Manali-Zanskar-Kargil-Dras-Ladakh-Umlingla-Manali Motorbike Trip – Actively, a tour through northern India is classically making an enormous trend, with a challenging route linking the most exciting regions of the Indian Himalayas. Earlier, there seemed to be a long journey going to Kargil and then Zanskar, but presently the new route got introduced from Zanskar – that is vitally explored by the motorbikers.
Precisely, due to snowfall, the road remains open for only about six months of the year from Kargil, leaving Zanskar cut off from Ladakh. As it is the path that is traveled less or because it is the most isolated place of all Himalayan valleys cut off from the rest of the world for over 9 months
Furthermore, the wide views and sceneries of the ancient cave as well as monasteries. Widely, the motorbike trip is an adventurous ride terrain, the unique social practice of polyandry is more than a reason to ride along with one of the largest glaciers.
Interestingly, the mountains of Zanskar & land of unique traditions are enormously exciting and adventurous places to be visited preferably visited in the summers.

General Tips for Himalayan Bike Ride
- Get enough sleep, stay hydrated, and never ride without your gear. Remember that AMS can strike you at high altitudes. Fatigue increases the likelihood.
- Take frequent breaks to straighten your back, say 10 minutes every hour of riding.
- Prepare your rain gear. Long rides to places like Ladakh or Zanskar require a complete rain suit as well as shoes. You should also have a long plastic cover for your luggage.
- Your best friend is the helmet. Purchase a helmet that fits you perfectly.
- Drink plenty of water and keep a water bottle with you at all times.
- Wet hands are a pain in the ‘you know where.’
- A comfortable pair of shoes, such as Quechua Foreclaz or (if you don’t mind) Gum Boots.
A warm and comfortable jacket. - A full-face helmet and a muffler to cover your neck. Rep the full face.
- Carry plastic-polythene bags in order to wrap them around your lower or riding pants as gaiters. You can even put them on your socks and remember to return them.
