Itching to go to Leh/Ladakh on my Multistrada: Any good organisers?

I do not just want to post and claim "Got Leh'ed" but I believe this is what the Ducati Multistrada V4 is meant to do.

BHPian samyakmodi recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

Wow

Didn't realise where the year flew by with a lot of work trips and even more work kept me so busy that not only I didn't ride the bike much - but never realised how much I had been missing it.

During the winters - I rode it to the factory practically every day - only to realise that this time too shall be short-lived. The winters took a sudden turn and the scorching summers started even before I could realise. The last time I rode the bike - I was severely dehydrated- all thanks to the insane traffic in the evening and my riding gear.

Looks like the dream to ride it daily to work - would be just that for the coming few months owing to the insane summer heat followed by the rains.

This got me thinking - is there any big bike riding group which organises rides around the mountains? Please don't take it otherwise - I am itching to go to Leh/Ladakh on the bike and not just to post and claim "Got Lehed" but I believe this is what the bike is meant to do.

I am not fooling myself by dreaming of riding the bike all the way to the mountains from Indore - but I was hoping that maybe I could send the bike in a trailer sorts all the way to the north - and then take it off the trailer and ride it along the mountains and return the same way.

So the question remains - any good organisers who take big bike riding groups around the mountains while providing a support vehicle and taking care of all the basics one might need?

I am not sure about independent organizers. However, Legacy Guys too get this organized, Samyak. You can check with them once.

Here's what BHPian Axe77 replied:

I can recommend two in a heartbeat.

The first is XplorEarth led by Vijay Parmar and his crew and the second is Goodwind Moto Tours (GMT) - you’ll find both on instagram and can connect with them. XE run partnerships with brands (Triumph, BMW etc) but also does its own brand-agnostic trips. GMT is totally brand-agnostic.

I’ve done multiple tours with XE and they are absolutely outstanding. Their support crew is top-notch, and they have excellent backup including a backup van with proper mechanic support. A lot of folks will have these but I can vouch for the quality of their support as well.

Check them out and speak with them. There are a lot of others I’m sure but these are by far my first two choices in these parts. Incidentally, Mr. Parmar and his team were the architects and organisers of Raid de Himalaya so they definitely know their way about the mountains very well. You can even consider doing Zanzkar etc with them as an alternative although they do Ladakh too.

You’ll find some threads from me with the Tiger that have referred to trips undertaken with XE.
