Day 1  Chandigarh Arrival

Touch down in Chandigarh - The City Beautiful! Meet the team at the designated hotel. Collect your motorbikes in the evening and do a test ride on the clean and smooth roads of Chandigarh. An orientation session and a team briefing are organized to appraise you of what to expect over the next 10 days.

 Day 2  Chandigarh - Narkanda

Wake up leisurely and treat yourself to a wholesome breakfast. We ride towards the idyllic hamlet of Narkanda. Being a less popular hill station, Narkanda has retained its exquisiteness and is a perfect destination to start riding as a nice warm-up from the plains to the lower Himalayas through some highways and winding roads. Our day ends in a boutique property by soaking ourselves in the serenity of the surrounding orchards.

 Day 3  Narkanda - Sangla

It is an early start today. The ride takes us downhill to the 'Sutlej' as we coast along the river for the major part of the day. The ferocity of Sutlej is both mesmerizing and intimidating at the same time. Our day ends in 'Sangla', after visiting Chitkul, the last village on the Indo-Tibetan Highway. We check in at our luxurious Swiss Camps set up near the Baspa River for the night and relax.

 Day 4  Sangla - Kalpa

On this day, we start our day leisurely and ride on some precariously narrow roads towards the idyllic meadows of Rakcham and Chitkul. We retrace our way back after having our lunch and climb up to the village of Kalpa. This sleepy little town dotted with apple orchards offers stunning views of the Kinner Kailash mountain and is a perfect place to end the day's riding.

 Day 5  Kalpa - Tabo

The landscapes from here on get barren and the roads more challenging. Our ride is marked with crests and troughs all day to reach 'Nako - the legendary village on a hilltop connecting Kinnaur with Spiti Valley. A detour from the main highway takes us to 'Gue' where we visit a real 'mummy' from the 15th century. We continue and reach Tabo, our destination for the day.

 Day 6  Tabo - Pin Valley - Kaza

Our day starts by scaling the treacherous roads of Spiti as we take detours to the high-altitude villages of Dhankar and Mudh (Pin Valley). The views of the rustic mountains carved by the 'Spiti' and its tributaries are magical. Today's highlight is to visit the cliff-hanging fort called 'Dhangkar' and the off-road trails of Pin Valley. The village of 'Kaza is where our day ends, the gateway to the hidden paradise of Spiti.

 Day 7  Kaza - Langza - Komic - Hikkim - Kaza

Keeping Kaza as the base we explore the Martian landscapes of Spiti further. Our day takes us along to visit the stunningly beautiful hamlets of 'Langza' (the fossil village), 'Komic' (the highest village connected with a road) and 'Hikkim' which is home to arguably the highest post office in the world.

 Day 8  Kaza - Chandratal

On this day we start our day early and ride across the famous Kunzum pass (14,9328 ft) and drive further to Chandra Tal. This stunning high-altitude lake is accessible only by walking the last 800 meters. One can also do a parikrama of the lake and enjoy some stunning views of the glacier that feeds the lake.

 Day 9   Chandratal - Manali

It's an arduous journey to Manali from Chandratal. We cross the glacial points of Chota Dhara and Dorni. You will be riding on dried-up river beds strewn with rocks of all shapes and sizes which puts both men and their machines to the grind! On reaching Sissu, we take the Atal Tunnel and zip down to Manali.

 Day 10  Tour Ends

As the adage goes - 'All good things come to an end!' But this end, for sure, is a glorious one! One replete with tons of exciting stories and sweet memories. Post a hearty breakfast, we bid goodbye to each other and carry on with our plans of travel from thereon.
