This isn’t a tour. It’s a life on two wheels.
This isn’t a tour. It’s a life on two wheels. At The Warehouse Motor Tours, everything we do is shaped by a genuine, long-standing relationship with motorcycles and the road. We don’t design journeys to fill calendars or tick destinations; we build them around how it feels to ride—day after day, across changing terrain, weather, and altitude. We ride these routes ourselves, understand the machines, the mountains, and the margins that matter, and we plan each tour with care, restraint, and respect for the experience. Our groups are small, our pace is deliberate, and our focus is always on safety, camaraderie, and the quiet moments that stay with you long after the ride ends. For us, motorcycling isn’t an activity we switch on and off—it’s a way of living, and every tour reflects that.
The Great Himalayan Traverse
Ride from the historic chaos of Delhi to the serene, spiritually charged heights of Ladakh, crossing Spiti Valley, Zanskar, Tso Moriri, and Pangong Lake. This is the soul of India on two wheels—myths, monasteries, military history, and mighty passes.
From the remote Pin Valley to the mirrored waters of Pangong, this is for the rider who seeks more than views—this is for those who want stories, challenges, and transformation.
