Bike Expedition to Lahaul and Spiti Valley - 2nd June

Care for some romance on the road?

If last year’s Manali-Leh bike ride has added brag value to your Facebook profiles, this year’s ride along the Old Hindustan-Tibet Road with its mesmerizing bouquet of ridges, bridges and melt-water streams will drive you crazy with wonderment.

Far more adventurous and even more dangerous than the Manali-Leh Road, very few people have heard about the gravity-defying Old Hindustan-Tibet Road, and even fewer people have seen it. Some of them who have gone through the modern NH22, which is a poor cousin of the Old H-T Road in terms of adventurous thrills, are still raving about it. What to say about the original?

The Old Hindustan-Tibet Road is like a spooky fairytale. Twisting and turning in the mountains, the edge-of-the-precipice road runs through the rocky shelters with the River Sutlej plunging thousands of feet below.

Immortalised by Rudyard Kipling in his masterpiece, Kim, the romantic road witnesses a transition in climate, vegetation, terrain, people, culture and religion. The landscape transforms from magical green valleys to the barren cold desert; Hinduism morphs into local cults and finally to Tibetan Buddhism; rudimentary temples make way for box-like monasteries; and paranthas are superceded by tukpas and momos.

The transition becomes complete once we enter Spiti valley leaving you wondering whether you are in India or in Tibet!
