian Himalayas, our move to include mountain biking holidays was an obvious step. In 1992, we did the first ever commercial montain bike ride on the famous Leh-Manali road crossing two of the world's highest road passes. This programme has now grown to include biking in the remote valleys of Lahaul, Ladakh, Kulu, Sikkim and the eastern Himalayas.

The fully supported Leh-Manali bike ride is now an established classic, crossing three high passes, the highest being over 5600 mtrs, and with a total descent of over 10000 mtre.

These are not demanding expeditions- our spport team is always present at a discreet distance behind the riders to help in case of need. All bags are carried for you and our expert camp crew sports out the campsites and puts together five star meals at the end of the day.
