The journey takes cyclists over high passes such as Rohtang Pass, Baralacha La, Nakee La, Lachung La and Tanglang La, which are some of the highest mountain passes in the world offering some most amazing and stunning backdrop for cycling one can get anywhere in the world.

Route Taken here is Manali (Solang) - Marhi - Sissu (via Rohtang pass ) - Jispa (Via Keylong) - Patseo - Sarchu (Via Baracha La Pass) - Brandy Nallah - Pang - Debring - Upshi (Via Tanglang La Pass) - Leh (Total - 430 kms - Typically done over 10-11 days)
