Kolkata to Arunachal on Xpulse | Day 4: Dirang to Tawang via Sela Pass + Bumla Pass - The Ultimate Winter Ride
The coldest, toughest and most beautiful day of this ride so far!
Started from Dirang in sub-zero morning, climbed up to the mighty Sela Pass (13,700 ft) completely covered in black ice and snow, and then pushed further to the Indo-China border at Bumla Pass (15,200 ft) and back to Tawang.
From Kolkata plains to the Himalayas in peak winter - this is what riding a Hero Xpulse 200 4V in Arunachal really feels like.
