This Himalaya tour was simply incredible. It perfectly blended adventure, culture, and stunning landscapes. Starting in Salzburg-Frankfurt-Delhi-Dharamsala went smoothly. The beginning in Dharamsala, nestled in the green Kangra Valley with views of the Dhauladhar range, was magical. The first few days of riding through Kangra, Manali, Lehaul, and the misty forests of Kullu Valley were ideal for settling in. The moment we drove through the Rohtang Tunnel and emerged in the stark, barren Lahaul Valley was spine-tingling — the contrast was indescribable. Zanskar was undoubtedly the highlight. Spending two nights in Leh at an altitude of over 3000 meters for acclimatization was absolutely the right decision. Riding over Wari La and Khardung La, combined with visiting Karsha and Zangla while staying with a local family, gave me a glimpse of what "true India" is. And the barley whiskey? Unforgettable! 😄 The Leh-Manali Highway, with its lakes above 5000 meters, and the solitary stretch across Sach Pass through Pangi Valley were unparalleled experiences. The organization was flawless, and the guides were experts on every road and monastery. We always felt secure. After 15 days of motorcycle riding, we arrived back in Dharamsala to enjoy a splendid breakfast at Julian’s Café, featuring homemade bread, jam, bacon, and fried eggs with a touch of Viennese flair. Following a day of relaxing in torrential rain, we wrapped up with three days of cultural exploration. Traveling by taxi to Amritsar’s Golden Temple, then flying to Delhi, taking another taxi to Agra for the Taj Mahal, and finally returning for the flight home—all of it revealed a world entirely different but equally fascinating. Conclusion: For those seeking adventure, culture, and motorcycling at its finest, this tour with Asia Bike is an absolute must. Thanks to Julian, Nerresch, Jigmed, and Roschan! My friends and I from the BMW Club Salzburg will definitely be back! Werner Furtner

Durgiana Temple, located at Hathi Gate in the old city of Amritsar, is one of the most important Hindu holy sites in the heart of Amritsar. Also known as Lakshmi Narayan Temple or the Silver Temple, its architecture is modeled after the Golden Temple. The central shrine stands in a sacred lake, connected to the shore by a marble bridge. The temple is a 16th-century site, rebuilt in 1921 by Guru Harsai Mal Kapoor in the style of the Golden Temple. The foundation stone was laid by Madan Mohan Malviya in 1921. It is dedicated to Durgiana, but also to Lakshmi and Vishnu.

#hellohalloween #couplestrip #naturalwonders recently visited chameera lake nestled atop a mountain with my family, and it was an unforgettable experience. The lake’s serene waters mirrored the clear blue sky, creating a picturesque scene that felt almost surreal. Surrounded by lush greenery and towering peaks, the landscape was a perfect blend of tranquility and majesty. We took a boat ride that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the lake’s beauty. As we glided across the water, we were treated to panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, their reflections dancing on the lake’s surface. The gentle breeze and the sound of water lapping against the boat added to the peaceful ambiance.

#hellohalloween #couplestrip #travel #naturalwonders This is most attraction place in Dalhousie. Panoramic 360 degree immense view from peak. A small trek to reach peak. There is a kali mata temple.

Dalhousie is a high-altitude town spread across 5 hills near the Dhauladhar mountain range in the north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh. It's home to colonial-era buildings, including St. Francis and St. John’s churches, which date back to the rule of the British Raj in the 1800s. A trek up Dainkund Peak leads to Pholani Devi Temple. To the north, Subhash Baoli is a peaceful area with pine trees and panoramic views. #nationalpark#loveflowers#paragliding#bestislandtraveltowns#romanticrestaurant
