To prepare yourself for a cycle ride from Manali to Leh. Prepare a list of mountain bike gear and accessories that you must have with yourself. Carry a pump, couple of inner tubes and keep a repair kit in handy. Keep a light kit bag with all the essential gears and you strap on to get the journey started. You must always know how to fix a puncture, changing an inner tube. Naturally, the bike guide will assist you with any basic repairs, but due to the often remote nature of our trip, having the basic knowledge of repair can save time and energy.
What I find beautiful about mountain biking is that it is eco-friendly. Lately, it has been used by many great riders to issue a message of adopting green technology. While trekking in Himalaya and traveling is what we endorse for a prosperous, it is our duty to keep the mountains clean, green and safe from commercial exploitation. We must nurture, preserve and contribute in every way to harbour the natural beauty of Himalayas.
