Description
Srinagar Leh Manali Bike Trip
Manali Bike Trip is through hidden over high passes in an arid. Largely treeless rain shadow, Ladakh boasts of classic Trans Himalayan scenery. Huge khaki-coloured valleys and harsh rock walls brought alive by the occasional splash of irrigated green. Traditional Tibetan Buddhist culture remains great here, with beautiful monasteries that fill into life during dance festivals that have changed little in over 500 years. This contains everything an adventure lover wants – epic treks, sparkling high-altitude mountain lakes and a well – developed backpacker infrastructure based around the capital, Leh.
Manali
Manali, one of the most famous hill stations in India, surrounded by high peaks, rivers, and valleys. Go for a walk in the lap of nature or visit popular attractions like Hadimba Temple or Manu Temple. The real Manali Leh motorcycle tour adventure will begin on the third day when you leave for Jipsa via Rohtang Pass. Then, visit Vashisht Hot Springs, Keylong, and Solang Valley. The route is popular among bikers for the variety of terrain it offers. From Jipsa, head towards Sarchu via Baralacha La Pass in the Zanskar Range. The small villages and rough patches on the route are perfect for off-roading. The lakes in Lahaul and Spiti region (Suraj Tal and Deepak Tal) are unbelievably beautiful.
You will reach Leh on the fifth day, through a daunting path that will cover Nakeela Pass, Whisky Nallah, Lachulung La pass, Pang, More Plains, and Tanglang La pass. Nakeela Pass is considered as one of the most dangerous mountain passes, due to its harsh terrain, numerous hairpin bends, and patches of ice. From Leh, visit Nubra Valley. This high-altitude cold desert experiences very low precipitation. However, the area has very some very rare flora and fauna which includes the double-humped Bactrian camels. From there, head towards the famous Pangong Tso lake. With its crystal-clear waters surrounded by mountains, the lake has become a popular shooting location for Bollywood films.
