Leh Bike Tour

Nothing can be better than a bike ride to relish the beauty of Leh. Valleys, Sunrise, Mountains and scenic views are only a small part of the town. An ideal expedition would be a post-mid-June ride to some of the popular sites such as Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, Ladakh Hall of Fame and Spituk Gumpa.

A 6-7 day ride can take you through some of the most scenic places in Leh including Nubra Valley and the Hunder Sand Dunes. There is no better way than riding a bike to explore the flora and fauna of Leh. However, needless to say, a true rider neither has any roads nor any maps.
