About Conquer the HeightS: Zanskar & Leh expedition

The Ultimate High-Altitude Odyssey. This is not a vacation; it is a pilgrimage to the roof of the world. Over 14 nights and 15 days, you will traverse the rawest, most remote corners of the Himalayas. While others stop at Leh, we push further into the untamed Zanskar Valley—a land of frozen rivers, massive glaciers, and roads that challenge even seasoned riders.

Whether you choose the June expedition to witness the melting snow walls and high-water crossings, or the September ride for crystal clear skies and the onset of golden autumn, this tour is designed for those who seek the true spirit of discovery.
