The mere mention of the word ‘Ladakh’ makes a wanderer on two-wheels go all misty-eyed and dreamy. Irrespective of whether he/she has ridden to Ladakh or not. That’s the passion-pull this remote, cold, rugged and awesomely beautiful Himalayan Desert exerts on the living thumping heart of a motorcyclist. Endless brown, green and white mountain vistas interspersed with turquoise blue lakes and tumultuous rivers are the rewards of braving the chills, the bone-shattering roads, the altitude sickness and the sheer loneliness that this ride presents.
The road route is closed for almost 6 months a year, from end October to early May (the Manali – Leh route is closed for a month or so more than the Srinagar one) as the high mountain passes remain snow-bound for that time. During this time the only way to get to Leh is by air. The ariel route is not of obvious interest to a motorcyclist who wants to ride to Leh but attains importance if you want to do a winter ride in and around Leh.
