Mangal Lama shares the thrilling adventure of cycling along the Great Himalayan Trail

When Mangal Lama set off to do the Great Himalayan Trail on his bicycle alone , he knew he would be facing a lot of challenges. But, what happened at the West Col Pass in the Makalu Barun region nearly broke him.

He had reached the top of the pass with his porter and was on his way down. The trail was full of hard blue ice – dangerous if you do not have the proper gear. Lama was scared for himself and his power. As he was about to finish the toughest section on the trail, he saw all his belongings fall down.
