Insurance is not included. Check that your own policy covers high-altitude travel and motorcycle riding, and who to call if you need help.
How should I prepare for the altitude?
Rest on the first day, drink water, avoid alcohol on arrival and ascend slowly. Carry your own altitude-sickness medicine, and tell your captain early if you feel unwell. Read our altitude guide before you go.
What if the road or weather changes?
Your captain reviews local conditions each day and explains any route or timing change before it happens. We may rearrange the itinerary or transport for weather, road closures or other events outside our control.

Warm layers, sun protection, sturdy shoes, your medicines and your ID. The full checklist for this trip is further down this page, and you can tick items off as you pack.

Motorcycle tour
everyone was just as amazing, tbh the trip exceeded my expectations. 1. stays were amazing 2. they didn't cancel the tour despite only 3 bikes 3. ground network among the team was outstanding shoutout to aman bhai who was our marshall for the trip and also the co founder, vishal bhai for the crazy memories and ajay bhai for managing everything so well. amazing team and amazing trip always prefer a local tour agency like mountainbea instead of a more known trip organizer, they might be doing a better job at advertising but the better experience and value for money will be with the locals.

Spiti Valley ride
Definitely the best tour organisers of Spiti|Ladakh|North East. I did my dream ride - Spiti Valley with them and it became the best chapter of my life. Choose them because they are the locals. They know everything because what matters on Spiti is on ground support throughout the journey. Their itinerary covers each and everything especially Shipki La Pass which most of the tour organizers avoid. They provide plenty of time for sight seeing. In short- best bikes, captain, hotels, food and hospitality. They will do justice for your package and definitely you won’t regret it.Thank you Team Mountainbea ♥️
