MOUNTAIN BIKE LADAKH TOUR

Mountain Bike Ladakh - Tibet Tour

Mountain bike through the remote Himalayan region of Ladakh during an amazing holiday to this fabled land. Often referred to as “Little Tibet” because of its rich culture and tradition, similar to its neighbouring country, this is your chance to bike and absorb a place few people visit.

Following international flights to New Delhi we take the early morning flights to Leh the capital of the region. It’s important to take things easy in this rarefied air and so our initial few days are spent on acclimatization rides in and around Leh.

Suitably acclimatized we leave Leh and start our mountain bike adventure as we follow the Hindus river towards the region of the culturally distinct Drok-pa (Nomads) villages. Here we explore isolated villages seemingly ‘frozen in time’ and visit remote monasteries perched on high cliffs, and containing a wealth of Mandalas (ancient) Buddhist paintings) and other hidden treasures.

For the second part of the trip, we head towards Ladakh’s eastern border with Tibet, biking between snowcapped peaks and the wonderful lakes of Tso Kar and Tso Moriri. This remote region offers many challenges as we ride through huge scenery across vast dry plateaux over the 5200m Taglang La pass, towards the one of the highest villages on earth Karzok, the headquarters of the Changpa nomads.

This trip offers unrivalled possibilities of tough climbs, 'endless' down hills and the chance to meet the local people and experience their unique sustainable lifestyles.
