Mountain Biking takes us over the Himalayan range from the southern lush green valley of Manali in Himachal Pradesh to the arid high mountain desert of Ladakh. The dramatic changes in the landscape are best enjoyed on this road journey. The journey takes us over some high passes, such as Rohtang Pass, Baralacha La, Nakee La, Lachung La & Tanglang La. Tanglang La is the second highest motor able pass in the world at 5360m / 17585ft, next only to Khardung La at 5602m / 18380ft. While passing through the small villages in Lahaul on the banks of Chandra & Bhaga rivers, through the peas & potato fields to no man land & never ending plateaus of Sarchu & Pang, to the flat deserted plains of Indus valley, we cross over from Kullu district to Lahaul district of Himachal & finally into Ladakh after crossing Baralacha La. Interaction with the locals and the nomads on the way only enhances our experience!
