I am part of all that I have met…
- Ulysses, Alfred Lord Tennyson
We are essentially a sum total of wherever we go and whosoever we meet. Some say and we believe that “people are the product of the content they consume”. In Ladakh, the biking spirit is evident to all visitors. Gauging into that insight, we provide a unique experience of exploring the local culture, while enjoying the freedom to stride your way on a KTM 390 Adventure bike, because why not? No feeling is better than finding yourself again on a roaring bike. The native culture of Ladakhi people is influenced by Tibetan culture and Buddhism. One can easily spot many similarities between the two. The combined experience reveals a sense of peace and tranquility that can only get highlighted in Ladakh.

Chandigarh to Nubra: A Potluck Of Cultures
In addition to the unique experience of gliding through eight distinct locations, this adventure tour also familiarises you with their strikingly different cultures. To begin with Chandigarh, it is the cultural capital of Punjab and Haryana. Apart from the famous tourist attractions like Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake, the city offers several exhibitions and art performances. Most of the people in Chandigarh are Punjabis and super fun to hangout with!
In addition to the cultural richness, Chandigarh is known for its vibrant nightlife. Whereas Manali is known for its quaint beauty and peaceful environment. Manali has been a popular backpacking and honeymoon destination and offers a number of mountain adventure options.

The life of Ladakhi people is not at all easy, hardships are an everyday part of their lifestyle. The ‘goucha’ clad men and ‘kuntop and bok’ clad women of this land revel in their own fashion. The folk culture of Ladakh is quite evident at various tourist attractions and public places. Chham, lharna, and jabro are some of their popular dance forms and the locals perform them in festivities and other occasions.
