We need a minimum of three rides of at least 100 km/ride with a minimum average of 25 km/hr in each ride done in the last 3 months.

As this ride is designed for riders who like to challenge themselves to cover the maximum distance in the shortest span of time. You can say it is a ride against time. So Gravel/Road/Hybrid cycles types are allowed for this ride.

By Air (Delhi/ To Manali)

If you wish to go to Manali from Delhi  by air, Bhuntar is where the nearest airport to Manali is located which is about 50 km from Manali. But a little problem is that flights from Delhi to Bhuntar are very infrequent and mostly get canceled. So the best way and the most preferred way is to fly down to Chandigarh from Delhi and then go to Manali by road. Once you get down at the airport, you will surely find some taxis or can ask us if we will provide extended services to our registered members.

By Road (Delhi To Manali)

If you wish to go to Manali from Delhi by road, The total distance by road from Delhi to Manali is 12 hours. A network of state-run and private buses connects Manali to some of the most well-known tourist destinations, including Leh, Shimla, Kullu, Dharamshala, and New Delhi. The majority of buses depart from Delhi‘s ISBT Kashmiri Gate. The bus trip from Delhi to Manali is more comfortable if you choose an air-conditioned Volvo coach. The best one to take would be the Himachal state transport buses because of its good frequency and cheap price.

By Rail (Delhi To Manali)

If you wish to go to Manali from Delhi by rail, You cannot directly reach Manali directly from Delhi because Manali does not have a railway station. The nearest railway station from Delhi to reach Manali is Chandigarh or Pathankot. You can simply catch a train to Chandigarh or Pathankot, whatever suits you and then opt for a bus or taxi from there.

In Mountains weather is one thing which is most unpredictable but on the basis of old patterns in the last 7 years of experience sharing the insights on climate.

When you reach Manali, the temperature is pleasant around 24 degree celsius and morning and evening are cold around 5 degrees.

The similar kind of weather we will get till Jipsa  with a drop of 2 -3 degrees in temperature. Post Jispa Cold deserts area begins where you need to be in warm clothes and temperature during the day will be around 18-20 degrees and at night can drop to 0 degrees also till we don’t cross Tanglangla pass.

The Day we will enter Leh will be a little hot as compared to previous days and temperature will be between 25-30 degrees during day and night and early morning are pleasant with 4 – 5 degrees temperature.
