About Himalayan Nature Escapes

Manali-based Himalayan cycling specialists, guiding riders across Ladakh, Zanskar & Spiti Valley since 2005.

Who we are

Himalayan Nature Escapes is a Manali-based cycling tour company, guiding riders through the Indian Himalayas since 2005. We specialize in fully supported, high-altitude cycling expeditions across Ladakh, Zanskar Valley, and Spiti Valley — routes that cross some of the highest motorable passes on Earth.

Our signature expeditions include the iconic Manali to Leh Cycling Expedition, the remote Manali to Zanskar Cycling Tour via Shinku La, and our Spiti Valley Cycling Tour through Kunzum Pass. Whether you’re joining a guided group departure or planning a custom private expedition, every route is built around expert local knowledge, careful acclimatization planning, and full logistical support.

Beyond cycling, we also guide Himalayan hiking tours and road trips across Ladakh, Spiti, Zanskar, and Pangi Valley — for travelers looking to experience the region beyond two wheels.

Meet Ravi, Your Guide

Before Himalayan Nature Escapes existed, there was just Ravi — real name Vivek Kapoor, known to riders and locals simply as Ravi — leading cycling groups through the mountains himself. He rode Manali to Leh and Manali to Spiti more times than he can count, guided countless trips through Shimla, Kinnaur, and Spiti, and later took his love of the road south, leading tours through Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

That hands-on experience — years of pedaling these routes long before founding the company — is what still shapes every itinerary today. Ravi built Himalayan Nature Escapes on the same principle he guided by: know the mountain, know the riders, and never leave anyone behind. Two decades and hundreds of happy clients later, that’s still how every expedition is run.
