Leh to Manali is one of the most stunning, but challenging, bicycle rides in the world. We start with arrival into Leh and spend the next couple of days cycling in the surrounding areas to give you time to acclimatize to the high altitude before longer rides and finally the long and adrenaline pumping journey to Manali.
In and around Leh, we visit many stunning monasteries housing priceless artifacts, raft on the river Indus, cycle to the Khardung-la pass before crossing over to the stunning Nubra Valley where Bactrian camels abound and the villages are remote even by Ladakh standards.
The ride to Manali takes you across beautiful trails with the majestic Himalayas serving as the perfect backdrop. We cross Tanglang La, the world' second highest motorable pass standing at 5280m. The roads are unpredictable in the region and are broken at many places. Each day the distance covered is 40 to 80 km traversing altitudes over 4000m. The route comprises cycling from Leh which is located in the Indus Valley to Manali which is located in the Kullu Valley, cutting across three mountain ranges of Zanskar, Himalayas and Pir Panjal.
