Mountain Biking Tours Make For An Unbeaten Ladakh Experience

When one talks about the scope of Indian tourism, one cannot but think of the mighty Himalayas which never fail to amaze. Ranging from north to east, Himalayas offer the most appealing options in terms of adventure, nature, spirituality and a wide-ranging weather. And when one talks about Himalayas, it is hard to miss the Tibetan-Buddhist town of Leh-Ladakh in the northern state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. With monasteries sprawling across its semi-arid terrain, Ladakh offers a picturesque setting for those willing to truly explore nature.

One can explore the multifold facets of Ladakh’s beauty by opting to go for river rafting, hiking, trekking, motorbiking or simply the good old mountain biking tours. As a matter of fact, mountain biking tours in Ladakh have become the new in-thing today. Acknowledging this shift in trend, to facilitate the tourists, many travel companies have come up with mountain biking tour packages. But, the original front runner in this area has been Overland Escape, India, since 1999  serving the local and foreign tourists alike..

Overland Escape aims to promote tourism in Ladakh while taking care that the culture and ecosystem of the town is preserved. All the packages are so designed that the income of the local community increases while the tourist enjoys an authentic adventure. To pander to a variety of riders, Overland Escape has a number of mountain biking tour packages. They offer one day tours like that to Khardung La or along the river Indus or in Leh City. Then there is a 2nights / 3days package to lower Ladakh to explore Liker and Alchi. Also, there are 6nights / 7days mountain biking tours to the scenic Nubra Valley or the breathtaking Pangong lake, and an 8nights / 9days tour package to the beautiful Tsomoriri lake. And, for those raring for higher degrees of excitement, there’s a 19nights / 20days mountain bike tour designed from Manali to Leh. Yet, if you feel like you want a package that differs from the pre-designed ones, Overland Escape also provides the option of customization.
