Gul’s Cycling Expedition To The Baralacha Pass

Himachal Pradesh‘s Lahaul district is connected to Ladakh’s Leh by the Baralacha Pass in the Zanskar range which is a high mountain pass. Gul with her dad and a couple of friends went on a cycling expedition to the Baralacha Pass. She shared the challenges that she faced on her way through an Instagram post. He began the post talking about climate change with pictures from her trip to the same place in 2002. She shared how the roads are now dusty and rocky with the struggle that begins with the altitude in the last few kilometres. According to her reason is not the height but the single largest transition in altitude. She could feel her lungs bursting. It is completely a mind game and controlling your breath and going on pedalling is how Gul describes survival.
