"Soaring thousands of meters above the pollution, heat and chaos of Indias crowded cities, the Himalayas stand a world apart from any other Indian territory. Prayer flags snap in the wind on high passes and villages lie marooned amongst spectacular mountain scenery, linked by kilometers of challenging roads that have only been open to foreigners since the 1980s, Indians take pride on exploring the best biking ground on earth. Well below zero degrees Celsius on most of the places on the way gets the adrenaline pumping every time you visit.


The experience of riding on such high ground is a world apart from normal condition. Thin oxygen, the cold mountain temperature and challenging terrain combined to form the riding experience of a life time."
