The High Way - Cycling the Manali Leh Highway

Hannah and Lucy, two distinctively average cyclists, decide to take on the Himalays for their first bike packing adventure. 475km, 5 mountain passes, several new bike parts and some tears later they realise that the only thing holding them back is themselves (and occasionally the lack of oxygen). What could possibly go wrong?

Two powerful women's ...love From INDIA

[@DriftTraveller]

Holy Shit!!! I can't believe this!!!!!! You guys are legend! I have been to these places in car and I felt the lack of oxygen a lot and you guys in cycle. Huge Respect for you girls! Love from India! ♥️

[@sujangurung3461]

It's not that hard brother. In Nepal, we do mtb trips above 5000m like the Annapurna Circuit which is 5416 m. And we don't have roads like in this video which is pretty tough.

[@bonneville1972]

Great - I did this route in 1994 as part of a 6 month north pakistan & indian himalaya solo cycling trip. I think the Leh-Manali stretch was amongst the most dramatic & memorable.

[@armeneze]

wow. what was that like? I'd love to hear more about your trip.

[@chamunu123]

Wow 🤷.. Awesome 🙏👌💪👍

[@karl0d0ca]

Can you post your route ?

[@PassengerParamvir]

Amazing!!!

Watching this is such a pleasant experience in itself. I just came back from Leh and saw atleast 15 people cycling. It is becoming a thing now.

[@simonm1447]

in 2018 I made a day bike trip from Leh up to the Khardungla top and back, which was hard enough for me (with the way back to Choglamsar just 100 km). Huge respect to both of you for achieving this 500 km tour, with all the luggage I didn't have to carry on my short tour.

[@travellerpk]

You are example for people who tour Ladakh on motorbike. Thanks for caring the nature and sharing your adventure. Bravo.

[@avikrudra7566]

Kudos to you two !! I did this route 3 yrs back and this video brought back all the fond memories... Thank you...

[@michaelsummerell8618]

Wow - you crazy mad pair - for a first time out, that's a real achievement. I've been trekking at those altitudes, and even that is hard work, so cycling must have been exhausting! Well done both of you!

[@udayanw]

Thank you for bringing back nostalgic and fond memories of my cycling trip here. This route changed my life * happy tears * ❤

[@HoppingBug]

This is brilliant. I just got hooked to this one watched it till the end :) It's a good story to watch

[@lalitSharma-vh7jl]

It's very very tough to do cycling at high altitude Bravo girls

[@xgcyeti99]

3 friends and I are cycling the Manali Leh highway this summer. I'm already very hyped. This video really is an inspiration.

[@ranjitt100]

Awesome journey... I did Manali to Leh by car in 2011.. But some day I want to go by cycling too.

[@tarunbaberwal9278]

Hats off to you guys. India always welcomes you back. It takes a heart of steel and determination as solid as Himalayas to even think of such courageous task.

[@chamunu123]

Awesome 🤷👌💪🙏🎉️.. Cycling at high altitude in this type of tough roads is inspiration for all of us ! Watching from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

[@dr.virpat3007]

I have worked as Vet in those area for five year so I can truly understand what it needs to do what you ladies did in those challenging mountains. You were amazing and I salute your guts and resolve. I am sure you will cherish these moments for life. Do come again. May be on motor bike expedition. cheers

[@kaleprash]

It’s the journey which is more important than the destination.....well done!!!!

[@baljeetsangrur]

love your dedication and mental power..Huge Respect...I can not do that much cycling even i am 25 year old..

[@EverlastingDrive]

Have seen so many videos where guys with their heavy adventure motorbikes complaining about this and that. And here are two lovely ladies in bikes smiling and enjoying. you guys are the inspiration. love you guys. 🙌🚴

[@caperider1160]

I almost want to.... worship you. What a fantasitc cycling adventure!!! What breathtaking views!!! I vow to take on this challenge in two years time!

[@mehbubhasan3657]

[@Pavankumar-bd5rn]

Wow, you girls are brilliant!! I've never seen Indians doing that. You made me think I was a foreigner in my own country. Best wishes to both of you, you deserve more subs.

[@onenation9510]

Well done Hannah and Lucy! You are very inspirational and certainly not average cyclists! Personality is key to achieve such feats and you have it in abundance.

[@kayuzx8672]

did the same manali to khardung-la cycle in july 2016,,, but with a YHAI indian group.... khardung la is difficult but not impossible... Leh to khardung la took 6hrs completely breathless on the top,,,, but khardung la to Leh took only 30Mins.. i will do it again. i had great time with Indian friends. great video by you ..... highly appreciated...

[@arvindersingh270]

Thanks girls for sharing this magnificient journey with us...

[@StevenSugref]

Just watched your John O Groats to Lands End video followed by this, what an adventure! 😁 The video was well thought out and put together! You can definitely see a massive improvement from the two videos.

[@HannahPrice]

S Fergus thankyou so much for your kind words! Yeh we upped our game in terms of the adventure and the filming. It's so much fun to do, we will continue. Thankyou for watching :)

[@negishubham9537]

[@goblinsdammit]

Incredible :D I went from Leh to Manali on a bus years ago and have been dreaming of the sceneries every since...

[@arkapravadutta8319]

Ok , first of all , bloody brilliant what you guys did. And the second thing , i wish to do this same trip so it would be very helpful if you guys could make a video on the entire preparation process , the itinerary , the gear that made this trip possible. Goodluck and Godspeed from India

[@dsgh2532]

[@visitladakh9189]

Cycling on this road is difficult but you have made it...and above all you chose to cycle and it's rare to see such thing in this eco sensitive Ladakh... everyone is using bikes and vehicle which is destroying the prestine air of Himalaya.

[@amritrajkhowa]

Thanks for the share. Inspiring and informative too.

[@TJSaw]

Wow. I don’t even have the words for you guys. You are both women with massive balls of steel! Infinite respect for this incredible achievement! 😮🫡

[@vishu2442]

Wow! such a amazing blog, you guys are real inspiration. Thank you

[@ProdBySXCK]

Damn !! You've done the impossible thing. No one on KZbin has ever posted something like this. Truly amazing. I've been there years ago on bikes though. It takes a lotta courage to even think of going on a bicycle. You've got some steel balls Bruthhherrrrrs 💪🤜🤛👌😎

[@simantagoswami49]

Two friends of mine made it to khardungla riding their cycles from Guwahati. It took them 17 days.

[@gouravghansela6516]

Transforming the channel of mind by chasing the trail alone. Amazing chase. Wishing good luck for more such challenges👌☺️☺️

[@drprateekgrover6628]

Awesome... just awesome...keep visiting....keep inspiring....Love from India!!

[@shivamagrawal8252]

I too want to do cycling to ladakh. Well not now but one day i will. I have done 200km. You are an inspiration for many girls and boys. Cycling at that place is tough and the road condition is also not so good. My brother had been to ladakh from delhi on a motorbike and he told the roads at reaching ladakh is pretty bad. Good luck and always do crzy adventure like this

[@nitinbisyan7035]
