Join me as I embark on my solo motorcycle ride to the highest motorable pass in the world called Umling La. An unforgettable journey as I took the risk of attempting it alone without any support. An experience I will never forget
Umling La is a high mountain pass at 19,024ft above the sea level, located in Jammu and Kashmir, in India. The pass is located on the eastern part of the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, near the Line of Actual Control (LAC), 230km far from Leh. It is navigable by all passenger vehicles. In 2021, the pass received, the Guinness World Record for being the highest motorable road (paved) in the world. This makes the road at Umling La Pass a remarkable feat of engineering carried out by the Border Roads Organisation.
