This
is latest trend
in India.Although ,in Europe, its very old culture
to ride on motor bikes and explore mountain side.But
in Himalayas,this culture was introduced by "
fair colored gypsies" who found it convenient
to travel long distance in Himalayas...on
motorbikes. Enfield motorcycles are sole choice
for this type of sport and during our exploration
of Himalayas,we met many gypsies who were
on "long drives" and found it very enjoyable
as it allows freedom and chance to explore according
too a "wild" way.
Again ,we would like to mention that mountain
activities are divided into two parts. Ladakh
region and rest of Himalayas. We ,at mountadventure
will take care of hiring bikes and their management
during the activity.All you have to do is...just
drive. On way to Ladakh,one can enter though Manali,Himachal
Pradesh when rohtang pass opens and its the time
when Indian army and tourists both enter the valley.
Rohtang is 14000+ pass and as soon one crosses
it...its Lahaul valley welcoming them. Through
Keylong ...one visits Darcha which is Army check
post for both Indians and others.Please note that
inner line permit is needed ,as soon as you cross
Rohtang Pass. So,please let us know in advance
if you choose to motorbike in Ladakh. After Darcha
,one crosses two high passes...Tang lang la 17000+
and Baralach La which is toughest drive of this
venture.As soon as you cross Baralacha La...you
are in Ladakh (Leh) valley.Leh is situated on
the banks of river Indus which is mothersoil of
India.Its here that Indus creed develops and came
to known as INDUS CIVIZATION.Many tourists visit
this place as it also holds many exciting treks/climbs/and
also worlds heights motorable pass...Khardung
La 18300 ft.
Climate of Ladakh is extremist and one has to
be careful for any activity in remote as exposure
to UV and cold air can create problem for those
who overeact in mountains.I have seen frostbites
during my NIKE HIKING EXPEDITION to Khardung la.But
if being defensive in mountain ..one can create
such a memory that whenever you will come to India,there
will be a urge to visit Ladakh,in your heart.
Ladakh is connected by air also.Domestic flights
can be booked from Chandigarh and Delhi but weather
plays important role in flight scheduling. Flight
goes over fascinating mountain ranges of Himalayas.And
is considered one of the wonderful air travel
.But for a nature freek/adventure loving soul
..we would suggest to travel by road.
