Leh-Manali Highway is known as one of the most challenging terrains and one of the highest motorable roads of the world. The terrain, the climatic conditions and the thinness of the air at high altitude makes cycling in this stretch even trickier.

A total of 13 riders will ride on their bicycles, who will be accompanied by a number of riders from all over India at Manali. The ride will start from Manali, will go through Marrhi, Sissu, Jispa, Zhing-Zhing Bar, Sarchu, Pang, Debring, Rumtse, and reach Leh and the ride will end at Khardung La. On the way, the cyclists will pass through many passes of Leh-Manali Highway, through Rohtang Pass (13050ft), Nakee La (15547ft), Lachung La (16616ft), Tanglang La (17582ft), Khardung La (18380ft).
