Ride high: Plan an exciting motorbike trip to Leh

Region: Manali to Leh

Manali Leh Highway is one of the most difficult trips, plan a trip with your friends and get ready to take on the adventures Leh has to offer. It is one of those highways which offer almost everything to an adventure lover. Terrifying mountain passes, thin air, the awe of the beauty around you — no other route offers as much. The first obstacle to getting into Ladakh is the aptly-named Rohtang Pass. Once you cross over into Lahaul Valley, bikers can reclaim the roads. Take a short break to indulge in hot momos and thukpa soup. The next day, as you cross the Baralacha La, you notice the scale of the mountains has changed.

Did you know? There are few petrol pumps on the Manali-Leh route, the next fuel pump after Keylong comes after 365km. Therefore, it is advisable to plan your fuel cargo accurately, accounting for the steep mountain roads and detours.
