Swipe Right on Ladakh: Perfect Roads, Wild Views, Zero Red Flags


Swipe Right on Ladakh: Perfect Roads, Wild Views, Zero Red Flags

Last year, I hiked to Annapurna Base Camp solo—no guide, no group, just me, my backpack, and a whole lot of dal bhat. 🥾

I tracked every rupee, and yep, it turned out way cheaper than an organized group tour.

But here’s the thing: DIY trekking only works if you’ve done a few already, know how to plan, don’t panic easily, and can handle altitude sickness..

For first-timers or not-so-seasoned adventurers, paying that extra money for a group tour isn’t just worth it—it’s wise.

You get:
✅ Guidance
✅ Safety
✅ No logistics headaches
✅ A crew to vibe with when the altitude hits
✅ Way less decision fatigue

And that’s exactly what we do at The Modern Nomads—we make adventure travel stress-free, fun, and beginner-friendly.


Last summer, we at The Modern Nomads went on a road trip to Spiti Valley🚗🏍️

And it took our breath away. Literally!

29 people. 7 bikes. 6 cars.

A backup vehicle for breakdowns 🛠️
Extra fuel for areas without petrol pumps ⛽
Oxygen cylinders on board
And a convoy full of strangers who ended up becoming friends 🤝

We rode through valleys, crossed rivers and made unforgettable memories! ⛰️🌊

Spiti was the kind of trip you don’t just remember – you feel 💫

This time we are leveling up!
Higher roads and wilder views.

We’re taking you on one of the most iconic and adrenaline-fueled road trips in the world – the journey to Ladakh! 🏔️✨

Get ready to conquer some of the highest motorable roads 🛣️, cruise through jaw-dropping Himalayan landscapes 🏞️, and soak in the raw beauty of the mountains 🌄.

We’re talking:

💙 The turquoise blues of Pangong Tso
🧘‍♂️ The serene calm of Tso Moriri
🏜️ The surreal sand dunes of Nubra Valley
🏡 The charm of the northernmost village, Turtuk
🏍️ And of course, Khardung La, one of the highest motorable passes in the world

Most tours rush it. We don’t!
Ladakh’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience – and it should be done right ✅

Whether you’re dreaming of:
🏍️ Riding a bike solo
🚗 Cruising in a self-drive car with your gang
🚙 Or chilling in a comfy SUV with fellow travellers

we’ve got a seat for you!

🛣️ Chandigarh to Chandigarh (Full road trip via Kashmir & Manali)
🗓️ 5 June – 16 June

✈️ Leh to Leh (with Tso Moriri)

That's it for this edition. We hope you enjoyed it.

🚨 LAST CALL FOR LADAKH! Is it safe? YES. Is it epic? Also YES. Hey there, We’ve had a lot of questions lately about the upcoming Ladakh road trip – and it’s time we clear the air. Here’s the deal: ❄️ Ladakh ≠ Kashmir 1️⃣ Ladakh is a separate Union Territory It has its own administration and a completely different ground reality. 2️⃣ Pahalgam to Leh is over 500 km away That’s a 14+ hour mountain drive — a different region altogether. 3️⃣ No history of unrest in Ladakh There's been no history...
