Detailed Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive in Leh (3,500 M)

This cycling journey starts from Leh, which is a headway into Ladakh that is home to some of the highest peaks in the region. It is also a very popular tourist destination and hence fairly accessible. If you need guidance on how to get to this high-altitude hub of mountaineering, this article (click here) might be useful.

Day one is reserved for the cyclists to make their way to Leh and get settled into their accommodation. Since cyclists will be coming to this altitude from sea level, the body will need time to get comfortable with the mountain air.

Day 2

Rest and Acclimatization in Leh (3,500M)

Day two is reserved for rest and acclimatization to the altitude. This is important to allow your body to adapt to its new environment and reduce chances of adverse health conditions. You can go around and explore the city market, delve into the colors and culture of this high-mountain city and visit some places nearby. A little movement around the city would be good for acclimatization. Also, use this time to go through your checklist and do some last-minute shopping for what you might be missing for the expedition. Leh has the best market for trekking essentials.

While the body acclimatizes, we take this time to get together with the group for a debriefing session. In the evening, our expedition leader will take us through important details, safety and health pointers that we should bear in mind throughout the expedition. We are then introduced to our mountain bikes, which will take us all the way to Ladakh in the next nine days. The expedition leader then explains a few basics about the bike before we take it for a test ride.

It is important to get a good feel of the mountain bike before we begin our expedition in order to ensure that we have a smooth experience. In the event that you face any discomfort with the saddle or any other aspect of the bike, it is best to bring it to the notice of the expedition leader so that it can be adjusted to your needs. Once we are all back from the test ride and confident about our bikes, the expedition leader takes us through the route and how each day is going to look so that we have a broad understanding of what to expect.

Day 3

Leh (3,500M) to Tirido (3,750M) via Upshi (3,610M)

Distance: 95 kms

Duration: 5-6 hours

Today we start out early as it is our first day out in the high mountains with our bikes. After an early breakfast we gear up. The route starts out amongst a green valley with fields. A couple of hairpin bends of the Indus Valley bring us 50 kms from Leh to a small town named Upshi. Post lunch, we get back up on our cycles to make our way to Tirido. The entire route for today is on narrow, winding roads with sharp ascents and descents. It is going to be physically challenging but the landscape of Ladakh is more than a great distractor!

Once at Tirido, we rest our weary selves. There is also enough time to explore this small village if you are up for it.

Day 4

Tirido (3,750M) to Nyoma (4,180M) via Chumathang (3,950M)

Distance: 95 kms

Duration: 7-8 hours

Today’s journey is as taxing as yesterday’s, if not more. We have now created some distance between the crowd of the city and ourselves. With lesser vehicles and wider landscapes, the surroundings seem a lot more refreshing but at the same time, the altitude has made the air thinner. There is respite in a few downhill slopes after pedaling on steep uphill sections.

Our destination for the day rests at the foothills of Hanle.

Day 5

Nyoma (4,180M) to Hanle (4,500M)

Distance: 75 kms

Duration: 7-8 hours

This is one of the most beautiful days of the expedition. The road to Hanle takes us through Loma and presents some of the most captivating visuals of Ladakh. Today’s route is when you will truly see the expanse of the landscape of this region.

The night sky at Hanle is one to watch out for.

Day 6

Rest and Acclimatization at Hanle (4,500M)

Day 6 is meant for rest and acclimatization. Use this time to explore the mesmerizing locale of Hanle including the monastery, nunnery and the Indian Astronomical Observatory. It is also meant to give our bodies a break from the continuous exhaustion of cycling and to give it a chance to acclimatize to this altitude better to make the rest of the journey a little more enjoyable.

Day 7

Hanle (4,500M) to Chisumle via Nirbula Pass (5,310M)

Distance: 75 kms

Duration: 7-8 hours

Today’s ride is a true test of grit. With an elevation gain of 800M in one go, the ride is going to be extremely challenging. The terrain is mostly rugged and the roads, non-existent. This off-road ride is going to be a difficult one to forget for a long time to come.

Day 8

Chisumle to Umling La Pass (5,883M) to Hanle (4,500M)

Distance: 50 kms

Duration: 8-10 hours

The climax of the expedition starts today. Watch out for weather changes and high winds which are common at this altitude. Remember to keep it slow and steady; it is the last 6 kms to the pass that are the hardest. The air and the view from the top of the pass can make any exhaustion seem like a thing of the past. After spending some time at the Pass, we cycle back down to Hanle to end the ride on a high!

Day 9

Hanley to Leh

After that grand adventure, we use our support vehicle to get back down to Leh. The end of every expedition deserves some celebration.

There are a number of measures that we take to prevent overcrowding on some of the most popular trails. Some of them are capping our group size at 15, capping the number of trekkers on a trail to 250 per season, constantly looking for newer trails and routes to spread the crowd around and providing incentives to our trekkers to try unexplored territories with us. We put in place the system of dynamic pricing, which is the first of its kind in the trekking industry, which incentivises trekkers to choose less crowded trails by offering higher discounts. We have noticed, since we started this system, that this has helped in a big way to spread out the crowds between trekking routes. We are also going international so as to relieve some of the stress on the Himalayan landscape as well as explore newer ranges and design newer experiences for our community. If you want a more detailed description of all our measures in this regard, please read Simple solutions to overcrowding on Himalayan Treks

Some basic things to remember are: do not use water, do not dispose of anything non-biodegradable inside the pits, carry your own roll of toilet paper and remember to cover up after yourself to leave a clean toilet for your fellow trekkers. Everything else is much the same like using an Indian style home toilet!

Most wet wipes are not biodegradable which means it could take 100 years or more for them to decompose – not the best thing if you are trying to ‘Leave No Trace’, right?

This is quite a tricky situation but not a hopeless one. Since most of our sanitary waste is not biodegradable, we recommend that you pack your pads/tampons neatly, store it in a zip-lock bag and bring it back down with you where there are better options to dispose of them. In case you do not have zip-lock bags, ask our trek leaders for them and they should be able to provide them to you.

Each trekker is responsible for the use and hygiene of their own eating utensils. And as a measure to maintain proper hygiene, we do not provide plates and spoons. Also, dipping your hands in cold water to wash your own utensils adds something to the overall joy of high-altitude living, wouldn’t you think?

On making the payment, you will receive a booking confirmation along with the packing list and a copy of the undertaking form via email. You will subsequently receive emails detailing documents required, how to prepare physically and mentally for the trek, information on pick-up location on the first day etc. Please add info@bikatadventures.com in your trusted emails list to make sure our emails don't go to your spam folder.

A Whatsapp group will be formed a few weeks before departure. Members from our team are on those groups as well. Feel free to seek any clarifications you require in regards to the trek, on the group itself. Updates related to transportation/pickup point/pickup timing, accommodation etc. will be shared on the Whatsapp group as well.

Yes, we create a Whatsapp group a few weeks before the departure date so that the flow of information remains smooth and transparent.

Yes, it is one of the mandatory documents you will need to submit before the trek starts. The soft copy is to be sent to us & the original should be on your person while on the trek.

Yes, we will provide you an undertaking form through email which will need to be filled up by you and submitted to us post booking.

Why Bikat?

Small Group Size

Our batch size for cycling expeditions is capped at 12 with the expedition leader and participant ratio of 1:6.

It also helps to form a more cohesive cohort with better group energy which helps define the rhythm and pace of days on the expedition.

In addition to their qualification, they also go through practical and situational training to tackle any and all kinds of sudden conditions that may present themselves on the ground.
