More Than Just Biking: Culture and History

Mountain biking in Ladakh goes beyond physical adventure. It’s also a journey through rich culture and deep history. As you ride, you’ll pass ancient villages, encounter friendly locals, and explore centuries-old monasteries that sit quietly among the mountains.
