Feel on Top of The World when you are riding on World’s Highest roads to the Highest Motorable Passes, we take you higher than Everest Base Camp. We start this exciting adventure from Leh, centuries old town in middle of Himalayas which used to be part of Silk Route connecting Indian plains. Ladakh has stark landscape surrounded with towering mountains, a high altitude region dotted with beautiful villages and colourful monasteries. We ride around Ladakh to Alchi Monastery which is more than 1000 yrs old and stay near to yet another 1000 yrs monastery at Lamayuru. From here we launch ourselves into Zanskar valley, one of most remote part of Himalayas which till a few year could be reached by trekking only. For a few days we would be criss crossing many mountain passes, across several valleys, remote villages and mind blowing scenic views. We traverse Zanskar valley across its length, riding up to Shinku La which connects Zanskar to Lahaul. We now take the Manali Leh road crossing high passes stopping at Tsokar Lake which is home of the endangered Black Necked Crane. We then ride to Hanle village which has World’s Highest Observatory and it is from here that we ride to touch the sky taking World’s Highest road to Umling La 5798 m, World’s Highest motorable pass. We take a sojurn on banks of beautiful Pangong Lake which is divided between India and China. From here we ride to the exotic Nubra valley where we enjoy the sand dunes in middle of Himalayas & ride double humped camels. We end the tour in Leh but not before we scale the mighty Khardung La which for many decades used to enjoy the distinction of being highest in World.
