Jet lag is the tiredness, disorientation, and disrupted sleep that happens when your internal body clock is out of sync with the time zone you’ve landed in.

I know that sounds dramatic, but ride through those mountains, cross those passes, camp under those stars, and you’ll understand. I did my first Ladakh trip three years ago on a rented Royal Enfield.
