BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
Ride within the day, not the itinerary
Mountain roads in India are slower than any map suggests and the day ends early in the hills. Plan to arrive with daylight to spare; riding a Himalayan road after dark is the most dangerous thing on the whole trip.
Carry the paperwork
Licence, registration, insurance and photo ID, and on a border-adjacent circuit an inner-line permit as well. These are checked, and a checkpost is not a place to discover you are missing one.
Fuel is a planning problem
Pumps on high-altitude circuits can be two hundred kilometres apart and run dry. Know where the next one is before you leave the last one, and carry a spare canister where the route needs it.
Altitude affects the rider and the engine
You will feel thin air on a bike as much as on foot, and carburettors run rich. Take the acclimatisation days seriously even though you are sitting down.
Helmet, gloves, and something between you and the road
Gravel, water crossings and loose corners are the norm rather than the exception. Riding gear that would look excessive at home is about right here.

Ladakh on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Would book with them again.

Ladakh on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Days were longer than advertised and we arrived after dark more than once. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing.

Reply from Two Stroke Society

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Would send friends their way.

Ladakh on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. No hesitation recommending them.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Good value for what's included.

9 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. Would send friends their way.
