redspokes India : Spiti - Ladakh 22 Day Adventure Cycle Holiday
This cycling adventure from Spiti to Ladakh combines ever changing panoramas on rough terrain and challenging weather conditions. Experience awe inspiring mystical overtones in isolated mountain locations. The extremes of the journey intensify the aesthetics of landscape, culture and local communities on your journey from Chandigarh to Leh.
This adventure holiday is a thrilling journey of contrasts from beautiful valleys to expansive barren landscapes. The high mountain ranges divert cloud cover from the area, resulting in wide open arid desert like terrain. Dotted across the region you'll encounter religious culture: monasteries, pray flags and sacred symbolism.
We cycle over major passes, two of which are over 5000m (16,400ft). An old trading route and described as a 'highway', the Spiti to Leh road is in fact narrow in places and for much of the year exposed to extreme weather conditions and blocked by snow, although we will avoid this on our trip.
