Conquering Umling La (19,024 ft): How We Prepare Our Travelers
Written by HumTripWale Expedition Team
At 19,024 ft, Umling La in eastern Ladakh is the highest motorable road in the world. Oxygen levels here are only around 50% of sea level.
Safety First: Our captains carry medical-grade oxygen canisters, pulse oximeters, and adhere to strict acclimatization schedules including two days in Leh and one in Hanle before attempting the summit.
The thrill of arriving at the summit border milestone and holding your conquest certificate is a feeling that words rarely capture.
