Overview

This journey is made for riders who are seasoned in the Himalayas — or for anyone eager to dive into a new and truly unique adventure.
The roads on this tour are a dream come true for passionate motorcyclists: often clinging to absurdly steep mountainsides and almost always offering breathtaking panoramic views.

Originally, the road from Killar to Kishtwar was designed as a closed military route — now it’s open to the public. If it weren’t so remote, this road would be world-famous as one of the most spectacular on the planet.

The charming Spiti Valley remains refreshingly untouristic compared to the much-visited Ladakh. And our tour begins with a cultural highlight: the Golden Temple of Amritsar.

When I first rode from Killar to Kishtwar, I could hardly believe my eyes. The path beneath my wheels didn’t feel like a road — more like a poem carved in granite.
Even after all these years of riding in the Himalayas, I never imagined something could still surprise and astonish me like that.
