10 Ideas To Make A Successful Leh Trip By Bike

Almost every biker dreams about a Leh Ladakh Bike Trip. Ladakh has an incredible landscape spread across high-altitude mountain passes and beautiful alpine lakes in shades of blues and greens that one can’t get enough of. It takes a lifetime for you to set out on that Leh Ladakh road trip once your heart desires it.

Leh Ladakh tourism is a place where words fail, but here are ten ideas that will help you make it a success. Read on to find out what the best Leh Ladakh bike trip package is (it’s with Moustache Escapes, BTW) for an epic adventure you’ll never forget. Are you ready to get Leh’d?

Visit Pangong Tso and take a picture like 3 idiots

It is a must to visit this Bollywood famous place when on a Leh Ladakh trip out of all the Leh Ladakh tourist places. It’s been on your bucket list since Rancho was brought together with his friends near the lake in 2009’s Amir Khan-starring film 3 Idiots. Book the Leh Ladakh package today and fulfill your Bollywood dreams!

In addition to being the highest saltwater lake in the world, Pangong Tso has also got peacock blue waters. However, besides the few ducks and gulls you can spot on the water, there is no aquatic life. Leh Ladakh packages that offer overnight camping right next to Pangong Lake are the best way to experience the lake. You will also cross the world’s third highest motorable pass, Chang La (17586 ft), on this Leh to Leh bike tour!

Get amazed at Magnetic Hill

Just about 30 km from Leh city, if you were on the Leh Kargil Highway, you might experience a strange phenomenon. A signboard would greet you to the “Magnetic Hills”.

You would find yourself slowly going uphill if you left your bike in neutral. It’s kind of spooky, since no one really knows why that’s happening! According to some, it is an optical illusion, some believe it is a magnetic force, others claim it is similar to gravity hills found elsewhere in the world, while local legends claim that there are stairways to heaven.

We will take you to witness the strange phenomenon with your own eyes if you don’t believe it. Check out our Leh Ladakh bike tour packages and see for yourself.

Cross the highest motorable pass Khardungla on this bike tour

There are no Leh Ladakh itinerary complete without visiting Khardungla, the world’s highest motorable pass (18,380 ft.). The pass is located on the way to Nubra valley on the Leh Ladakh bike tour. You can rent a bike at a Leh bike rental shop and ride 40 km to reach it before heading to Nubra.

As you cross the South Pullu checkpoint, the roads start getting dustier and more adventurous. As you gain altitude on this Leh Ladakh bullet trip, the air will become thinner, but the scenery will get better and better. On this Leh bike trip, you’ll enjoy your “pahadon wali chai and Maggi” at the top (and take loads of pictures, duh!).

By the way, your Leh bike rental price would come down to around INR 1000 per day if you can drive an automatic bike/scooty.

Hear the stories at Royal Leh Palace

The Royal Leh Palace is one of the best places to visit in Ladakh. It is a fine example of medieval Tibetan architecture, as it was constructed taking inspiration from the Potala Palace of Lhasa, built in the 17th century. It stands tall with its nine stories, enduring the test of time. Visitors to the museum will gain insight into Ladakh’s cultural heritage if they are passionate about history. Moreover, you get panoramic views of the Leh town below with the Stok Kangri mountains as a backdrop.

Enjoy the peace at Shanti Stupa

You have to visit Shanti Stupa if you’re riding a bike from Delhi to Leh. Far away from the noisy streets in the metropolis, Shanti Stupa offers a kind of tranquility that you’ll remember for years to come. The stupa also holds the relics of Buddha, which were preserved by the 14th Dalai Lama. The 360-degree panoramic view of Leh town from Shanti Stupa makes it an essential part of all Leh Ladakh bike trips from Delhi, in addition to its religious significance.

You can book Leh Ladakh bike tour packages covering Shanti Stupa and several other sightseeing spots at the best rates. Check them out now! We can also help with your Chandigarh to Leh road trip.

Salute our war heroes in Kargil

If you are biking from Delhi to Leh, take a night’s halt in Kargil once you cross Srinagar. As we all know, almost two decades ago, this place was the scene of horrific events. When you are bike touring Leh Ladakh, take time to pay homage to our heroes at the Kargil war memorial. The names of the martyrs are engraved in pink sandstone on the way to the altar at the memorial, a sight that instantly humbles you.

In case you have time, you can also explore Dras in Kargil with Leh Ladakh tour packages. Dras is the second coldest inhabited place on Earth after Siberia and is a major ski, ice skating, and hockey destination. We promise that once you discover Kargil’s hidden gems, you won’t be disappointed with your Leh Ladakh bike trip plan once you spend at least 2–3 days there.

Ride the double-humped camels in Hunder

I’m sure you think of huge sand dunes and scorching heat when you hear the word camel safari. On a Leh Ladakh tour, you’ll come across the cold desert sand dunes of Hunder at 10,000 ft., so why are we mentioning camel safaris in the middle of the mountains? This is exactly what it is.

It is a small village in the Nubra Valley known as ‘Desert in the Sky’. It is the sheer sight of the Bactrian double-humped camels that will make your Leh Ladakh bike trip worthwhile. On your Leh Ladakh bike trip from Delhi, you get to ditch the usual 50 degrees Celsius desert temperature and still enjoy a camel safari because of Leh Ladakh’s temperature. Jaisalmer, you’ve got some serious competition!

Visit the northernmost village of Turtuk

You should rent a bike in Leh if you’re not willing to lug your own bike all the way to Ladakh. Taking note of this is important if you’re planning a bike tour of Leh Ladakh. Due to the fact that rental bikes from outside of Leh are strictly prohibited from being used for tourism purposes.

Get transported to the moon in Moonland

If you visit Lamayuru Moonland in Ladakh, you do feel like you are on a lunar adventure. If you were not living under the rocks, you would have certainly come across travelers posting photos and videos of “moonscape” in Ladakh on social media from their Leh road trip if you weren’t living under the rocks.

This moonscape is even home to the 11th century Lamayuru monastery! Indeed, Lamayuru’s strange geological features lead to the question of whether Leh Ladakh is on Earth or on an alien planet.

Explore the monasteries on your Leh Ladakh tour

When in Ladakh, you cannot help but set out on your Leh bike to explore its numerous monasteries. While some, like the Diskit monastery, are easily covered with a Leh bike trip package, others, like Phugtal Gompa, can only be reached on foot. With the stunning snow-capped mountains in the backdrop, Ladakh’s monasteries seem straight out of a postcard. While here, you would enjoy peace and tranquility. Get to know the monks and their simple way of life by spending some time with them.

Best Time To Visit Leh Ladakh

The best time to visit Leh Ladakh is June — September when all the roads open up and the lakes shine their bluest colors. The weather is great during this time! It is probably the best time to visit Leh Ladakh in the winter if you are looking for snow, ice skating, and a bone-chilling experience (literally, due to the sub-zero temperatures).

You can’t argue with Ladakh’s mesmerizing nature in more ways than just one, but after all the travel inspiration talk about Ladakh, when will you join us for your dream ride? Your dream Ladakh bike trip is just a click away! You can leave all the worries about permits, bikes, stays, and food to us, just book your Leh Ladakh bike tour package here.
