ABOUT THIS TOUR
A Typical day For cyclists unfamiliar with our Himalayan organisation you will be very well catered for. While our expedition follows the main Manali to Leh road, there are few vehicles on the road and for most of the time you are sharing the highway with other cyclists. We will select camps away from the road where you will sleep in comfortable two-man tents and be looked after by our crew who accompany us. They will prepare all meals including bed-tea in the morning and will look after all the camping arrangements. You will be expected to pack your gear into your kitbag each day. Of course any help you offer when setting and breaking camp, when there are many tasks is always welcome.

During the day you will be accompanied by a support vehicle which is available if you should not wish to cycle at some stage. You will also be accompanied by an experienced cycle leader who will also assist you in maintaining your bike.
