Trans-Himalayan Adventure 2019 - The Highlights

A group of intrepid adventurers arrived in Kathmandu after an epic 5,540km journey from Chengdu, China, organised by international rally experts Rally Round. After 20-days, fifteen cars and their crews became the first westerners to drive their own cars up and over the Himalayas in the inaugural Trans-Himalayan Adventure.

From Chengdu, through the vastness of Tibet and into Nepal, the Trans-Himalayan Adventure was more of an expedition than a rally, with the terrain, altitude and elements providing the entrants with more than enough competition than an added regularity could ever provide.

As well as crossing borders, seven of Asia’s major rivers and umpteen mountain passes, the Trans-Himalayan Adventure also became the closest anyone has got to Everest base camp in their own vehicles including two Rolls Royce, 1937 Alvis 4.3, 1965 Porsche 911, and a 1970 Mercedes 280SL Roadster. Crews also experienced high altitudes of up to 5600m and extreme temperatures, ranging from cold of -22 to intense heat at 43 degrees.
