You can check-in to Day 1 your rooms and get some rest. We know you're excited, but acclimatization is one of the important things to prepare for while planning trip to Ladakh, considering the fact that Leh and most of the places in Ladakh are located above the altitude of 10,000 ft. So dedicating a day to acclimatize our body to the high altitude condition weather and warm-up for the upcoming cycling journey in this region is highly recommended. We walk around the city, and visit the Leh locl market. If time permits, we will visit the War Memorial Museum. The Memorial was built in the memory of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the Kargil war of 1999. In addition, we fix your cycles to make them ready for the ride the next day. You will gather expert tips for biking and safety instructions from our trip leader. After an early breakfast, we will hit the Keylong-Leh road in the wee hours of the morning to avoid any traffic. We will ride past Shey and Hemis leisurely on a straight road sandwiched between mesmerizing landscapes on either side. We ride up till Karu and take a turn towards Sakti, a small village in Leh district. Sakti is the perfect location to halt today as it offers spell-bounding views of gigantic mountains during the day and a sky full of zillions of stars at night, all this while you can hear the soft music of river streams flowing nearby. Day 2 Total Distance: 50 km Elevation: 3710mtrs www.thomascook.in We will embark on our first climb today. As we ride out of Sakti, one cannot miss but notice that with only few hundred households, a school and the Thak Thok Monastery this dainty village is content and yet boastful of its serenity and two high-altitude passes - the lesser known Wari La and the more popular Chang La. We climb the quiet but welcoming Wari La at 5280m, stop to click pictures and then descent the last few miles to halt at our campsite in Tangyar at 3900m. The Wari La is still unexplored and non-touristy hence, you'll find very few Day 3 vehicles and people on this route. Total Distance: 60 km Elevation: 5280mtrs We enjoy a relatively gentle ride today as we pedal alongside the Shyok River - the "River of Death". The Shyok is fed by melted ice water from numerous glaciers gushing at high speed and is known to have taken away lives of people trying to cross it. Thus, for these many years Shyok has shielded Ladakh from foreign invaders from across borders. We end our journey at the Panamik village where you can enjoy a dip in the hot water springs of Panamik that are enriched with high amount of Sulphur and believed to cure various health ailments. Day 4 Total Distance: 70 km Elevation: 3500mtrs www.thomascook.in We ride back on the same road which is now an easy descent leading towards Khalsar. From Khalsar a short climb will bring us to the Khardung village where we can retire for the day so we're well-rested before the big climb the next day. Total Distance: 55 km Day 5 Elevation: 3970mtrs We ride back on the same road which is now an easy descent leading towards Khalsar. From Khalsar a short climb will bring us to the Khardung village where we can retire for the day so we're well-rested before the big climb the next day. Total Distance: 55 km Day 6 Elevation: 3970mtrs www.thomascook.in The Khardung La claims to be the highest motorable pass in the world and today we get on our saddle to conquer it. We challenge ourselves to ride uphill for about 34km to reach the Khardung La, which is tough but worth every pedal pushed. The view from the top is spectacular, stretching from the Indus valley in the South over the endless peaks and ridges of the Zanskar range to the giants of the Saser Massif in the North. From here, we descend downhill with the cool breeze blowing in our face for the next 39km and end our journey in Leh.
