Trans-Himalayan Motorcycle Expedition Is On ---LADAKH-LEH

Ladakh-Trans-Himalayan Ride:- commenced on 15 June, our first group has come back safe to Manali (starting point) after two weeks ride up in the high Himalayas, we had a big fair-well at the hotel.  They were 16 riders from France, they have been dreaming this beautiful adventure past three years; finally they decided to do it with us (Motorcycle Expeditions).
 Moti (our road captain) was leading this ride with our all time rocking man Jasaji (mechanic).
Riders on the road to Ladakh-Indo-Tibet frontier.
They all have their different stories to tell; it was indeed one of the toughest rides they have ever done in their life. For most of them, it was the first time to ride the high mountains specially going up to 5,600 meters on motorcycle was just a dream come true, although they had sufficient time to get acclimatized at Manali-2000mtrs. There were seven lady riders too, for them it was more than an achievement to tackle 180k machine at 5,600mtrs.
Dealing with snowy road at 4,500mtrs. 



   Our road captain believes that the riders were very much determined and ready to chase this outreaches Himalayan road despite of snowfall, rain, harsh weather conditions. They continuously tackled all five high passes with a big smile.
Our machine master Jasaji had to work a lot on bikes every evening as there had been a loads of miner falls due to the snowy and muddy form of the road during three days.
Jasaji, doesn't like when his babies are hurt, he would rather keep himself busy to look after the bikes than gossiping with friends.

on the way back to Sarchu, the highest accommodation of the tour 4,500meters. 
 This ride is evidently a dream ride for all motorcycle enthusiasts from all around the world; however it's only known among the riders, those who are looking for a life time motorcycle adventure. This ride is full of cultural, geography diversities, faces change, landscapes change as the day passes by.
on the way to Himalaya
  Ladakh: literally means " The land of high passes". remains close and isolated from rest of the world during 8 months of year due to the harsh climate condition.
