Manali To Leh Bike Trip
Tour Highlights
A Manali to Leh bike trip is an exhilarating journey for adventure seekers, covering approximately 474 km through some of the most challenging and scenic terrain in the Indian Himalayas. The ride typically spans 7 to 10 days, taking bikers across high-altitude passes like Rohtang Pass (3,978 m), Baralacha La (4,890 m), and Tanglang La (5,328 m), which is among the highest motorable roads in the world.

The trip is filled with breathtaking views of snow-clad peaks, wide river valleys, and serene lakes such as Tso Kar.
Riders need to be prepared for extreme weather, fluctuating altitudes, and tough road conditions, but the sheer thrill of riding through such raw beauty makes it a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It’s essential to acclimatize properly, carry the right gear, and ensure that both the bike and the rider are in peak condition for the demanding ride.
