Q85. How to prepare for long-distance motorcycle ride to Ladakh or Spiti? [6 Things to Know]

Are you planning a long-distance motorcycle ride to Ladakh or Spiti Valley or other parts of the trans-Himalayas like Zanskar Valley or Pangi Valley?

And if yes, are you confused or have no idea how to prepare for such long-distance motorcycle rides, especially when you travel to such remote places in the Himalayas.

Long-distance motorcycle riding has been and will always be one of the favorite modes of adventure travel of young and old alike. Almost everyone who has read or seen Motorcycle Diaries has wanted to pack their life in saddlebags and get on their bike to travel and explore the vast spaces that this beautiful world has to offer.

Adventurous though it might sound, long-distance motorcycle riding is a risk sport. There have been several cases where even seasoned riders have met with unfortunate circumstances. It is always better, hence, to make all the necessary preparations when one decides to go on such an adventure.

One thing all motorcycle riders agree upon is the importance of fixing your luggage properly. A free backpack’s strap, a not so good bungee cord, unevenly distributed load, can lead to a disastrous end. Personally, I have lost a close friend because he was unable to balance his overloaded bike on a busy expressway. One must not make this sport more dangerous than it already is by not taking the required precautions and measures.

In this video, I talk about some of the most important preparation tips and tricks that you can follow on any long-distance motorcycle trip to Ladakh or any long-distance motorcycle trip to Spiti Valley, or any other remote Himalayan bike ride.
