This will be the first reaction to come out from anyone. But in a daring successful attempt, 7 women braved sub-zero conditions and dangerous roads to reach the top of the highest motor able pass, the Mana Pass in Uttarakhand.

The untamed blue sky, Thin clouds cutting through the mighty mountains, the roughness of the earth and roaring motorcycle engines. This is how the 7 seven women might have felt like, who recently undertook a tough expedition to Mana Pass on the India-China border in Uttarakhand. They made their way from Dehradun, the state capital of Uttarakhand, towards the highest motorable pass at 18,399 ft above sea level.

It surely might have not been easy to visit a place with extremely low oxygen. “Absolute focus, supreme determination and an utmost desire to beat the odds and reach our destination was what kept us all going,” shares Bidaye, 39, of Mumbai, who rode a Hero Impulse 150cc bike.

Mana Pass, known as Mana La, Chirbitya and Dungri La, connects India and Tibet within the Nanda Devi Biosphere Reserve in the Zanskar mountain range. It is 27 kilometers north of the revered pilgrimage spot of Badrinath. An ancient trade route between Uttarakhand and Tibet the Pass remained a minor trade route until its closure in 1951 by the Chinese. On April 29, 1954, India and China signed an agreement granting pilgrims and indigenous travelers the right to go between the two countries through the Pass.

Permissions from the Indo Tibetan Border Police (IRBP) and Indian Army are needed to visit the pass. The Pass can be reached from the south by an extension of National Highway (NH) 58, which connects Delhi with Badrinath. The roads of this pass are weathered by frequent landslides.

They had gone fully prepared for the expedition. For 15 days, they travelled through the picturesque yet rough terrain of Nelang valley and the Jhadung village before reaching Uttarkashi from where they went onto Tilwara, Badrinath and finally to Mana Gaon, the last village in the Indian territory.

Imagine eating piping hot pakoras at Mana Pass in the barracks!”

By doing this expedition, they have inspired many people like us to get off beaten path and do something challenging.
