Cycling the Highest Road in the World

[@13emw43]

Just wish this form of cycle touring had been available in the 1960's, because I would have done it then. However its on my bucket list and although I am 75 I can still dream and watch this video. Well done both of you.

[@chuckiesmith2120]

never too late!

big dreams come true, as chuckie said, NEVER TOO LATE!

My grandpa was still riding his Bike( E-Bike) with 83 on mountain passes in the alps. Our neighboor is 96 and she still rides down the hill in my hometown.

Eric Watson sir, Google "Fauja Singh" and get inspired sir. I also plan to go on adventures when I retire. Hope to see you live your dreams. All the best sir. ^.^

[@SyriusLee]

Inspiring!!!!

[@JonnoDuck]

Did this same journey earlier this year on a Royal Enfield Classic 500 from Manali to Leh and then over khardung la to Nubra Valley and then all the back. One of the best experiences of my life. Beauty on a scale I could hardly imagine. Huge respect for doing it on bicycles.

[@partikification]

Bro!! On a bike it is normal. I too had a journey on a Enfield classic 350, but a huge round of applause to these guys for completing the journey on a bicycle!! Seriously, I cannot imagine myself riding on a bicycle at khardungla

[@TollFreeTraveller]

Absolutely fantastic. I loved every bit of this video. Having been to Leh, I couldn't help but notice and laugh when you clinked oxygen cans. Hats off to you guys!

[@hirakmondal6174]

I completed ride upto Taglangla due to bad weather skipped Leh and also opted out Khardungla. But yes I met two Germans on MTB with 30 kg load on bike. These two riding with bags on is mind-blowing it's next to impossible to ride with bags on.

This is an insanely beautiful and inspiring video. To cycle to the top of the world is quite a feat. I am asthmatic and have severe breathing problems even in normal terrain but guess what, I have decided to train myself for this one. If I need to sign off from the world, better do it in style. Thank you. Regards

[@favaskm]

Best wishes

[@umg4147]

Hey Zo it's just a matter of acclimatisation, the major town near by Khardungla(the world highest road), is generally used by travelers to acclimatise .... I myself am a chronic asthmatic and have been to that road and beyond 4 times.... And also have trekked beyond 20K...... You need to give your body a bit of time and need to be in a balanced shape with right fat percentage in the body to keep it at minimum fatigue risk..... But definitely doable....

Went there few years ago, spent 18 hours on a cramped jeep from manali to leh. Which was really tiring for us..but its all worth it! Thinking of going there once again in couple years.. maybe on a bike this time.. great video guys! Great place too

[@cheyeser]

The best highlight reel of the Manali-Leh highway I've seen, great stuff! My partner and I did the Manali-Leh highway September 2015, topping off at the Khardung La on our last day. Was an incredible experience and made me appreciate being at sea level, headaches constantly, tingles all over from the diamox. The people are wonderful and hearing the encouraging shouts of Julay from passing bikes, cars, trucks and miscellaneous vehicles gave us the encouragement we needed to keep going.

WOW!. Amazing video. Very inspiring. I love to cycle in the mountains.( the italian and french alps). This must have been quite an adventure! FANTASTIC.

[@finzo77]

+Remy Jansen Hi Remy, I plan to cycle in the region of the french and italian alps in 2016. Always good to get the local's opinion, do you have any recommendations of places I should visit? I plan to enter the mountains from the Provence/Cote d'Azure region. Thanks

[@remyjansen8096]

Great to hear that you are planning to go cycling in France and Italy. I am more fimilar in France. if I have to recommend one, its for sure the mythical mountain Mont Ventoux, with the appropiate nickname "Giant of the Provence". Nearby you also have some short climbs, like the Gorges du Nesque. Last summer I went to Briancon, where I did some nice and though climbs: Col du Izoard, Angel and one of my favourite the Col de la Bonette with. But their are a lot of other beautiful climbs. The great thing about cycling in the Alps (apart of the view) is that everyone feels the same pain during the climb but more important the satisfaction and feeling of pride when reaching the top. Also great is meeting different cyclist from all over the world and hearing their stories. I can’t wait to go to the mountains this summer. Enjoy your trip.

[@finzo77]

Thanks so much for the information, they all look like tough and beautiful climbs. I will look out for you in the mountains!
