International Rider & Expat Protocol

Over 70% of our pilots join us from the US, UK, Europe, Australia, and Singapore. Our Leh operations desk coordinates all statutory border documentation and arrival logistics:

1. Protected Area Permits (PAP)

Foreign passport holders require statutory Protected Area Permits for Pangong, Nubra, and border corridors. Simply email your passport scan and valid Indian eVisa copy 14 days before arrival. Our Leh headquarters procures and stamps all original permits in advance.

2. Flight Logistics (DEL → IXL)

Fly into New Delhi (DEL) and take an early morning connecting flight to Kushok Bakula Rimpochee Airport in Leh (IXL). Domestic carriers allow checking riding boots and heavy gear. Our private chauffeur meets you directly at Leh arrivals for transfer to our heritage basecamp.

3. Mandatory 48-Hour Acclimatization

In strict compliance with Ladakh Autonomous Hill Development Council (LAHDC) and Sonam Norboo Memorial Hospital protocols, all arriving pilots observe a compulsory 48-hour rest and gentle shakedown period in Leh (11,560 ft) before tackling high passes.

4. Licenses & Riding Safety

Riders must hold a valid domestic motorcycle operator license accompanied by an International Driving Permit (IDP). Bring your own ECE/DOT-certified full-face helmet, armored riding jacket, and waterproof adventure boots. We provide all motorcycle luggage racks and dry packs.
