Accommodation includes handpicked hotels in Leh, guesthouses in towns, and deluxe tented camps or yurts at Pangong and Nubra. In Hanle, basic guesthouses or homestays are available.

Connectivity is limited. BSNL and Jio work in Leh and Nubra, while Hanle, Pangong, and Umling La have little to no signal. Prepare to be offline for parts of the journey.

This tour is not recommended for people with heart problems, severe asthma, chronic respiratory issues, or uncontrolled hypertension. At such high altitudes, even minor health conditions can become serious. Always consult your doctor before booking.

The itinerary is designed with gradual acclimatization. Riders are advised to:

• Stay hydrated

• Avoid alcohol at high altitude

• Carry prescribed medicines like Diamox (consult doctor)

• Inform the tour leader immediately if feeling unwell

This journey combines adrenaline-filled rides over the world’s highest passes with unique cultural experiences — monasteries, stargazing in Hanle, the blue expanse of Pangong, and the surreal desert of Nubra Valley.

It’s a guided 11-day Royal Enfield motorcycle expedition connecting Spiti Valley and Ladakh, two of India’s most stunning Himalayan regions. Operated by Into Wild Himalaya Expeditions, the ride blends rugged high-altitude passes, desert valleys, and authentic Himalayan culture in one compact adventure.

The route is moderate-to-challenging. Riders need at least 1 year of motorcycling experience and comfort handling 350–450 cc Royal Enfields on mountain roads. Both solo riders and pillions (on request) are welcome; a valid motorcycle license or international driving permit is mandatory.

Participants ride Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 cc or Scram 450 cc bikes, fully serviced before the tour. A 4×4 backup vehicle carries luggage, spares, oxygen, and a trained mechanic, while the lead and sweep riders manage route safety and pace.

You’ll traverse Manali → Spiti Valley → Kaza → Kunzum La → Chandratal → Leh → Khardung La.
Altitudes range from 2,000 m to 5,360 m, passing iconic landmarks like Kye Monastery, Chicham Bridge, and Pangong Lake.
