It's a beautiful place. I helped there at a charity project in 3 years each summer for 3 weeks a couple of years ago, and rode up the Khardungla from Leh in 2018. It's a very special experience
Srinagar to Leh took about 10 days and so did the second part of the trip that you see here. Don't forget to add 4 or 5 days to adjust to elevation if you fly directly to Leh and start from there (3500 metres).
What were the temperature ranges? And also the route? I'm thinking of taking my bike out here for few months from Chiangmai, Thailand. I'd love a few of the details!? What were some handy things for this trip? Powerbanks weren't too big of an issue, and you guys camped most of the time? Was the English speaking non existant? Did you need some handy phrases on hand? .. On tongue? Thanks much for any help, from anyone about this stuff!!! :)
theshepard22 hi! I’ve done the trip on my cycle as well. Only challenge is the electricity, advisable to carry a solar panel or a large powerbank. There are military stations throughout the route so safety isn’t an issue. Temperatures sway throughout the day! It snowed couple of time while we were atop passes, otherwise it was bright and shiny (nights got cold). There is food and shelter available throughout however, if camping do get a sleeping mat, and a good quality tent. Carry bicycle spares (spokes, brake cables, extra tubes). Acclimatise for the altitude. All the best.
Very good, i am going to south india from north india next week by bicycle so i need your help, can you tell me about healty food during cycling and necessary things ?
congratulations. Doing that speaks volumes about your strength of character and your heart. By the way, how does it feel to cycle at 4000, 5000m of altitude? how did your body react?
Thank you so much for this video. Really looked like an amazing trip. Did you cycle all the way up to the Ladakh or brought your bikes in an bus for example and started there?
Very wonderful tour.

Hi there, I met you guys near Penzi La pass on the way to Padum in July. I have a small video of your cycling, I'd love to share with you 🙂
Have a look at our videos from this past summer on this channel. Can contact me at fedsmachine@gmail.com
Thank you for taking us with you on this incredible journey!
This video is an inspiration to bicycle-touring amateurs like me.
Surley Long Haul Trucker and Soma Saga. Both were amazing without evan a flat (Schwalbe Marathon Plus 1.75x26 tires)
I were in Ladakh for 8 minutes
raees mohammed :: u r lucky to be 8 minutes
Please give me your bike details
@@kamalkuriyakose3926 See above. Would likely go back today with mountain bikes so able to do rougher roads and get off the main highways.

Very serene. Beautiful scenery , epic cycling...awesome feat you two!! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad the sun shone for you too.
congratulations. Doing that speaks volumes about your strength of character and your heart.

+Didier Martins
Obviously short of breath above 5000 m but fine until then. Bad headache camping above 5000 m so did not make that mistake twice.
Awesome video thank you
Looks fantastic! I really hope to visit and or hopefully cycling some of the same parts. Glad you did not get that rock in your head! ;)
Thank you so much for this video. Really looked like an amazing trip. Did you cycle all the way up to the Ladakh or brought your bikes in an bus for example and started there?
Cycled from Srinigar to Leh and then all around Ladakh. Four weeks.
