<\/a>Carved through the Himalaya mountain range in 1987 and opened to foreign travelers in 1989, the 500km highway between the towns of Manali and Leh in northwest India has become a premier mountain challenge for intrepid cyclists, presenting one of the highest and most starkly beautiful rides in the world. Blanketed by snow for most of the year, the road is accessible for just three or four months \u2013 around June to September \u2013 when makeshift villages, such as the prayer flag-strung Marhi, 50km north of Manali, materialise.<\/em><\/p>\n Cycling from Manali to Leh involves climbs totalling around 8,000m \u2013 almost the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest from sea level \u2013 and atop barren Baralacha La the road officially crosses the Himalayan range. The ascent to this pass from the village of Patseo is long but gradual, climbing 1,200m in 32km. At almost 4,900m above sea level, every gain is hard earned with the effort of pedalling and even breathing difficult and painful.<\/em>(via Andrew Bain \/ BBC Travel<\/a>)<\/p>\n So take this summer vacation to a whole new meaning of life, adventure and adrenaline rush of cycling through Himalayan serenity.
