The Unventured Manali to Leh Cycling Expedition
The Manali to Leh cycling tour is one of the most sought after experiences for cyclists in India and our flagship expedition . It takes a magical blend of endurance & mental preparedness to accomplish it; which is why very few dare it. Unlike most Expeditions in the region we aim to offer a complete experience that combines the endurance with local off the beaten path experiences enjoyed in the company of like minded travellers. We’ve ensured and well planned a trail that you will endure but also have the luxury of pausing to soak in the views of the Himalayan passes, stop and enjoy its beauty and celebrate a journey in the company of like minded TRAVELLERS.
On our tour we’ve ensured we put a good mix of local experiences like an overnight camp stay by the edge of TsoKar lake, stay at a local home-stay in a quaint village where you can walk around the village and make conversations with the locals.
The tour is broken up into 2 parts
Cycle Ride: 10 Days
Experience Leh : 3 days (Motorized transport)
You will average in at 55Km per day but will be faced with days that are more intense and longer than some other day. The itinerary and each day’s ride distance is carefully planned from years of experience in offering tours in the region. The intensity of the tour increases with each day and this ensures your body also get acclimatized to the conditions.
