This is the Ride XP Himalayas Diaries, my more raw and in-depth day-to-day vlog series about our motorcycle adventure in Ladakh in 2023. In episode 2, we get our first taste of riding in the Himalayas with an acclimatization ride around Leh, the main city of and gateway to discovering the wonders of Ladakh. While this is just supposed to be a teaser for the big ride through the greater mountains, it was already one of the greatest rides I've ever had!
