Sach Pass — Chamba to Killar via Pangi Valley.
Two days crossing the 4,420 m Sach Pass, the highest and toughest motorable link between the Chamba and Pangi valleys of Himachal Pradesh. Tarmac gives way to mud, scree and snow-fed water crossings on a route that opens only from late June to October. A genuine expedition for experienced adventure riders.
