This pass is considered the world's highest motorable stretch and Anam's feat has been included in the India Book of Records.[2]

For the Season 2 of Himalyan Highs, 10 women were shortlisted after a selection process that included 2000 entries from across India.[3] Each woman was given a TVS Scooty Zest 110 with a choice of colour, while Anam Hashim led the team riding the Himalayan Highs Special Edition of the scooter. Himalayan Highs Season 2 kicked off on August 11, 2016, and concluded on August 21, 2016. The entourage earned themselves a place in India Book of Records for being the first group of women riders to conquer Khardung La on a 110cc scooter.[4]
