The ride home uses the Manali–Leh highway over Tanglang La and Baralacha La, and the 9.02 km Atal Tunnel into Manali, so no Rohtang permit is needed.

One-way tour: the bikes start in Srinagar and finish in Manali. We confirm where your bike comes from and any one-way charge with your quote. Rental bikes registered outside Ladakh are generally not allowed for sightseeing inside Ladakh; enter your pickup point in the booking form and we will confirm the right arrangement.
Choose your bike
Zoji La, the Shyok road and the More Plains have rough stretches. Any bike works; the Himalayan 450 is the most comfortable, and the Himalayan 411 is great on the Hanle route.
| Bike | Engine | Rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Royal Enfield Classic 350 | 349 cc | ₹1,500 / day | Relaxed riding at an easy pace; comfortable on tarmac and the Himachal loop |
| Royal Enfield Classic 500 | 499 cc | ₹1,800 / day | More pulling power for the long highway days to Leh and Srinagar |
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 411 | 411 cc | ₹1,800 / day | Rough roads, water crossings and gravel: Zanskar, Spiti and the Changthang roads |
| Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 | 452 cc | ₹2,500 / day | The best all-rounder for high passes and long days, with the most power and suspension travel |
| KTM 390 Duke | 373 cc | ₹1,800 / day | Experienced riders who want a light, sporty bike on good roads; less suited to rough stretches |
All bikes are serviced before each tour and come with a helmet. Tell us your riding experience and we will suggest the right bike.

Before you ride
What to bring

Good to know

- Fuel stations are far apart: fill up at Sonamarg, Kargil, Leh, Diskit, Tangtse and Nyoma. There is no pump between Karu and Tandi on the way to Manali.
- Zoji La can close for a few hours after rain or snow, so the first day may start early or wait for the road to open.
- Prepaid SIMs from outside J&K and Ladakh usually do not work there; carry a postpaid SIM.
- Fuel, meals and permit fees are not included in the rates. Ask us what your quote includes.
Srinagar – Leh – Manali bike tour: frequently asked questions
How many days does the Srinagar – Leh – Manali bike tour take?
The classic tour takes 8 nights / 9 days and covers Kargil, Leh, Nubra, Turtuk and Pangong. The Hanle tour takes 9 nights / 10 days and returns via Umling La, Hanle, Tso Moriri and Tso Kar. On custom dates you can add rest days.
How do I book a seat on a fixed departure?
Choose a fixed departure date in the booking form and pay ₹5,000 per rider as advance, online or after confirming with us on WhatsApp. The balance is paid on arrival, before the tour starts.
How much does the tour cost?
The cost depends on your dates, group size and the services you choose. Per-day rates: Royal Enfield Classic 350 ₹1,500; Classic 500, Himalayan 411 and KTM Duke 390 ₹1,800; Himalayan 450 ₹2,500; accommodation ₹1,750 per person; marshal ₹3,500 (₹2,000 plus ₹1,500 for the marshal's bike); mechanic ₹2,000; backup vehicle ₹6,000. Bike and accommodation are per person; marshal, mechanic and backup vehicle are shared by the group. The costing table and booking form on this page give an instant estimate.
Is starting from Srinagar better for altitude?
Yes. Srinagar is at 1,585 m and the first night at Kargil is at 2,676 m, so you gain height slowly before Leh. Riders coming from the plains usually find this direction easier than starting from Manali.
What is the best time for this tour?
June to September, while Zoji La, Tanglang La and Baralacha La are open. Early June can still have snow walls on the passes; September is usually dry and clear. We confirm road status close to your dates.
Do I need permits?
Indian nationals pay the Ladakh environment fee and foreign nationals need a Protected Area Permit for Nubra, Pangong, Hanle and Tso Moriri. Hanle and Umling La have extra rules for foreign nationals, so tell us your nationality when you book. No Rohtang permit is needed because the route uses the Atal Tunnel.
How do I avoid altitude sickness on this ride?
Take the rest day in Leh seriously, drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and ride at an easy pace on the first high passes. Tell the marshal at once if you feel headache, nausea or breathlessness.
