Expedition Vistas & Glacial Walls
Conquer one of the most demanding motorable mountain passes in the world. Cross vertical glaciers, heavy water crossings, and narrow cliffhanger ledges.
Sach Pass is the holy grail for extreme motorists in India. Located in the Pir Panjal range of the Himalayas, it connects Chamba Valley with the remote Pangi Valley of Himachal Pradesh. Reaching an altitude of 4,420 meters, this pass features a road carved out of vertical cliffs, under roaring waterfalls, and between massive snow walls that remain through summer.
This expedition is only for experienced riders and drivers. Our crew handles support vehicle logistics, mechanics, spare parts, satellite communication, and backup safety protocols to tackle this legendary path.
