The difficulty level is moderate to challenging, mainly due to rough terrain, altitude, and long hours of riding.

Umling La stands at 19,024 ft (5,800 m), making it higher than Khardung La (18,379 ft). It’s the highest motorable road globally, and riding here requires good acclimatization and caution.

The average daily distance is 100-200 km, depending on the terrain and weather conditions. Expect some longer days on the road, especially during transitions between major stops like Manali to Leh.
