Exactly , meters above sea level, a record convoy of Škoda vehicles conquered
Umling La – the highest drivable road in the world. The expedition of enthusiasts from across
India faced thin air, freezing temperatures, and challenging terrain to prove that Škoda can handle
even extreme conditions. Among the participants were families, athletes, and legendary models
such as Yeti and Kodiaq. The event was recorded in the Indian and Asian record books and
became a symbol of the unity of the community around the brand.
In the year when Škoda celebrates years on the Indian market, this achievement adds another
unforgettable milestone.
