Ladakh and Zanskar: Ladakh literally, ‘Land of many passes’, and Zanskar meaning 'white copper or brass' is one of the only places left on the planet where Tibetan Buddhism still flourishes as it has for thousands of years. Situated in the northernmost part of India, bordering the Karakoram Range and Tibet, it is surely one of the last unspoiled ultimate destinations. Part of the ancient Silk Route to the Orient, closed to outsiders until 1974, Ladakh also contains the world’s highest motorable pass, Umling-La at 5,882 m (19,300 ft). ​This 14 day motorcycle expedition takes us from Ladakh's capital city of Leh, along the Indus River Valley, to Kargil, and then into the heart of Zanskar. We ride the breadth of this magical land and exit into Himachal Pradesh, tipping our hats to the original High Roads Expedition by riding a section of the Leh-Manali road. From here we diverge again, venturing off to Ladakh's incredible lakes, Tso Kar, and Tso Moriri. After ascending Umling-La, we return to Leh via Pangong Lake, the largest high elevation salt water lake in the world.
