Manali
In morning we come to pick you up at the Kullu Airport or at the bus station and drive you to your hotel. Our representatives are there to provide you all the services and soon you’ll be introduced to the bikes and all details about the tour. Go-Pro Cameras on helmets, riding gears, Royal Enfield Bikes, let’s start riding around Manali Valley with Adventure activities!
Manali-Keylong
On that day, we’ll start riding in direction of Keylong, traveling over the Rohtang pass which reaches an altitude of 4050m and from where you can see the snow white peaks of Lahaul Mountains that contrast with fluttering Buddhist prayer flags along the way.The pass provides a natural divide between the sub-humid/humid Kullu Valley with a primarily Hindu culture (in the south), and the arid/semi-arid high-altitude Lahaul and Spiti valleys with a Buddhist culture (in the north). From that side, we follow our route towards Keylong. Situated at an altitude of 3440 m, Keylong is the headquarters of Lahaul and Spiti district of Himachal Pradesh and the most populated place of that region. The region is strange, exciting, primitive mountainous and delightful. Among the white and brown mountain, Keylong stands out as oasis of greenery in the district. Rudyard Kipling said of the region “Surely the God live here, this no place for men.” Lahaul and Spiti have hardly changed with the time. People still live the way they used to live and strongly believe in conserving nature. Valley, river, mountains and green landscape makes Keylong an exciting picturesque destination for bikers and aside from its amazing landscape, the vicinity of Keylong offers several places, temples, monasteries and bazaar which are worth visiting.
Keylong - Triloknath - Urgos
We take the road in direction of Urgos. On the road we’ll stop to Trilokinath famous for its temple are beautiful picturesque streets. ‘Trilikonath’ is one of the names of the Hindu god, Shiva, meaning the “Lord of the Three Worlds”, but local tradition clearly relates that it was originally a Buddhist Monastery, although nothing remains of the original building. After the visit, we hit the road again through the typical lahauli countryside full of meadows and wild flower and reach our final destination of the day, Urgos, a charming village in the heartland of Lahaul and quite prosperous.
Urgos - Udaipur - Killar
Killar
Killar, 2591m altitude, is the administrative headquarters of the Pangi Valley. In comparison to other places in the valley, Killar is a small town buzzing with life. The matchbox shaped houses packed together on the green mountain ranges give a queer picture. A visit of Killar village and its surroundings are planned.
Killar - Sach Pass - Chamba
Let’s go for an extreme ride on one of the most treacherous road of Himachal Pradesh. 4400m above sea level, Sach Pass is very important pass of Himachal Pradesh in India as it connects the tribal area of Pangi to the district headquaters of Chamba. There is a famous temple on the Sach Pach top known as Jotta Wali Mata temple. After reaching the top, we start our descent in direction of Chamba through a large meadow and glaciers.
Chamba
Known for its untouched natural beauty, Chamba is a small but attractive tourist destination of Himachal Pradesh. Its five lakes, wild life sanctuaries and countless number of temples count also among its main attractions. The day is yours to visit Chamba and its surroundings.
Chamba - Dharamshala
Leaving this charming setting, we will discover on that day Dharamsala, also called the little Lhassa because 15 000 Tibetan refugees live there around the 14th Dalai Lama residence. Rest of the day at leisure for sightseeing in the city. Its many temples, its lake, its art gallery, Dharamsala has a lot to offer in that field.
Dharamshala
On the schedule, lots of adventure activities such as temples visits, a hike to the wonderful Bhagsu waterfalls, paragliding or, for the most courageous, an ascent to admire the spectacular view of Himalayan peaks.
Dharamshala - Manali
Back in town of adventure through the beautiful valley of Manali. The rest of the day is yours to visit Manali and its surroundings which will always astonish you with its natural and cultural wealth.

Sach Pass is a (4420 m/14500 ft) high mountain pass in Chamba District, Himachal Pradesh, India on the Pir Panjal Range of the Himalayas.
The pass is open from June or early July to mid-October. The road is narrow and unmetalled. It is the gateway to the Pangi Valley.
1998 chamba massacre also took place at Satrundi & Kalaban when 35 Hindus, mostly labourers, were shot down by terrorists, and 11 were injured. They were working for this Saach Pass road. Reason being lack of security but now the whole area is under surveillance and is now getting more popular among trekkers and tourists.
