Expedición Extrema Ladakh
Pasos de alta montaña, aire delgado y silencio crudo en el terreno motociclista más icónico del Himalaya indio.
Brief de expedición
Ladakh es expedición pura: altura, frÃo, caminos rotos, luz extrema y paisajes que obligan a manejar con respeto.
VENTANA OPERATIVA (JUNIO - SEPTIEMBRE): Esta es la única época del año en que Ladakh es accesible. Durante los 8 meses restantes, toda la región queda bloqueada por muros impenetrables de nieve y hielo, sellando por completo los pasos de alta montaña.
La ruta combina aclimatación, pasos remotos, valles de desierto frÃo y sectores donde la técnica importa más que la velocidad.
Es una experiencia para riders avanzados que quieren un desafÃo real de montaña con soporte, preparación y ritmo responsable.
