About the Ride-

  • Arrival at Manali - 16th July 2018
  • Departure from Manali - 26th July 2018(after the completion of ride)
The Alphites team organizes the Dream ride only once an year,i.e. one batch every year and we see to it that the ride is during the best possible time of the year  with respect to climate, crowd and other naturally unreliable factors.
Unlike other Groups we will not rely on a particular stay option , rather will ride few extra miles,Camp like nomads where ever possible, so that we can cover all the places to be visited in Ladakh. 

Advice Note- (Out of our personal experience, we see to it that the below doesn't happen to our riders)
Its quite an unknown fact that the riders are given a false promise to cover all the places in the package, but the truth is that only 10-20% of the riders get to complete it, the rest might just dropout, quit riding bikes or are not provided the essentials to complete the ride. So before u decide to join any group choose wise and choosing groups with lowest package comparison is never wise.
