Mountain Biking

Unarguably, Ladakh is the paradise for mountain bikers. The meandering roads cutting their way through the awe-inspiring scenery is where all the mountain biking inspiration can be found. Cycling in Ladakh is about riding through the rugged trails or along the rushing Indus and Zanskar Rivers or to some high mountain passes like Khardung La.

Mountain Biking in Ladakh is not only about adrenaline rush and facing the challenges, it is also a great way to witness the culture and traditions of varied regions. This adventure activity in Ladakh is also perfect to explore the offbeat Buddhist Monasteries and relishing the lesser-known side of this beautiful Himalayan destination in India.
