The Ultimate High Ground with the GLE 450: Part 2

Celebrating 140 years of innovation by Mercedes-Benz is no easy feat. So to match the occasion, we decided to take the GLE 450 on an adventure across Ladakh. With the aim to cover as many high altitude motorable passes as possible within 140 hours. So far we've covered 16 high altitude passes with time to spare, the journey continues. With roughly 80 hours left on the clock, we make our way through some of the highest motorable roads in Ladakh as this journey reaches its conclusion.
