Level: Challenging

     Now the challenge begins; a mountain bike dream! A 10-day expedition over the roof of the world. The roads and dirt tracks in the area offer you an entrance into the home of the nomadic people. A mountain bike can take you to more remote locations than most other modest of transport, and in the Indian Himalayas the word ‘remote’ takes on a whole new meaning. If you are looking for the experience of challenging climbs, and some of the best downhill on this planet, this trip is a must.
     As you cycle towards the magical town of Leh, concentration is needed for biking and taking in these last images.

     As the multi-coloured prayer flags flash by, you will take an expedition across a high plateau to our goal…….Leh, also known as ‘LittleTibet’.

     This is a mystical place where uplifting terrain hides picturesque valleys and ancient monasteries.

     It seems impossible that a town can exist in the heart of these mountains yet a whole community of friendly Buddhist people will give you the warmest welcome helping you to celebrate your achievement and reflecting on an amazing adventure.
