Your adventure journey begins with the 7:00 AM express train departing from New Delhi Railway Station. This four-hour ride will take you to Kalka, located at the foothills of the Himalayas. From there, a four-hour bus or coach journey will bring you to Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh and the former "summer capital" of India.

Continuing along the NH-22, you'll journey further into the stunning region of Kinnaur, riding alongside the raging Sutlej River until you reach Karchham, a crucial crossroads. From here, one road leads to Spiti, while the other veers off toward the Baspa Valley, guiding you to the picturesque village of Sangla.

The final 18-kilometer stretch is an adventurous ride on a narrow, winding road, flanked by dramatic gorges and towering cliffs, with the thunderous Baspa River flowing far below. Your accommodation for the night will be in a cozy tent camp, beautifully situated on the riverbanks, offering a tranquil and scenic setting to unwind.

Today, you'll retrace your route back to the NH-22 at Karchham and continue onward to Recong Peo, eventually arriving in the charming village of Kalpa. Here, you'll likely spend the day soaking in the breathtaking views of the majestic "Kinner Kailash" range and reflecting on the adventures of the past few days since departing Shimla. Alternatively, you might choose to explore the village and its delightful apple orchards.

Meanwhile, we will be working behind the scenes to arrange your Inner-Line Permits (required for foreign visitors to access the areas ahead) and conducting a thorough check-up of the motorcycles to ensure they're ready for the journey ahead. As you'll soon be venturing into remote regions where amenities like cell phone networks and convenience stores are scarce, this is your last opportunity to make long-distance calls, stock up on toiletries, or address any remaining needs before the next leg of your adventure.

Today's journey takes you deeper into the high mountains, bringing both adventure and stunning scenery. You'll cross the notorious "Maling Nala," your first significant water crossing, before descending to Chango, where you'll officially enter the breathtaking Spiti Valley.

Your first stop is Tabo, home to the historic Tabo Monastery, often referred to as the "Ajanta of the Himalayas" for its ancient murals and spiritual significance. After exploring the monastery, you'll enjoy lunch at a nearby restaurant before setting off on the day's second leg—a 47-kilometer ride along the winding Spiti River to reach Kaza, the heart of Spiti Valley.

As you continue your journey further up the Spiti Valley and into the higher Himalayas, today marks your arrival at the second high-altitude lake of your tour. After crossing the Kunzum La Pass (4,550 meters) and navigating a few glacier melt streams, you'll reach a pastureland, located just 4 kilometers shy of the stunning and desolate Chandra Taal Lake. Note that vehicles are not allowed beyond this point, and camping near the lake shore is no longer permitted.

Your accommodation for the night will be at a basic campsite, set up with alpine tents (each sleeping two). Sleeping bags will be provided to keep you warm in the chilly mountain air. Meals will consist of simple "camping-style" dinners and breakfasts. As for the call of nature, you can either use a small toilet tent or choose to answer it "in the open," depending on your preference.

Nestled along the banks of the River Beas at the northern end of the Kullu Valley, Manali is a popular tourist destination, particularly in the summer months, when thousands of Indian tourists flock here to escape the heat of the plains. Today, you’ll have a well-deserved rest day to relax and recharge.

The penultimate day’s ride takes you on another spectacular journey over the Jalori Pass (3,200 meters), through lush apple orchards and past several charming villages, before descending to Tattapani, situated on the banks of the Sutlej River. True to its name in the local dialect, Tattapani is renowned for its sulphur-rich hot springs. You’ll have the perfect opportunity to relax and soak in the refreshing and rejuvenating waters at the resort where you'll be staying.

As your journey comes to an end, it’s time to say your goodbyes to your fellow travelers and the majestic Himalayas. You’ll embark on a 3-hour car ride down the Shivalik Range to Kalka, where you’ll catch an express train to New Delhi, a journey that takes about 4 hours. Dinner will be served on the train, and is included in your fare.

If you've purchased the "Farewell" add-on, you'll be transferred to the hotel where your accommodation for the night has been arranged, allowing you to relax before continuing your travels.
