A group of Teesside doctors and dentists are aiming to bike across the Himalayas to raise funds for NHS charities.Dr Diwakar Subramani, a consultant at North Tees Hospital in Stockton, said the group had never attempted a ride like it and it would be a "super big challenge".The group of 13, including two based in India, had originally planned to do the challenge in 2020, but it was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.
They will start in Manali in northern India and end in Leh with the trip including the Umling La pass, which at more than 19,000ft is said to be the world's highest road. Dr Subramani said the "big unknown" would be the altitude sickness, but they plan to arrive a couple of days earlier to acclimatise to the lower oxygen levels.The group have completed multiple rides around Yorkshire but the Himalayas will be a new challengeThey have each chosen charities they are "passionate" about, including NHS trusts covering Durham, North Tees and South Tees.
