DESCRIPCIÓN
Ladakh is not a destination. It’s a threshold. A place where the body is tested, and the soul expands.
Here, in the Indian Himalayas, the mountains silently watch you, time dissolves at 5,000 meters, and the roar of a Royal Enfield echoes like a mantra.
For 14 days, we’ll explore one of the most magnetic and remote territories on Earth. We’ll change bikes in Leh — as per local regulations — but not spirit: the spirit of travelers seeking altitude, truth, and transformation.
Duration: 14 days
Type of trip: Royal Enfield motorbike, Tibetan culture, high mountain passes
Main destinations: Delhi, Chandigarh, Manali, Leh, Nubra, Pangong Tso
Price per person
