Description

Exciting news! The world’s highest motorable road, Umlingla Pass, is now open for a thrilling bike trip. This journey is no easy feat, so be prepared physically and mentally. Note that there’s no cellular service except for BSNL Postpaid in Hanle. Departing from Hanle, you’ll encounter the Hanle Bridge and the Kalatartar plain, a barren straight road where you might spot Tibetan Gazelles.

The Umlingla bike trip features the picturesque Kala Tartar plains and a blacktop road. Riding towards Nerbo-la Pass (5282 m), take a break to enjoy the stunning view. Keep an eye out for a signboard declaring you’re above Everest Base Camp—a heartwarming achievement. Continuing on, you’ll reach the world’s highest motorable road, Umlingla Pass (5798 m), surpassing Khardungla Pass.

Venture a bit further to reach Demjok, the last village on the Indo-China border. Remember, there are no restaurants or ATMs from Hanle to Umlingla. The distance from Hanle to the top is 75 km, taking around 5 hours via Nerbo-la Pass. Another route via Photi la Pass is 115 km, taking roughly 7 hours.

To embark on this adventure, reach Hanle through various routes:

  • Fly directly to Leh, then visit Hanle via Karu – Upshi – Chumathang – Nyoma – Hanle (260 km, 8 hrs).
  • Start from Manali – Jespa – Serchu – Tsomoriri – Hanle (490 km, 2 days).
  • After the Nubra and Pangong trip, go to Chuchul – Tsaga-la – Nyoma – Hanle.

Ajanta Boro

We had a great experience renting out a bike for our 6 days of tour. What we wanted was a well maintained bike since we were travelling all by ourselves and we just got that and much more. For one of the off-roading routes, we were allowed to join their tour group so that we had the support if needed, just in case. All along, very friendly team and professional services. Recommend them %, if you are looking forward to a bike tour in Laddakh.

Shivkumar Jayaram

Recently we as a group had an opportunity to use their services on a bike trip in Ladakh. I really really applaud Dawa, Phunchok and their team in organising a flawless itinerary. They made sure all the group members were taken care of in terms of comfort and more importantly safety. They were so supportive and caring too. Really appreciate their services and am looking forward to another trip with them.

Bikash Doley

Well maintained fleet of bikes. Every evening post ride the bikes are checked and maintained. We experienced this when we were riding alongside a group tour which they were leading. Even though we were not a part of the group (but happened to be riding on the same route at the same time) even our bike was checked and maintained.

Mihisara Hettithanthri

I’ve booked a full tour from Endeavour Ladakh all the way from Melbourne Australia and they provided excellent service and great bikes for my trip. Highly recommended and best in Ladakh.
