This Dream Tour to Spiti Valley was truly an incredible one and enabled the riders to enhance their skills while riding on world’s most adventurous route. Riding with the Ducatisti through uneven mountain terrains to some of the highest peaks was one of the most spectacular experiences of my life. With every new Dream Tour, we strive to take the Ducati riding culture to the next level and provide a unique experience to our customers which goes beyond just riding.

This tour to Spiti Valley was full of adventure and adrenaline and I could not think of a better travel companion than the Multistrada 1260 Pikes Peak. Its an extremely versatile motorcycle which made this journey even more special. This was my first Dream tour with Ducati and I can’t wait to ride again with the Ducati family.
