Wake up leisurely and enjoy the holiday mood with a sightseeing ride around Manali. Make the most of this day because there is some very tough Biking ahead!  Overnight at Hotel.

We will make an early start towards Jispa, our next night halt. the abundance of greenery and trees dramatically disappears into arid landscapes as we ascend the steep mountains over Rohtang Pass. We can expect a few muddy tracks at times. Overnight camp at Jispa.

After Jispa begins the real ascent over some muddy patches and water crossings where the melting snow from the higher ranges flows down on the road. We will ascend Baralacha La (pass) 4830M and then cross into the Zanskar ranges to camp at Sarchu.

We'll make another early start today to cross Brandy Nallah, Gata Loops and the Double humped Pass Lachulung La (5060M). Its awe inspiring scenery (if bleak at times) all the way today as we cross Pang (4630m) and the More Plains - a flat stretch of 48 Kms, at an average height of 4200m to reach the world's second highest motorable pass Tanglang La (5,360 M). It's down the other side to our picturesque Camp site at Rumtse (appx 30 Kms/4325m) for the night.

Today is a well-deserved rest day for the man and machine, it is essential at this attitude to acclimatize. Overnight at Hotel.

Joolay! You wake up in the lap of the Ladakh Valley. Greet the locals with a Joolay and feel the warm and hospitable nature of the Ladakhis envelop you. Today you will visit Himis and Thikesy Monastries. Overnight at Hotel.

Today we head towards Pangyong tso. Ascend the height of the world's third highest motorable pass Chang la over landslide prone area and wayward mountain streams deciding to change course at will. We will set our campsite in the general area around Pangyong Tso.

One of the toughest water crossings on this route is near the Lake - real challenge for man and machine! But once you get to the lake you will forget the tough ride, the maniacal streams and the cold...To find such a huge expanse of calm blue water at that altitude ! Its definitely worth the ride. The Pangyong Tso (lake of great hollowness) is almost 130 Km long and 06 to 07 Km wide, extending east to west at a height of 14000 Ft. Overnight at Hotel.

Today we will head back the same way to Leh. We'll make an early start and try to reach Leh by afternoon. We need a well deserved rest and an early night. Overnight at Hotel. 

Today is the day we all came on this ride - to be on Top of the World - the Khardung La (5602M)!!!
The intial smooth going track becomes tougher as we ascend, full of boulders and stones - but it is certainly worth the ride. After a short break we will move on to reach the Nubra Valley. Its a fantastic ride over fairly good, paved roads most of the time. Overnight at Hotel.

After an early breakfast, we will head out to explore the beautiful Nubra Valley. and after some great riding experience in this remote area we will head back for Leh over Khardung La. Overnight at Hotel.

After breakfast, a full day free for Independent Activities. Overnight at Hotel.

After a rest day in Leh town, we proceed for some leisurely riding to see some interesting monasteries west of Leh - the Spituk monastery of the Gelukpas (Yellow Hat Sect) and Alchi Monastery. Crossing the bridge over the river we return the same way, viewing some amazing scenery enrooted. We are back in Leh for another night's rest - our last in the Ladakhi capital. Overnight at Hotel.
