EXPLORE THE UNKNOWN WITH XPLOREARTH
DATES : JULY 24-30, 2021
Join us for the Five Passes Mountain Adventure, riding over varying terrain and lesser known passes, constantly challenging even the most skilled riders.
Stay in a “COVID-Safe” accommodation for the duration of the trip and go back a far more adept ADV-Moto rider than when you joined!
“RIDE FREE OF FEAR”
DAY 0
Riders arrive in Manali and complete registration formalities, followed by a classroom session on the basics of ADV riding, comprising techniques, gear, bike setup and more!
DAY 1
An early departure after watching the sun come up on the Rohtang massif, 50 kms away! Twisty tarmac gives us the morning buzz as we climb to 14000 ft and top the Rohtang la. We descend into the land of Raja Ghepan, rapidly reaching Darcha. Another 50 kms and we hit dirt. The altitude rises precociously till we attain 16,700 ft atop the Shingo La. Jispa for the night.
DAY 2
A spirited run on wide smooth tarmac, soon turns into a narrow village road. The Chandra river turns into the Chenab and the gorge it carves to Pangi Valley is awe inspiring.
We spend the day riding through water crossings and atop a road burrowing through cliff faces. Stunning vistas surprise us as we begin to climb to our camp. The Sural glacier opposite is magnficent!
DAY 3
We leave the magic of Sural Bhatori and descend to the river in an endless series of hairpin bends. The climb out to the Sach Pass is technical and rewarding. Reaching the pass is a triumph in itself!
Passing under the overhanging cliffs we have to ride under waterfalls and the progress is slow.
We drop down to Satrundi and descend continuously till Chamba town where we spend the night.
DAY 4
You’ve never heard of this pass – and mostly only the Gujjars of Padre Gali have.
Almost no one takes the route we will cross today. An extremely scenic run through dense forests around Salooni and the climb to the pass itself are a natural wonder. The long descent into Bhaderwah is normally fast and exhilarating! We may stay here for the night exploring an unknown part of Jammu Province or ride down to Patni Top if the time permits!
DAY 5
The last serious riding day starts after a comfortable start. We start the climb to Chattar Gala in earnest. The pass is low but not an easy one. We will cross army posts along the route at Sarthal and Lowang. The Sarthal meadow is an old camping ground of the Gujjars whose distinctive red beards are in abundance during the annual mela. We descend to Bani and cross the dam over the River Ravi before climbing to Dalhousie and a well deserved rest.
