  • SissuSissu on the far side is the first stop.
  • Baralacha LaSarchu sleeps at 4,290 m and it is the night people feel.
  • Gata LoopsThe longest saddle day of the trip.
  • Leh PalaceNot a spare day.
  • Khardung LaTwenty minutes at the top is plenty.
  • Diskit MonasteryIt is 5,359 m and the tea shop is not worth the headache.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for.

One of the bikes had problems from day two and the spare took a while to arrive. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.
