The experience
The classic Himalayan road trip, ridden the way it is meant to be. Throttle open across the Khardung La top-world signboard, thread the Shyok river gorge to Nubra, and chase the light to Pangong - a loop of high passes, hairpins and roadside dhabas where the chai is sweet and the horizon is always one more ridge away. Bike or SUV, this is Ladakh earned mile by mile.
The climb
You'll climb to 5,360 metres.
This journey rises to 5,360m. Hover any point to see that day's altitude.
Signature moments
The moments you'll remember.
Good to know - full transparency
Altitude transparency: a mandatory acclimatisation day in Leh (11,500 ft) comes before any high pass - riders feel altitude harder, so this protects you from AMS. Bikes are well-serviced Royal Enfields with a backup vehicle and mechanic; you carry your own riding gear. Inner Line Permits (arranged by us), postpaid-only mobile network, and Leh-only fuel/ATMs all apply - plan refuelling around the long Nubra and Pangong legs.
Seasonal advisory
- Riding season is roughly mid-May to September; passes can be snow-blocked or muddy outside this window.
- Weather can turn a 5-hour leg into a 9-hour one - never plan a flight out on the same day you ride back to Leh.
- Nights at Nubra and Pangong are near freezing; pack thermals even in July.
