Riding through Leh-Ladakh is every biker’s dream —
snow-covered passes, sparkling lakes, and a sense of freedom that words can’t
describe. But before you hit the road, packing right is key to
surviving the extreme weather and rugged terrain.
This ultimate packing list ensures you’re fully prepared
for your Himalayan adventure, whether you’re renting your bike from Bike Wale Bhaiya
or bringing your own.
Safety comes first when you’re riding at altitudes above 10,000 feet.
Here’s what you must pack:
Helmet (ISI or DOT Certified)
– For maximum protection
Riding Jacket –
Preferably waterproof and with padding
Gloves (Full & Half)
– Keep your hands safe from wind and cold
Knee & Elbow Guards
– Protect yourself from rough terrain
Riding Boots –
Waterproof, ankle-length with good grip
Rain Cover or Poncho –
Sudden drizzles are common in Ladakh
Don’t have these? Rent all safety
accessories from Bike Wale Bhaiya – affordable and high-quality!
Even the smallest items make a big difference during long rides.
