Building in Kashmir: Breaking Trail in the Indian Himalayas
There are certain stories that can make life in an industrialized nation feel pretty insignificant. This is one of those stories.

Ride and build in the Himilayas here...

The Himalayas are so beautiful, and covered in epic singletrack; but the last place i would look to go riding is Kashmir.

Epic story, good luck.

The photography is spectacular. A very well written article. The locals now have a sense of purpose.Just like in Canada the riders will appreciate the land and the trails. Kashmir would be an amazing adventure. Look out mounteneers here comes the mountain bikers.

I bike toured the Indian Himalaya in 1996. My intention was to ride to Kashmir, however the recent beheading at the time of an Australian tourist made me choose to ride in Himachal Pradesh instead.

Have there been any recent beheadings of tourists? Maybe a Leatt brace would confound the beheaders? Ha!

Absolutely beautiful country, tho. Very much like BC, but the mountains are waaaaay bigger!
