Cycling the Himalayas
The Himalaya is a mountain range that is home to nine of the highest peaks on Earth. Join David McCulloch and Jon Muellner as they bicycle 760 miles through the Kinnaur, Spiti, Kulu and Kangra valleys, and the high passes of northern India.
Beginning in Shimla, the capital of Himachal Pradesh, their six week trek takes them through the lush hot Sutlej river valley, along the Tibetan border, over the high passes of Kunzum and Rohtang La, through lush apple orchards and rice fields, to Mcleod Ganj, the home of the Dalai Lama in exile, and to Amritsar, Punjab, home of the Sikhs Golden Temple.
These adventure cyclists share photographs and stories infused with unique people and cultures, ending on the plains of the Punjab, David’s childhood home.
