Overview
Get ready for an unforgettable 10-day journey through Ladakh's wild beauty, where you ride bikes or backpack across high mountains, sparkling lakes, and ancient villages. This trip takes you from Leh deep into Zanskar Valley, up to Hanle and Tso Moriri, and back again, a perfect mix of thrill, nature, and culture for bike fans, group travelers, or solo explorers. Over 9 nights, you'll cross high passes, see massive glaciers, visit quiet monasteries, and camp under starry skies, creating memories that last a lifetime.
Your adventure starts in Leh, the high desert town full of fresh air and stunning views. Day 1 is all about resting and getting used to the altitude after you arrive. Relax at your hotel, drink plenty of water, and meet your trip leader for a fun briefing about the days ahead. Enjoy a warm dinner and a good night's sleep to build your energy.
On Day 2, hit the road to Kargil after breakfast. Stop at Sangam, where two big rivers meet, and visit the Hall of Fame war memorial. Feel the magic at Magnetic Hill, where cars seem to roll uphill on their own, and pray at Gurudwara Pathar Sahib. Pass through Lamayuru's moon-like rocks and cross Fotula and Namika La passes for breathtaking sights. Check into your Kargil hotel for dinner and rest.
Day 3 dives into Zanskar Valley, driving to Padum, its main town with old history and rock art. Go through Rangdum village, cross Pensi La Pass, and gaze at Statso and Langtso Lakes. See the huge Drang Drung Glacier up close before settling into a cozy homestay in Padum.
Day 4 heads to Purne village. Along the way, explore Phuktal Monastery, built right into a cliff with caves used by wise men thousands of years ago. The rocky paths feel like stepping back in time. Relax in your Purne homestay with dinner.
Day 5 takes you from Purne to Sarchu. Pass Kargyak, the last Zanskar village, see the holy Gombo Rangzan mountain, and climb Shinku La Pass, one of the highest roads around. Join the main highway near Darcha and reach Sarchu camps for a starry night.
Day 6 brings you to Tso Moriri Lake. Drive past Puga Valley's hot springs, tackle the twisty Gata Loops, cross the wide More Plains, and go over Nakee La and Lachung La passes. Stop at Tso Kar Lake, then arrive at Tso Moriri's blue waters for a peaceful evening in cottages.
On Day 7, ride to Hanle, a high village on the old Silk Route. Spot rare birds like black-necked cranes amid green fields and colorful hills. Hanle has India's biggest sky-watching observatory, perfect for stargazing. Stay in cottages or homestays.
Day 8 is pure excitement: a trip to Mig La or Umling La, some of the world's highest roads you can drive on. Ride through open lands with amazing views, snap photos at the top, and return to Hanle buzzing with energy.
Day 9 loops back to Leh. Pass Chumathang's warm springs, visit Shey Palace and Thiksey Monastery for a taste of Ladakh's kings and monks, then shop in Leh's lively markets. End with dinner at your hotel.
Day 10 is departure day. After breakfast, head to the airport with full hearts and new friends, ready to share your stories.
This trip includes bikes or backpacking gear, all meals, stays in hotels, homestays, and camps, permits, and expert guides. It's safe yet thrilling, with time to rest and enjoy. It's your chance to conquer passes over 16,000 feet, chase lakes, and find peace in remote spots. Book now and make Ladakh your next big story!

This review is regarding Zanskar expedition.
Zanskar Valley(Ladakh) is a remote location. The trip was very well managed and taken care of. Captain Shubham and Ashish really made sure that everyone is at good health as ladakh is at higher altitude. They provided all the information in the briefing. I had a great trip.
Feedback - Kargil stay(caravan sarai) wasn’t good. It would be great if they change it as it wasn’t hygienic.

I travelled with Justwravel to Leh with Hanle for 8N/9D and I had the best experience. The services were amazing- be it hotels, rooms, traveller, bike ride- everything was just perfect.
Ramneek and Manjunath were trip leaders and they were the best. They took good care and got the best medical care from both of them. They bought a cake and celebrated my birthday with full excitement.
Really looking forward for my next trip with Justwravel and hopefully Ramneek and Manju.
Swati Gupta
Just did the Leh- umling La Hanle trip with Justwravel. It was truly an amazing journey. Team Leader Shashank and Ramneek were great and extremely knowledgeable with a lot of experience. The entire trip was full of unexpected adventure and a lot of fun. Will definitely plan out Tawang with the same team.
