Hell Ultra

‘It is supposed to be hard; the hard is what makes it great!'

Extreme temperatures to test you. 
A cold desert as your playground. 
Himalayan rivers and streams to keep you company. 
High altitude passes to challenge your grit. 
Bare mountain faces and blue skies to mesmerize you. 
Thinner air to make your lungs gasp. 
And some love for the open road! 

Run the entire 480km distance from Manali to Leh on the toughest & the highest highway in the world.

Manali – Leh highway is considered and is one of the toughest highway around the world because of the high altitude and harsh weather. The highway is closed & covered in Snow for almost six months, opens in the month June and closes in Oct. The average altitude is higher than 4000m & Oxygen levels dip to 40-60% on passes. Running in such conditions is not an easier task and would need serious training.

Covering the entire 480km on foot at such high altitude is definitely not for the weak of will!
