The versatility of Ladakh in terms of Mountain biking is immense. As with the nature of the landscape, it allows riders to enjoy different styles of riding and Big mountain Freeride stands at the top of the shelf.
Barren, dry Mountains with long and steep chutes are in plenty around all over the region and one specific Location that comes to our mind is STAGLUNG in Changthang.
Changthang is a vast open valley in the western part of Ladakh is an extension of the Tibetan Plateau , with an average altitude of 4,500 metres.
Stanglung is a vast open valley located opposite Nyoma Village in the region, the name directly translates to “The place for Horses” as the pasture lands there are primarily utilised as their grazing grounds .
The vast open valley is surrounded by countless High Mountains that possess rideable chutes of different variations.
Unlike the most Mountains around Leh, they are Jagged and almost unrideable. The Mountains in STAGLUNG are smooth, steep and perfectly placed to ride down on, while the vast open valley acts as a runaway for the riders to shoot down on.
