Motorcyling holidays are becoming very popular and every tripper worth his/her soul needs to travel to the mecca of motorcycle adventure – Ladakh. There is no better way to do ladakh, period! While many use the cheaper alternative of showing up in Manali and renting beat up Royal Enfields to Leh, they are at a risk of ruining the holiday by trusting a hired ill maintained bike. The other more ‘reliable’ option is to ship your own bike to Delhi or Chandigarh and ride your own baby which you are comfortable with. For those who dont mind spending that little extra dosh, theres organized packages for 6-8 days where bike, fuel, food, accomodation and service is provided.

Bangalore founded INDIMOTARD is one such reputed outfit.
This seasons Ladakh packages sounds something like this:
“The treacherous route that takes you though some of the world’s most hostile passes while experiencing some of the most beautiful landscapes the Himalayan Mountains have on offer. If the oxygen depraved campsite at Sarchu doesn’t give you a high, you can count on the water crossing that could easily swallow your motorcycle to take you to nirvana.”
Start / Finish: Delhi / Leh
Duration: 6 day ride, 8 day vacation
Distance: ~1200 kms
Accommodation: One must be aware that ‘luxury’ in one of the most inhospitable regions in the world sometimes could be a little less than perfect. We strive to provide the best accommodation available as well as keep you well fed with scrumptious meals. (Rooms are on twin sharing basis with an attached WC and hot water.) One night on this trip will be spent in fixed walk-in tents with bed and toilet facilities.
