Pedaling your way on what is known as one of the most difficult roads of India is no less than an accomplishment. A Manali to Leh cycling ride takes you through a cold desert and across 5 high altitude passes. Your preparation as well for such a journey would have to be thorough.<\/p>\n<p>The total distance between Manali and Leh is 473 kilometers via Rohtang and 427 kilometers via Atal Tunnel. But since you are out on an adventure, I am assuming that you will definitely not want to leave out Rohtang La and will surely like to conquer all of the 5 passes. For a journey like that, an ideal time can be anywhere between 7 to 14 days, depending on your stamina, pace, and time in hand.<\/p>\n<p>In this article, I will share a few tips on how you can prepare yourself for a Manali Leh cycling trip. I completed this journey solo in a total of 11 days so much of what I am sharing below is based on my own personal experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A cycling trip from Manali to Leh is a dream for every cyclist in the country right now.
