Ladakh Packing List: Pro Rider Edition

Ladakh Packing List: Pro Rider Edition

Pack Light, Ride Hard

The biggest mistake first-timers make is carrying 20kg of 'just in case' items. In Ladakh, weight is your enemy.

The Essentials:

  • Thermal Base Layers: Essential for the passes.
  • Rain Liners: Not just for rain, but for blocking the biting wind.
  • Basic Tool Kit: Clutch cables, chain lube, and spark plugs.
