Greetings From Vdzire Holiday Hub
A BRIEF ABOUT THE TRIP...
Himalayas simply conjure up - an
"image" - satellite of magnificent snow covered peaks - remoteness /
alpine green valleys / high altitude passes. Our Royal Enfield Motorbike Safari
is to the saddle of Buddhist culture in Ladakh, living in harmony with harsh
climatic conditions in the Higher Himalayas.
This motorbike safari is one of the best
activities to participate in a holiday catering pure unadulterated pleasure
& taking the challenge of the intricacies of riding your 350cc motorcycle
in the High Himalayas. This motorbike safari is initiated in the alpine valleys
of Manali, to ascend high
Mountain passes in the Zanskar & Ladakh
ranges.
The safari involves cross country ride of
Changthang area, burning out energies at Pangong Tso Lake, the highest in the
region & not to forget the Bactrian camel on the ancient silk route of
Nubra Valley at the foothills of the world's highest battlefield. We will be

into arid landscapes as we ascend the steep mountains over Rohtang Pass. We can
expect a few muddy tracks at times. Overnight camp at Tandi.
Day 04: Tandi – Sarchu (114
Kms)
Post breakfast we check out from the hotel and
ride north on the Manali-Leh Highway. You get to see some of the most breath
taking landscapes that the Western Himalayas can offer. The scenery gets more
stark and barren as we climb up to the 16,500 ft high Baralacha La the second
mountain pass on our journey. From the pass beautiful views of meadows and
snow-capped mountains can be seen. By early evening we reach the small hamlet

Kms), Tanglang La Pass 17,585ft and Indus Valley. Upon arrival in leh you’ll

Day 06: Leh
Today is a well deserved rest day for the man
and the machine. It is essential at this altitude to acclimatize.
Day 07: Leh - Khardung La
(5602 M) - Nubra Valley (127 Kms)
Today is the day we all came on this ride - to
be on Top of the World - the Khardung La (5602M)!!!
The initial smooth going track becomes tougher
as we ascend, full of boulders and stones - but it is certainly worth the
ride. From the pass, one can see all the
way south over the Indus valley to seemingly endless peaks and ridges of the
Zanskar range, and north to the giants of the Saser massif. Nubra Valley is
popularly known as Ldumra or the valley of flowers. It is situated in the north
of Ladakh between the Karakoram and Ladakh ranges of the Himalayas. The average
altitude of the valley is 10,000 Ft. above sea level. Upon arrival in Nubra we check in at our Camp
/ Hotel in Hunder for Overnight stay.
Day 08: Nubra Valley – Leh
After an early breakfast we check out from the
Camp and drive to HUNDER where you have opportunity to ride on a bacterian camel
(double humped) amidst the sand dunes of this high altitude desert with snow
capped mountains on the horizon. Between Hunder and Diskit you come across sand
dunes besides the road. Seen in isolation you could well be amongst the sand
dunes of the Thar Desert in Rajasthan. It is indeed a strange sight since
immediately on the left of the road are rocky mountains that characterize the
Ladakhi landscape and in the distance can be seen snow-capped mountains. On the
return stop at DISKIT which is the headquarter town of Nubra Valley. Stroll
around the bazaar observing the shops and local people going about their daily
chores. Diskit is famous for 515 years old Buddhist Monastery, lying
magnificently situated on a hilltop, facing the entire Valley.
Later we drive back to Leh in the late
afternoon via Khardungla Top. On arrival at Leh you will check in to your
Hotel.
Day 09: Leh - Pangong Tso
(140 Kms)
Today we head towards Pangong Lake. enroute
visiting Shey Palace, The ancient capital of Ladakh &3 Idiots Rancho School
& further 5 Kms Driving through a picturesque landscape we reach Thiksey an
impressive complex rising tier upon tier on a hill above the village. Ascend
the height of the world's third highest motorable pass Chang la over landslide
prone area and wayward mountain streams deciding to change course at will. Upon
arrival we check in at our camp / resort for overnight stay.
One of the toughest water crossings on this
route is near the Lake - real challenge for man and machine! But once you get
to the lake you will forget the tough ride, the maniacal streams and the
cold...To find such a huge expanse of calm blue water at that altitude! It’s
definitely worth the ride. The Pangong Tso (lake of great hollowness) is almost
130 Km long and 06 to 07 Km wide, extending east to west at a height of 14000
Ft.
Day 10: Pangong Tso – Leh
Today we will head back the same way to Leh.

Lamayuru – 125 Kms / One Way)
After an early breakfast we ride to the 11th
Century Lamayuru Monastery enroute visiting the mesmerizing Moon Landscapes
(you will believe why the name of this area is Moonland. Exactly the same
formations of Land are visible as on the moon), Lamayuru is spectacularly
located along the valley plain and surrounded by mountains on all sides. On your
return drive to Leh you first visit the Alchi Gompa. The complex of temples
located within the village is the most celebrated of Ladakh’s monasteries and
