Top of the world Himalaya Tour

Upon your arrival at the Delhi airport and retrieval of your luggage from baggage claim, please proceed to the arrival hall where our local representative will extend a warm welcome to you. Once everyone has gathered, we will transfer to the hotel for a brief period of rest. In the late evening, we will embark on a journey to Manali via night bus, arriving early the following morning.

Take in the breathtaking vistas of the Dhauladhar and Pir Panjal Ranges, which attract tourists year-round. Our exploration begins with an introduction to the motorbikes and the local tour leader team. Following this, we’ll venture out to explore the main street and the mall road, an integral part of the highway leading to downtown. We highly recommend exploring Old Manali to indulge in shopping and sampling local cuisine.

Following a local breakfast, we’ll begin the day with a test ride on our Royal Enfields, immersing ourselves in the true passion for driving through this magnificent landscape. You’re encouraged to ride around the city and its surrounding areas, exploring at your own pace. Dive into the local markets to get a taste of the culture and perhaps find some unique treasures. We’ll reconvene for dinner at the hotel, sharing stories and experiences from our day’s adventures.

We kick off our riding adventure by heading towards Jispa, a charming mountain village nestled amidst rivers and spectacular peaks. Riding along the famous Leh-Manali Highway, we’ll encounter views and curves that will etch themselves into your biker’s heart forever. This journey also marks our first exposure to the erstwhile Buddhist kingdom, renowned for its unparalleled beauty and myriad opportunities for exploration.

Continuing our tour along the spectacular Leh-Manali Highway and Leh Road, we traverse some of the highest passes and snow-covered mountains, providing an exhilarating sensation of riding over clouds with the world lying at our feet. Our majestic journey culminates in Sarchu, where we’ll enjoy a delightful evening immersed in the local culture, residing in charming tented accommodations.

Today we embark on a thrilling journey across two of the highest mountain passes worldwide, each poised to leave you awe-struck by their sheer beauty and magnificence. As we traverse the Lachulung La pass, standing at an elevation of 4920 meters, prepare to witness the surreal sight of clouds swirling overhead and mountains vanishing into the mist. Our adventure continues to the Tanglang La pass, towering at a breathtaking height of 5350 meters above sea level. Accessible only for four months of the year due to heavy snowfall, this pass offers a rare opportunity to behold its unparalleled grandeur. Having conquered these majestic passes, we arrive in the enchanting city of Leh, where the afternoon awaits us with further exploration and discovery.

Today is dedicated to exploring the spiritual heart of the region with visits to the monasteries of Hemis, Thiksey, Shey, and the Shanti Stupa. These sites offer a deep dive into the rich cultural and religious tapestry of the area, showcasing stunning architecture, intricate art, and serene environments conducive to reflection and peace. After immersing ourselves in these spiritual havens, we return to Leh. The evening is yours to wander through the local markets, where you can absorb the vibrant atmosphere, shop for local handicrafts, and savor traditional cuisines.

Our journey back to Leh retraces the same route, allowing us to revisit the stunning landscapes and majestic vistas we encountered on our way to Nubra Valley. However, this time, the scenery may appear in a different light, casting new shadows and illuminating previously unseen details. Once again, we pause at the summit of the Khardung La Pass, where breathtaking panoramic views stretch out before us.

As we journey back to Jispa, we traverse once more through the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Himalayas, where majestic mountains, winding rivers, and verdant valleys create a breathtaking tapestry of natural beauty. Along the way, we pause to drink in the splendor of the Lachalung La pass, where clouds drift lazily overhead and distant peaks pierce the skyline.

With each passing mile, we are reminded of the raw grandeur of the Himalayan terrain, its rugged contours, and pristine beauty leaving an indelible impression on our souls.  Back in Jispa, we reflect on the day’s journey, grateful for the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the timeless majesty of the Himalayas.

As our exhilarating journey through the awe-inspiring Himalayas draws to a close, we embark on our final day of driving. Reveling in the thrill of navigating the winding roads of the Leh Manali Highway, we make our way to Manali by afternoon. Returning our motorcycles, we retire to the hotel and come together for a heartfelt farewell dinner, cherishing the memories created amidst the majestic landscapes of the Himalayas.

Today, you have the entire day at your leisure to explore Delhi and unwind after your exhilarating Top of the World Himalayan Trip. Take this opportunity to delve into the diverse culture, history, and flavors of India’s capital city. You might want to visit iconic landmarks, such as the Red Fort, India Gate, and Qutub Minar, or explore the bustling markets of Chandni Chowk for some last-minute shopping and sampling of local delicacies.
