At The Baralacha (July 2008)

If you did not understand, we leave .. . Bicycle! 7 weeks on the road in the Indian Himalayas. Programme: Shimla - Kinnaur - Spiti - Lahaul - Leh road - Laddakh or 1 large thousand miles, half of which more than 3500m altitude, 6 passes around 5000m altitude, not far from 17.000m of elevation gain, in short we like the challenge! Here is our itinerary

The purpose of this blog is to present a topo of this route, particularly those who would do it and would seek news, but also those who are still reluctant to engage. There, I said, it's really a great trip. Easy not easy but the reach of anyone doing some biking. Better to practice a little before going to enjoy it more and not suffer too much in the hills. Better also like a little mountain biking history not too too much hassle on the track portions rotten. That said, the tar in advance, and we crossed qqs riders on bikes road type.

Project Transhimalaya on Three Wheels

Wednesday, April 16, 2007, the date marking a milestone. I take vacation days to go qqs cycling in the northern Alps, but decided to return after 2 days of nonstop rain. Being on the side of Doussard near Lake Annecy, I can not resist the temptation of a little detour M5, recumbent dealer, where Jean-Pierre Hénon I did try several models. And then, revelation. Even if the models that I propose does not quite correspond to my needs, I know it's in recumbent that will be my next trip.

few months and tests later, I am increasingly tempted by the 3-wheel option ("trike") that offers great comfort and an interesting approach of the trip. And it's so cool!

return from India in September, I'm going to Lyon in Cyclociel try a model which I'm told a lot of property, including off-road and travel: the Trice QNT the English brand ICE (Inspired Cycle Engineering) . Absolutely brilliant. I contact them and present my plan to cross the Himalayas. And there, everything accelerates. They offer me a trike complete with accessories. Here is the mount on which I'll go:

class, right?!?

Oh, I forgot a few words on the itinerary:

Step 1: Return to Ladakh in July-August to test the beast story in familiar territory and make necessary adjustments before undertake a more ambitious journey. And also qqs explore corners that I have not had time to see last year (including Zanskar) and return to Highlands to meet the nomads. Course with the head still behind the idea of continuing a photographic essay on life in the Himalayas.

Step 2: crossing the Himalayan massif from Dushanbe in Tajikistan to Kathmandu Nepal , via Pamirs, the Karakoram the Chinese Turkestan and Tibet , with the highlight a pilgrimage to Mount Kailash . Scheduled departure in July 2009, the time to find yet few finance and organize an application for leave without pay.

If you know of wealthy patrons who do not know where to place their money with the crisis, I can offer them a safe investment and interesting (well, especially interesting to me ...). In short, I'm rercherche sponsors. Here is a link to the project site (still under construction ...):
