Does anyone have any information on cycling from Leh to Manali?
Things useful would be: condition of road, food points, water, hotels and altitude problems.

Thanks,

Here's a link with more info on cycling the highest road in the World.

I've hiked in Nepal up to 17,500ft and let me tell you I was moving pretty slow at that altitude. Every muscular effort taxes you, though once at rest you feel fine.

I strongly suggest taking several acclimatization days and not trying to be tough guy. I got a touch of AMS and remedied this by eating lots of carbs, drinking plenty of water and eating salt.

Take care and have a great trip.

Nick
