The Overview
The Ultimate Crossing.
This is the definitive Himalayan journey. The Trans-Himalayan Odyssey takes you on a complete cross-section of the mountain range, starting in the lush, green valleys of Kashmir and ending in the pine forests of Manali—with the high-altitude moonscapes of Ladakh in between.
You will cross Zoji La (the gateway to Ladakh), pay respects at the Kargil War Memorial, conquer the mighty Khardung La, and ride the legendary Manali-Leh Highway.
This is a journey of dramatic contrasts: from green to brown to white. It is physically demanding but visually unmatched. If you want to see it all in one go, this is the expedition for you—backed by the safety and logistics of the Ride and Fire Standard.
