| Day 1 |
After arriving in Delhi, we’ll be picked up at the airport. In the morning, we take the train to Amb and then continue to Garli/Pragpur. A lovely hotel awaits, perfect for relaxing and recovering from the journey. |
| Day 2 |
We ride through the green Himalayas to Bir, India’s paragliding hotspot. A gentle start to the adventure, passing rice fields and the rolling hills of the Kangra Valley. |
| Day 3 |
On quiet, little-traveled roads, we pass through remote valleys and villages to the Tirthan Valley. Overnight in a charming heritage cottage by the Tirthan River, surrounded by apple orchards. |
| Day 4 |
We climb a spectacular narrow mountain road to the Jalori Pass at 3,200 meters and continue along steep slopes to Sarahan. The highlight is the Bhimakali Temple, sacred to both Buddhists and Hindus, standing proudly over the valley. On clear days, the view stretches to several 6,000-meter peaks. |
| Day 5 |
We start early along the old India-Tibet Highway, with stunning views of Kinnaur Kailash (6,032 m). Following the Sutlej Gorge, we gradually leave the Hindu cultural landscape behind and enter a Tibetan-like world. Our destination is the small, traditional village of Nako. |
| Day 6 |
A short ride takes us to the Tibetan-style village of Tabo. Here we visit the famous monastery with unique 9th-century artwork. Founded by the scholar Rinchen Zangpo, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. |
| Day 7 |
Today we explore the Spiti Valley, with optional detours into side valleys. We arrive in Kaza in time to enjoy a relaxed afternoon in the hotel garden. |
| Day 8 |
The day is all about Spiti’s monasteries. We visit selected monasteries at a relaxed pace and stroll through local villages. In the evening, we drive to Kibber, one of the highest human settlements in the world. |
| Day 9 |
We continue on gravel roads through the Spiti Valley into a rugged, high-altitude landscape. Our destination is Chandertal Lake, around 4,000 meters up. Overnight in a simple tented camp with beds right by the lake. This day also serves as a buffer for any weather delays and for further acclimatization. |
| Day 10 |
We set off early for a varied and spectacular day, first crossing the Kunzum-La Pass at 4,550 meters, then riding through the stunning Rohtang region, and finally passing through the semi-arid Lahaul Valley, before arriving at a comfortable hotel in Keylong. |
| Day 11 |
Today’s ride takes us through dramatic landscapes into another adventure. We stop at the traditional Triloknath Temple, then continue past Udaipur on an exciting off-road stretch. This part of the journey takes us into one of the most remote regions of the Indian Himalayas. |
| Day 12 |
We ride along one of the region’s — and possibly the world’s — most spectacular roads, long considered the “most dangerous road in the world,” but now much safer. It’s a full day of riding with incredible views, optional for those seeking more adventure. Those preferring a slower pace can relax at the guesthouse. |
| Day 13 |
The Sach Pass is one of the trip’s unforgettable highlights—not because of its height, but for the breathtaking variety of landscapes and the striking contrast between the two sides of the mountains it links. |
| Day 14 |
We cross the scenic Jot Pass through the Chamba Valley on our way to Dharamshala — a beautiful and varied ride over a classic Himalayan pass. |
| Day 15 |
A leisurely day to relax and take in the surroundings, with time for shopping, gentle walks, and a visit to our home base. Dharamshala, at the heart of India’s Tibetan exile community and home to the Tibetan government-in-exile, provides the perfect ending to our journey. |
| Day 16 |
In the morning, we drive to Amritsar. The day is calm, allowing time to settle in before visiting the magnificent Golden Temple — the spiritual and cultural heart of the Sikh community — in the evening. |
| Day 17 |
Transfer to the airport for a short domestic flight from Amritsar to Delhi, from where we board our international flight, leaving with a pocket full of cherished memories from this unforgettable journey. |
