    Umling La is the highest motorable pass in the world, tucked into the Himalayas in northern India. Team CTXP sets out from a few hundred feet above sea level in Delhi in the hopes that they can overcome rainstorms, washed-out roads, and oxygen deprivation to make it to more than 19,000 feet. Will Zack and Spurg conquer the highest road in the world?

      It was also my dream trip. Did this trail last year for the first time, the roads were better last year although we also tried few offroad routes. It is actually very difficult to maintain good roads here because every rainy season, river and landslides just wipe them all away but even after all that, this is one of the best thing I did in my life. This year we did sikkim, another great route in central Himalayas. Just as amazing and challenging.

    I remember a friend and I were in Oregon and heading towards Reno. We got within 30 miles of Reno when a wildfire shut down Hwy 395. No biggie, we will make a detour to I80, or so we thought. The fire spread and shut down all routes to interstate 80. We initially tried to brave the off road path, but it was talcum powder, and neither my sportbike, nor his cruiser were gonna make it that way. We ended up having to turn around and go BACK up 395, cross into Nevada in the northern border, then drop back down on a 400 mile detour. Buddy dumped the bike on a blind corner in the middle of the night (he and the bike were both ok), not a single car the whole way, but we finally pulled into Reno in the early morning after about 17hrs of riding. While I wasnt happy at the time, it made some of my best motorcycling memories, and I wouldnt change it for the world.

But when she entered areas that I know well and skipped beautiful places in order to put on more miles due to her self-imposed deadline, I couldn’t watch any more. Like Yellowstone. I think she drove thru a corner and saw Old Faithful. There is so much more to Yellowstone that she skipped to make time. My heart couldn’t take it. So I’m taking a break from Itchy Boots.

Seeing this top notch video reminded me of cursing myself right after the trip for just filming it with an old gopro on my helmet and not doing it better while I was there... Those views would have been worth it. Not to mention the altitude sickness and all the other stuff that happened on that trip that would have made some interesting content :D
      Khardung La was the highest pass I did at 5359m elevation. (Got the videos on my channel if you're interested to revisit those views.)

    Guys, there's so much to unpack here. Video production, direction, editing, writing, all brilliant! I've been to India 5 times and have always wanted to do something like this on my trips. The problem was that they were business trips and my employer wouldn't just let me wander off on a bike for a couple of weeks. The baby Bonnevilles looks like they were more than up to the task and that's great news. As the owner of a T120, I've been eyeing these since their launch. Too bad Ari didn't make the trip, but Spurg is great and Zach never disappoints. What a couple of lucky dogs, trip of a lifetime! Awesome, just awesome!

    This is Indias Holy Grail of Biking, every bike enthusiast does it once in life.
    After watching you and Itchy boots recently on the same routes, I can say that bikes do make a difference, yes the Triumphs can go there, but this would be much more fun on an Adv bike.
    Norlay did made it look easy but the reality is its not that easy for obvious reasons, the altitude, challenging road conditions and the breathlessness, nonetheless it's all worth it in the end as its one of the most beautiful places to take your bike to and ride, hope you guys had fun. India can be challenging, it's intense.
    Often its also very rewarding.
    Well done, hope you guys return for more.
