Cycling across this isolated valley in Himachal Pradesh is among the most beautiful and difficult routes in all of India. You go through a lunar landscape of arid mountains, historic monasteries, and traditional villages on the high-altitude terrain’s hard climbs and descents. We can’t think of anything better than this. Can you?
