Description

To experience the charm of the region, this motorbike trip to Ladakh is a wonderful chance. As the trip is two-week long, you will have sufficient time to explore this vast cold desert at a slow and relaxing pace. You will begin your experience from Delhi, and those who are coming from outside the city, are required to reach here 24 hours prior to the departure time. We have a collection of fixed departure dates for you to pick as an individual. Below itinerary has been well-researched and carefully framed after looking back at numerous of our trips in the past.
Remember that your road journey will be picturesque, but difficult. The, narrow, bouncy and zigzagging mountain roads with blind curves, a narrow valley between hills and ravines at many points will keep pumping adrenaline through your veins. All this will make you tired, but once you look at the amazing sights, you will be immediately relaxed and feel blessed

One thing that’s very important is the culture & people of the place. Ladakh is home to one of the most-friendly tribes in the World. Their colorful and peace-loving culture will make you fall in love with the localities immediately. We advise that you savour Ladakhi food while you are there because you won’t get that yummy food anywhere in the World.

So for how long are you just going to read about the wonders of Ladakh? It’s time to tick these activities off your bucket list with Challengers Hub Leh Ladakh Package for 2020! Go on and create your own Ladakh Records!
