TRANS HIMALAYA 2008  
Himalaya

Riding at the top of the world

Two years ago the great Transhimaláyica route was inaugurate. Because of its organizative character we decided to run it in alternative years, and we are here again.
Our first bike route was sixteen years ago and we still are dreaming about ways and distant tracks, exotic worlds and high mountains …, when we thought about high mountains Himalayas were calling us.
The Expedition will be developed in a fantastic Himalayan region, Ladakh, also known as “The small Tibet”. It’s an Indian region, but its climate, culture, language and influence are Tibetan, framed between the two biggest mountains range: Himalaya and Karakorum. A place where the landscape, history, culture and hospitality are
The Himalayan landscape is compose by high desert plateau located between 2,500 and 5,000 meters, surrounded by summits which exceed 7000 meters. Indo’s river runs from east to west of the region.
