TOUR DESCRIPTION:


Chasing the highest passes!

This journey is designed exclusively for women with a passion for adventure and a touch of off-road riding experience. If you’re ready to take on challenges, want to summit the world’s highest motorable passes, and embrace the effort it takes to reach the sky, this is your moment to ride!

Imagine a roller coaster motorbike adventure like no other. Starting from the tranquil Buddhist monasteries of Ladakh, through the mysterious Zanskar Valley and the breathtaking high-altitude deserts, we’ll climb to the legendary Umling La – the world’s highest motorable pass at 5,848 meters. Along the way, we’ll ride past the shimmering beauty of Pangong Tso and Tso Moriri lakes and cross several mountain passes over 5,000 meters.

In recent years, the Himalayan road network has expanded, opening up new and spectacular routes for bikers. While these regions have been explored before, each journey offers a fresh perspective, and this itinerary brings together the most iconic highlights and hidden gems of Ladakh and the surrounding borderlands. You’ll have the chance to ride through stunning landscapes that combine the ancient charm of the Buddhist kingdom with the raw, untamed beauty of the Himalayas.

Expect to tackle thrilling roads, visit timeless monasteries, and marvel at lakes so pristine they mirror the sky. Repeatedly, you’ll find yourself at altitudes exceeding 5,000 meters, crossing mountain passes that challenge both your riding skills and your spirit of adventure.

And what better way to make this journey than on the legendary Royal Enfield? This isn’t just a motorcycle tour—it’s a celebration of courage, camaraderie, and discovery. By the end, you’ll take home unforgettable memories, lifelong friendships, and the triumph of having ridden to the top of the world.

Let’s do this together!

WEATHER:

If you don’t like the weather in the Himalayas just wait for a few hours… The Himalayas are so high that they create microclimates in each valley, and the weather conditions may change very fast. It can be bright and sunny, and a few hours later it could get cloudy and cold.

Our tour is taking place during the most favorable time of the year in terms of weather conditions. However, it is very difficult to predict the temperatures. You have to be prepared for all kinds of conditions: days with bright sun shining, sudden gusts of strong cold winds, cold nights.

tempo

MOTORCYCLE GEAR:

Wearing adequate riding gear is an individual responsibility. We strongly recommend “adventure” or hard-shell type boots for this ride. Bring your own gear.

tempo

LUGGAGE:

We will be traveling light. Try not to take more than one 20kg luggage piece. It should be dust & water proof. For riding days take with you a small backpack or waterproof bag, with straps, to enable you to attach it to your motorbike.

IMPORTANT, REMEMBER:

Each participant is responsible for arranging her own tourist visa to India.

As we will be traveling at very high altitudes, it’s essential to bring sunscreen and sunglasses to protect yourself from the strong sun. This tour is rated 7/10, primarily due to the high altitudes rather than the technical difficulty of the riding.

When crossing the world’s highest mountain passes, it’s possible to experience symptoms of altitude sickness (AMS). To reduce this risk, staying hydrated is crucial—drink plenty of water throughout the journey. Should you feel unwell, rest assured that we will have an oxygen cylinder on hand for emergencies.

ACCOMMODATION & FOOD

Accommodation is a mix of hotels, guesthouses, homestays, and camps, typically in twin or triple rooms. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the tour price, with the exception of lunches and dinners in Leh. If you prefer a single room, this can be arranged upon request (subject to availability) for a supplement of 50 EUR per night.Keep in mind that much of our route takes us through remote, off-the-beaten-path areas. While accommodations in these regions may be more basic, they are always neat, clean, and full of character. These places may not offer urban luxuries such as hot showers, central heating or cooling, or lavish buffets. However, what they lack in modern amenities, they more than make up for in charm: the closeness to nature, locally sourced organic food, sustainable practices, and the heartwarming hospitality of the hosts.Each place we stay is chosen to enhance your connection with the incredible landscapes and cultures we’ll encounter along the way.
