Bhubaneswar: Team BCAC (Bhubaneswar Cycling and Adventure Club) unfurled the National Tricolour on the Tanglang La in the Himalayas (17582ft above the MSL).
On the 8th day of the Manali Leh Khardung La cycling expedition 2022, BCAC Bravehearts scaled one of the toughest peaks of the MLK adventure – the TanglangLa pass in the Himalayas, and celebrated the 75th Independence Day, by hoisting the Triranga (National Tricolour) on the TanglangLa peak.
The Cyclists along with the visitors unfurled the National Flag and recited the National Anthem. It was a moment of intense emotions and a deep sense of pride for all the BCACians.
A team of 20 BCACians under the leadership of Sanjeeb Panda ADG (Intelligence) are presently on a 10-day cycling expedition from Manali to Khardung La in the Himalayas.
The team started from Manali on August 8 and covered places like Marhi, Sissu, Jispa, Zing Zing Bar, Sarchu, Pang and Debring on the way to Leh and KhardungLa.
TanglangLa is situated at an altitude of 17,582ft and is having extreme weather round the year. Also, this is one of the highest motorable passes in the world. This pass lacks enough concentration of oxygen in the air, which makes it even more challenging for the visitors. You can expect hailstorms, extreme cold wind and chilly weather at this glacier-prone pass.
