Ride along the cutting-edge Nimmu–Padum–Darcha (NPD) Road, a high-altitude engineering marvel carving through deep river gorges and remote valleys. Pass dramatic landscape formations along the Zanskar River and witness the famous confluence of the Zanskar and Indus rivers at Sangam before rolling into Leh.

Scale the winding mountain switchbacks up to Khardung La Pass (17,582 ft), enjoying sweeping vistas of the Karakoram range. Descend into the picturesque Nubra Valley to reach Hunder, where you can watch the sunset over high-altitude desert sand dunes and spot double-humped Bactrian Camels.

Follow the rugged trail alongside the turquoise waters of the Shyok River, tackling rocky off-road stretches, riverbeds, and mountain bends. Arrive at the iconic Pangong Tso, where the high-altitude salt lake reflects vibrant shades of blue against the backdrop of the Tibetan border peaks.

Journey into the vast open wilderness of the Changthang region toward the ultimate high-altitude summit: Umling La Pass (19,024 ft), the world's highest motorable road. After conquering the pass, descend into the peaceful sanctuary of Hanle, famous for the Hanle Monastery and the Indian Astronomical Observatory.

• Overnight stay in Hanle

Ride across the high-altitude flat plains connecting Hanle to the main Leh–Manali highway. Traverse the expansive More Plains and navigate down the famous 21 hairpin bends of the Gata Loops, passing through Nakee La and Lachung La before setting up camp at the cold, windswept plains of Sarchu.
