About Zanskar Motorcycle Expedition :
For thousands of years, the Zanskar Valley was accessible only to hardened trekkers. In 2020, new "roads" connecting the Zanskar Valley were opened and made it possible to ride an adventure motorcycle through the valley.
It is a path less taken. Limited facilities, the roads are rough, the climate is tough, & Network is not reliable. So, why would someone visit Zanskar? One reason - It is an offroading heaven.
Now is the time to experience this really wild side of the Northern Himalayas. In the next two years, good roads, electricity and telephone connectivity will change everything.
The ride through the mysterious Zanskar valley, simply means a test of your physical and mental endurance. If You are addicted to Adventure and looking for a new high, then this ride will deliver it in truckloads.
