LEH-MANALI HIGHWAY, INDIA
Situated in North India, the Leh-Manali cycle
route is something that every cyclist in the
world dreams of. The ride starts from Manali
in Himachal Pradesh and passes through five
passes with the highest altitude of 5602
meters at Khardung La pass.
Each of the five passes is unique in itself.
The Bara Lachha La is one of the most loopy
passes, rohtang is the most unpredictable
among the five, Naki La & Lachu Lung La
are said to be the Twin Brothers that next
next to each other and last but not the least
Tanglag La is the most difficult to cross
among all.
Tere also comes Gata loops that offer
around 22 curves and is capable of spending
a fine chill down your spine when looked
from above. This is not it, many other
surprises await you once you decide to go it.
Moray plains is one of the highest and
coldest deserts in the world along with snow
laden peaks, Chandra-Bagha and Indus
rivers. Once you reach the destination city
of Leh, the beauty is beyond explanation. Do
visit Pangong Tso which is the highest lake
in the world at an altitude of 4,350 meters
and extends from India to China.
