World On Wheels:Itinerary

Amritsar-Dharamsala-Manali-Leh Intinerary

This is an eye-wateringly wonderful tour taking in the man-made beauty of Amritsar and the stunning high Himalaya of Ladakh.

Day 1	Arrive in Delhi.	You'll be met at the airport by a member of the Wow team and taken to your hotel. There's time for sight-seeing or resting.
Day 2	Sight-seeing in Delhi	See the sights of Delhi, one of the most exciting cities in the world. You can be guided by a Wow representative or we'll leave you to explore Jama Masjid, The Red Fort, Humayan's Tomb and Qutb Minar on your own.
Day 3	Delhi to Amritsar	We travel in style today, taking the early morning Shatabdi Express train to Amritsar. We breakfast on the train as we watch Haryana and the Punjab roll past the window. Visit the Golden Temple in the afternoon.
Day 4	Amritsar	Particularly for the photographers amongst the group, it's an early start to capture the beauty of the Golden Temple at dawn. After breakfast, you're free to wander round Amritsar. We'll meet for lunch and then have a safety briefing and get used to the motorbikes, with a ride to Wagah to see the border ceremony at sunset.
Day 5	Amritsar to Dharamsala	Getting to know your bike more thoroughly as we ride through the plains of the Punjab into the mountains staying the night in Dharamsala, home of the Dalai Lama and the Tibetan Government in Exile.
Day 6	Dharamsala to Manali	The roads become twisty as we go further into the Himalayan foothills. We stop for lunch in Mandi before heading along the gorgeous Beas River valley to Manali, the mountain sports mecca of Himachal Pradesh.
Day 7	Manali	Manali's a great place for shopping, relaxing and the last place for good coffee. We can also arrange for some adventure activity such as white-water rafting, ballooning or zorbing. These activities aren't included in our price.
Day 8	Manali to Keylong	This could be the most challenging day of the trip as we set off early to tackle the Rohtang Pass. As we head down towards Keylong, we're in the monsoon shadow and the land becomes more arid. It's like being on another planet.
Day 9	Keylong	Keylong (3156 m) is a great place to relax, but don't get too comfortable as it's a good idea to trek up to one of the beautiful Tibetan gompas to help with acclimatisation.
Day 10	Keylong to Sarchu	Today we start the climb to the Tanglang La pass, crossing the Baralacha La (4890 m) and spending the night at a luxury camp at Sarchu (4290 m).
Day 11	Sarchu to Leh	Another early start to cross the dizzying Lachlung La (5065 m) and Tanglang La (5359 m), arguably the second highest motorable pass in the world, before the sun melts the ice and the run-off floods the road. The scenery is breath-taking. It feels like an achievement to ride through the bustling streets of Leh and you'll be ready for a rest.
Day 12	Leh	If you're feeling energetic, get up early and take a bike to witness a service at Spituk Gompa and enjoy the views of the Indus from the roof. To stretch your legs, wander up to Leh Palace and the nearby gompas. We need your passports today to organise the permits for Nubra.
Day 13	Leh to Hundar	Today we head to the Nubra valley, over the highest motorable pass in the world, the Khardung La (5602 m). We spend the night at the oasis of Hundar.
Day 14	Hundar to Leh	On our way back to Leh, we stop to see some mountain camels before making our way back over the Khardung La.
Day 15	Leh	Another day to enjoy Leh. Take it easy.
Day 16	Lamayuru	More amazing scenery as we head along the Kargil road to Lamayuru and spend the night in the monastery.
Day 17	Lamayuru to Leh	Wander round the monastery and enjoy the magnificent views before riding back to Leh.
Day 18	Leh to Tso Kar	Heading back towards Manali, today we go to Tso Kar, a high altitude salt-water lake and spend the night in a luxury camp on the plateau (4000 m).
Day 19	Tso Kar to Jispa	The secenery becomes less arid as we wind our way to the picturesque village of Jispa, where we spend the night.
Day 20	Jispa to Manali	This is the last day on the bikes so make the most of it as the roads snake through the alpine scenery and back over the Rohtang Pass.
Day 21	Manali to Delhi	Take the luxury over-night bus to Delhi. You'll be glad of a sit down.
Day 22	Delhi	Time for more sight-seeing and souvenir buying in Delhi.
Day 23	Home	Catch your flight back home.
