NEW DELHI ROUND TRIP
14 Days
Ladakh is a cold desert situated in mountainous region of the north India. Ladakh lies between the two highest mountain ranges in the world, the Himalayas and the Karakorum. Literally meaning of Ladakh is ‘land of high passes’ and it has always had a strategic location at the crossroads of ancient trade routes & it is inhabited by people of Indo-Aryan and Tibetan descent. Leh, the royal capital city of Ladakh, was a major crossroads of Asia and a stopping point on the ancient migration routes of the trans-Himalayas, connecting Central Asia with the Indian sub-continent. From here, the old caravan routes led westward through Kashmir to the Silk roads, northward across the Karakorum Pass to Central Asia, eastward across the Chang-thang highlands to Tibet and China, and southward through present-day Himachal Pradesh to the plains of India.
A motorcycle trip through this stunning kingdom should be on every motorbike rider’s list to experience its spectacular natural beauty; the place is a visual treat for both your eyes and your digital cameras. The remote location and high altitude of Ladakh make is unsuitable for those looking for a quick holiday. You will need time to get acclimatized to Ladakh’s weather conditions. However, its natural and rustic splendour has been preserved due to the lack of modernity. Ladakh is blessed with snow-capped peaks, the clear blue skies, high mountain passes and striking moonscapes dotted with prayer flags and Buddhist monasteries await you in this remote and majestic Himalayan region.
