Top of the World? Biking over the Khardung Pass - 5480m! | Nubra Valley Part 1 (N. India Ep 13)
Having spent a few days in Leh, it was time to rent a real motorbike and head into the Nubra Valley. This is almost as remote as you can get in India, and it requires crossing the amazing Khardung Pass, what was until recently the highest drivable pass in the world!
Our Royal Enfield 350 easily conquered the amazing roads both up to the pass, and then down into the stunning Shayok and Nubra Valleys. We had to stop at the top of course, managing to cope with the altitude sickness just long enough for some selfies.
After a late lunch in Diskit we found our beautiful guesthouse in Hunder, and were ready to spend the next couple of days exploring this incredible part of the world.

Leave to Roam
We are Kel and Al, a couple from New Zealand and Australia who have always had a passion for travel. In January 2018 we left our full time jobs and started to travel the world. We spent two years travelling on a budget through South East Asia documenting our adventures as we went before we found a new dream, to buy a boat! Fours years of hard work scrimping and saving led us to our dream. We introduce you to our home Dakini. She is a 2010 Lagoon 421 and we love her. Purchased in Greece we started our adventure cruising the greek islands. Two years later we have sailed all over Greece, Italy, Turkey and Malta with a winter in Tunisia. Our plan for 2026 is to explore Albania, Italy, Malta, France and Spain before the biggest adventure of our lives, crossing the Atlantic around New Years. Exciting times ahead.
