On July 15th my mate Matt and I will begin a 6 week dream trip to the Indian Himalaya. We will be starting in Shimla, heading to the Kinnaur area, followed by the Spiti valley and the (in)famous Manali-Leh highway a 500km stretch of road open for a mere 4 months per year, linking the remote region of Ladakh with the rest of India and containing some of the highest road passes on Earth . After a short stay in Leh (during a rare visit by His Holiness The Dalai Lama) we intend to head into the Nubra valley via the Khardung La pass, reputedly the highest motorable road on the planet at an altitude of approx 5350m and then on to Pangong Tso lake before heading back to Delhi and home. If you want to keep up with our adventures subscribe to this blog and we will update it as often as we can.

Andy,
Best of luck to you from me and the Asia IT Team.
I will live vicariously through your blog as this, what you are doing, is also a dream that I have had for many years but have been too busy making a living to purse.
You take many of our spirits along with you on your ride because I am sure there are many like me who wish they could do what you are doing and be with you and Matt on your adventure.
Take care, and stay healthy and safe.
All The Best,
Grant

Andy/Matt- your adventures are the highlight of my day! Only I wish I was with you, except that I hate cycling and don’t look good in lycra!!
Sounds well and truly mind blowing. Contiue to have fun, stay safe, take lots more pictures, and pedal like you’ve never pedalled before.
Oh – and don’t drink to much alcohol at altitude – beleive me it plays havoc with the mind and body!!
hehe Chick – drink too much? Us? wouldn’t dream of it!
