Tour Overview

​

An elite 21-day motorcycle expedition through the Indian Himalayas, designed for riders who want more than just a route — they want a journey.

​

Beginning in Delhi, this full-circle Himalayan circuit takes you from the plains of North India into the spiritual foothills of Rishikesh, before climbing deep into the mountains toward Ladakh. The terrain evolves dramatically — from pine forests and river valleys to high-altitude desert and some of the highest motorable passes in the world.

​

Days 1–2 – Arrival in Delhi

Arrive in Delhi and check into your hotel. In the evening, meet the crew for introductions, expedition briefing and welcome dinner.

The following day, collect your motorcycles and take your first ride through Delhi — organised chaos, colour and controlled madness. This familiarisation ride allows you to settle into the rhythm of Indian roads before the mountains begin.

Final preparation and checks for the journey ahead.

​

Day 3 – Delhi to Rishikesh

We leave early, escaping the city and heading north toward the foothills of the Himalayas.

The road gradually shifts from plains to rising terrain as we reach Rishikesh — spiritual gateway to the mountains and home of the Ganges.

​

Day 4 – Rishikesh (Rest & Exploration)

A full day to explore ancient temples, ashrams and riverbanks at your own pace.

This is your final pause before the true ascent begins.

​

Days 5–6 – Shimla & Manali

The first real mountain riding days.

Twisting hill roads, increasing elevation and cooler air mark our climb deeper into the Himalayas. Passing through the Kullu Valley and alpine forests, the scale expands dramatically.

Manali becomes our staging point for high-altitude riding.

​

Day 7 – Manali (Acclimatisation Day)

A rest and sightseeing day. Essential preparation before entering extreme altitude.

Tomorrow, the landscape changes completely.

​

Days 8–9 – High Passes to Leh

We cross Rohtang Pass and continue toward Ladakh, climbing into some of the highest motorable terrain in the world.

Taglang La rises above 5,300 metres. The landscape becomes stark, lunar and immense.

Arrival in Leh at 3,524 metres — capital of Ladakh and gateway to the high desert.

​

Days 10–11 – Leh & Surroundings

Two full days exploring:

  • Pangong Lake

  • Thiksey Monastery

  • Vast high desert plateaus

  • Ancient Buddhist culture

Ladakh delivers scale, silence and altitude unlike anywhere else.

​

Days 12–13 – Zanskar & Kashmir

We ride through the Zanskar Valley before descending into the lush landscapes of Kashmir.

Green valleys replace barren rock. Snow-capped peaks reflect in Dal Lake as we approach Srinagar.

​

Days 14–15 – Dal Lake, Kashmir

Two days aboard your private luxury houseboat.

Personal chef. Private boatman. Floating markets. Himalayan reflections at sunrise.

After high-altitude intensity, this is restoration.

​

Days 16–20 – Return Through the Foothills

Back on the road through Kashmir’s valleys, Padder, Chamba, Dharamshala and Chandigarh.

Forested roads and flowing river routes guide us gradually back down from the Himalayas.

The expedition arc closes as we return to Delhi.

​

Day 21 – Departure

Return bikes, final dinner and farewell.

2,152 kilometres across one of the most dramatic regions on earth.
