Manali to Leh Motorcycle Tour

Manali to Leh is the classic high road: tunnel into Lahaul, river camps, Baralacha, Sarchu, Morey Plains, Tanglang, then the Indus. It is not a race. Riders who treat it as a race arrive in Leh talking about their head instead of the mountains.

Motorcycle tours for Manali to Leh

Hardev Motors runs this line as Divine Zanskar & Leh and related summer departures. The highway is the spine. Zanskar is the reason many groups do not turn around at Pangong.

Nights at Keylong and Jispa exist because altitude arrives before Leh. Skip them on a private date and you will still pay, just later, in a medical tent.

Riding Manali to Leh

Baralacha La and Tanglang La are the named saddles. Weather sits on both. The Atal Tunnel is how through-traffic now leaves Manali; Rohtang is extra when it is open.

A support vehicle carries luggage. You ride a Himalayan that was prepared in Vashisht, not a tourist 350 with a luggage rack from a different decade.

When to ride

Late May through September, depending on snow. June and July are the volume months. September can be clear and cold. October is a gamble we will not sell as certainty.
