India is an ancient mystical phenomenon in perpetuity. There are
wonderful and breath taking landscapes, nowhere-to-be-found moonscapes and
timeless spiritual wisdom. It can only be imbibed first hand by coming to India
and traveling like a monk. There is nothing like Riding a motor bike Ladakh - and
travel these ancient landscapes for an inward journey of a life.
Ladakh constitutes two-third of Jammu & Kashmir state - which has a
unique moon-scape. It is largely an extension of Tibetan plateau and the
seamless culture of monks. The brown mountains break into fantasy colours as
you look closer, to the bright green oasis around villages in the river
valleys. Centuries old monastries, perched over rock cliffs, cradle the ancient
traditions of mystical Buddhism, exquisite frescoes and priceless thangkas.
This highest cold desert in the world is a journey of self-discovery at
altitudes exceeding 12000 ft above mean sea level. You pass the deep river
gorges as you explore to the world's highest motorable passes. This route is
surely one of the toughest motorcycle rides anywhere in the world. Only the fit
and seasoned motor cyclists are advised to take on the rugged Himalayas.
