The rugged but beautiful Himalayan terrain is captivating - Crossing over the snowy Kunzum Pass at 4700m/15419 ft - Visiting some of the oldest monasteries of the region - Seeing the one of the highest post offices of Asia in Kibber Village - Conquering high passes, orchard stands, dense forests and a multitude of weather conditions - Push the boundaries with sweat and sinew behind one of the toughest but best cycling trails in India
Explore the myriad terrain of the 'Middle Land' (the land between India and Tibet) in this cycling adventure in the Lower Himalayas. A sustained cycling trip, where the thrills do not end, everyday will bring you new topographies and dramatic vistas. This cycling expedition takes you through the unimaginatively distinct views of the Kinnaur, Spiti valleys & Ladakh, as we trail the meandering Sutlej River. The domineering mount Kinner Kailash overlooks the region for most part of the trip as you ride past tranquil monasteries, gurgling rivers and dense forests. The tour ends in Leh, after having conquered high passes and diverse weather conditions.
Once the intrepid cyclist in you has overcome the demanding gradients and cutting chilly winds, you can soothe the senses in the unassuming Tibetan town, Leh. An erstwhile, though veritable, pit stop on the silk route, Leh still retains its vibrant charm. The laid back town is now sprinkled with lazy cafes, small guesthouses and an atmospheric bazaarwhere most tourists like to hang out. Be prepared for the scorching sun as well as freezing blizzards - even in mid summer, as you cycle through the cold desert terrain!
