10 Days / 9 Nights
The Himalayan territory of Ladakh is a peaceful, secure oasis in this part of northern India, with a welcoming, predominantly Buddhist population.
Numerous monasteries stand between peaks and canyons, while picturesque green villages dot the high desert landscape.
The arid, jagged Himalayan mountains encircle this fabulous ancient Buddhist kingdom, a small corner of Tibet on the borders of India.
On the rocky outcrops, splendid gompas (Tibetan Buddhist monasteries) house gilded Buddhas, colourful paintings and red-robed monks, alongside whitewashed stupas and prayer wheels that turn clockwise to spread the merit of the montras.
Discovering Ladakh by motorbike (ROYAL ENFIELD HIMALAYAN 410cc) offers unrivalled freedom.
Its capital LEH, situated at an altitude of 3500 metres, is a pretty city surrounded by mountains, dotted with whitewashed stupas and houses. The old town is dominated by a steep rocky ridge topped by a Tibetan-style palace and fort.
Below, the bustling bazaar area is packed with souvenir shops. But the network of narrow streets soon gives way to a verdant patchwork of irrigated barley fields and apricot trees.
Welcomed in Delhi by Marie at terminal 2 of the domestic flights for departure to LEH, which we will reach in 1 hour 10 minutes.
Transfer from airport to hotel.
COMPLETE REST for acclimatization MANDATORY AND IMPERATIVE.
Do nothing.
Leh’s altitude of over 3500 m causes headaches and nausea for many travellers.
I recommend taking DIAMOX as a preventive measure against altitude sickness.
Take one tablet the day before.
Then afterwards, depending on how your body reacts.
Also, on the first day, it’s essential to rest completely at the hotel.
I chose a super 5-star Grand Dragon hotel for this.
Full board (all-you-can-eat buffet)
After breakfast, with a little garlic soup to soothe altitude sickness, we visit the Thiksey monastery, a 30-minute drive from Leh, in a private vehicle. This is the largest and most typical monastery in Ladakh, and there are superb photos to be taken of this highly photogenic complex on a rocky promontory offering a breathtaking view of the valley.
Those who want to attend the ceremony can do so in the prayer hall. Just be there at 7 a.m.
Return to the Grand Dragon. Lunch.
Short siesta.
At 3.30pm, departure for the visit of the palace and the old quarter, as well as the temple of the sovereign of Ladakh with its multitude of prayer flags.
An architectural icon of the city, this 9-storey wooden and wattle-and-daub building is reminiscent of the Potala Palace in Lhasa (Tibet). It was built in the 17th century by the sovereign Sengge Namgyal.
Magnificent views of the Himalayas from the roof of the last terrace.
At sunset, the Tsemo gompa includes 2 15th century temples, even higher than the Palace.
Return for dinner (exquisite Ladakhi momos, for example, all-you-can-eat buffet) and overnight at the Grand Dragon.
After breakfast, meeting with the Trip moto team.
Getting to grips with the bikes.
Head for Sham, 50 km of winding road, which takes in the north-south parallel valleys of Likir, Yangthang, Hemis, Sukpachan and Timishgan, and their monastery palaces. We follow the river Zanskar as it joins the Indus in different shades of blue.
We pass through Ladakhi villages, stupas dotted along the way and several monasteries.
Lunch en route.
Local cuisine.
Arrival at the guesthouse. Clean deluxe room with private bathroom and toilet.
My contact in Ladakh will give me the exact name of the accommodation a month before your arrival.
Possibility of walking in the surrounding area. We are in the Hemis Park, home to the elusive snow leopard.
Possibility of observing the wildlife in the surrounding area.
Dinner and overnight stay.
The deep valleys of the Shayok and Nubra rivers offer a fabulous landscape of green villages built on stony slopes, surrounded by arid mountains.
There are sand dunes, monasteries and a ruined palace.
The Khardung pass (5602 m) is the highest pass in the world that can be crossed by car.
The Nubra road twists and turns for an hour and a half through rocky, desolate mountains: an experience like no other in the world!
4 to 5 hours of motorcycling per day.
Breakfast and dinner in the guesthouses.
Lunch will be taken on the road. Local restaurants/ or picnics.
Dinner and overnight in a guesthouse.
The wild and remote road leading from the Nubra to the Pangong Tso makes it possible to link these 2 destinations without returning to Leh.
The narrow strip has 3 fords.
Best taken early in the morning.
38 km between Agham and Shayok ALONE IN THE WORLD, not a soul to be seen.
Arrival at Pangong Tso (4,250 m): an enchanting lake stretching 150 km (its eastern 2/3 is part of TIBET), with a palette of intense colours ranging from Caribbean turquoise to leaden grey, depending on the light, and offering a magical contrast with the khaki of the surrounding arid, snow-dusted mountains.
We’ll cross some spectacular scenery, crossing the Chang La at 5360 m.
A real ADVENTURE!
Dinner and overnight in a guesthouse.
HANLEY the magical moorland of the eastern plains.
Rich in species endemic to Ladakh (Tibetan fox, Tibetan gazelle, wolf, Pallas’s cat, etc. and a multitude of migratory birds), it offers the opportunity for beautiful animal encounters.
At night, magical Hanley offers extremely clear, pollution-free skies and the opportunity to observe the stars and constellations: the night of the GALAXIES.
Dinner and overnight in a guesthouse.
Discover the region and some of the highest mountain passes in the world.
Dinner and overnight in a guesthouse.
One of Ladakh’s great and unforgettable lakes.
The ever-changing reflections of the Tso Moriri are reflected in its bright blue waters.
