Law & Kenneth Saatchi & Saatchi’s Anil Nair Has a Passion for Biking – With a Greater Purpose Though.
The chilly weather in Spiti Valley in Himachal Pradesh makes you shiver even in the noon as you ride your bike over the uneven, rocky terrain. The narrow roads, steep curves and not a single soul in sight make it a solitary affair, in some sense. While oxygen masks help you breathe easy as the climb gets steep, the endless stretch of mountains along the path offers a sense of accomplishment as you make your way through one of the world’s most treacherous places. Unforeseen landslides, especially during rains, are often looked upon as a challenge by the riders, not as a deterrent, even if it leads to road closures, sometimes.
The highest point of the terrain is Kunzum Pass, which is at an elevation of 15,060 feet above sea level. The valley has been a source of delight for adventure bikers like Anil Nair, the CEO of Law & Kenneth Saatchi & Saatchi.
