In the heart of the Himalayas
This Indian region nestled in the Himalayan range offers varied landscapes and wide-open spaces for exploration. Punctuated by vertiginous peaks reaching 8,000 m in altitude, Ladakh unfolds through sumptuous lunar landscapes and deep valleys shaped by erosion and time.
From the Tibetan monasteries perched on the mountains to the remote villages of the valleys, Ladakh is also a journey through time that we invite you to experience in an original way.
The 12 most beautiful motorcycle, 4×4 & bike trails
Designed as a road-book and illustrated with numerous maps and photographs, this book is both a tool and a guide for independent travellers wishing to discover, understand and explore Ladakh. In this book, we offer you a selection of small trails to discover by motorcycle, 4×4 or bike.
EXPLORE LADAKH is by no means a copy and paste of a conventional tourist guide. Our guide is designed for travelers seeking adventure and authentic experiences. Each of the trails in the book was patiently unearthed as we explored the vast Himalayan landscape.
Instead of classical stops and by-the-book itineraries, we offer our readers an original format allowing you to create your trip yourself. With a perfect knowledge of the terrain, travellers can improvise their way, guided by what they fancy or who they meet, fully independently.
This Ladakh travel guide is :
- 164 color pages
- Over 100 photos
- 30 pages of maps, including high-resolution satellite maps
- More than 150 GPS points (bivouac spots, viewpoints, natural or cultural sites, etc.).
