Today is one of the most thrilling days of your Ladakh bike trip as you ride toward Nubra Valley via the world-famous Khardung La Pass. Known as one of the highest motorable roads in the world, Khardung La stands at an altitude of over 18,000 feet. The ride up the pass is filled with sharp turns, breathtaking views, and the unmatched thrill of conquering high-altitude terrain.

After crossing the pass, you descend into the spectacular Nubra Valley, often referred to as the Valley of Flowers of Ladakh. The landscape shifts dramatically into a cold desert surrounded by snow-covered peaks. Upon arrival, visit Diskit Monastery, home to the giant Maitreya Buddha statue overlooking the valley. Later, explore the sand dunes of Hunder, where rare double-humped Bactrian camels add a unique desert charm to the Himalayas. Overnight stay in Nubra Valley.

This day is dedicated to exploring Turtuk, one of the northernmost villages of India near the Indo-Pak border. The ride from Nubra to Turtuk is incredibly scenic, following the Shyok River through rugged mountain landscapes. Turtuk offers a completely different cultural experience, influenced by Balti heritage, with apricot orchards, stone houses, and warm local hospitality.

Walking through the narrow village lanes feels like stepping into a hidden Himalayan world untouched by mass tourism. After spending quality time exploring this offbeat destination, you ride back to Nubra Valley by evening. The journey offers peaceful river views and golden mountain hues during sunset. Overnight stay in Nubra.

Today you take the adventurous Shyok route from Nubra Valley to Pangong Lake, one of the most scenic and thrilling stretches of the Ladakh bike tour. The route follows the Shyok River, offering dramatic mountain backdrops, water crossings, and long isolated stretches of raw Himalayan beauty.

As you approach Pangong Lake, the sight of the vast blue water surrounded by barren mountains is nothing short of magical. Pangong Lake, stretching across the India-China border, is famous for its ever-changing shades of blue depending on the sunlight. Spend your evening walking along the lakeshore, capturing photographs, and absorbing the silence of this high-altitude wonder. Overnight stay near Pangong Lake under a sky full of stars.

Wake up early to witness a mesmerizing sunrise at Pangong Lake, where golden light reflects beautifully on the water’s surface. After breakfast, you begin your ride back to Leh via Chang La Pass, another iconic high-altitude mountain pass. The road to Chang La offers spectacular panoramic views and thrilling riding conditions.

As you descend toward Leh, the landscape gradually transitions back to familiar terrains. Upon reaching Leh, the evening is free for relaxation, café hopping, souvenir shopping in Leh Market, or simply celebrating the successful completion of your epic Ladakh bike expedition. Overnight stay in Leh.

After breakfast, it is time to bid farewell to Ladakh.
