CEAT's motorcycle training facility near Shanti Stupa in Leh, Ladakh, sitting at 3,600 metres, has been certified with two records: the India Book of Records and the Asia Book of Records for highest-altitude training arena. The recognition was announced on August 16. The site runs a three-level training programme and, with the Ladakh Bike Rental Cooperative Association, a marshal training course.

Building a training ground at 3,600 metres means the air itself is thin, not just the dirt and mud. Coming from someone who calls tarmac boring, the mere existence of an off-road training ground this extreme is amazing on its own. Even racing my own weekend club events, I'd want to go once just to get muddy up there. Altitude alone might be a fight I can't win.

Nice that you could stop by here as part of a Leh touring trip.

Holding both the Asia and India records at once is a rare combo.

Is it common for a tyre maker to run a full training facility like this?

High altitude brings oxygen risk too, so this kind of training actually matters.

Running a proper marshal training course too — that's a serious operation.

A training ground at 3,600m — the thin air alone sounds brutal.
