Luggage strapped to the bikes, homestays at night, passes at 5,798 metres — a motorcycle journey about everything between the destinations.
Soul Ride is a 10-day motorcycle journey through the valleys, villages and remote passes of Ladakh, riding Royal Enfield Himalayan 411s and 450s and carrying everything we need on the bikes. From Leh over Khardung La into Nubra, through the far side of Ladakh — SalSal La, the high lakes of Chilling Tso and Ryul Tso, Pubmik to Karzok, Puga's geothermal valley — and back. Nights are homestays with shared rooms and shared tables; breakfast and dinner are on us, lunches happen wherever the day's ride pauses. Roads are honest Ladakh: pavement, rough sections, river crossings. Eight to twelve riders, one small convoy, no support-truck luxury — the journey itself is the point.
