Motorcycle Adventure in the Himalayas

The Indian Himalayan motorcycle adventure is the Himalayan odyssey, this famous Manali-Leh road is the great adventure to experience once-in-a-lifetime on Royal Enfield. We ride around 1500kms during 10 days ride, riding some the toughest and highest motor-able roads on the planet. These highest and toughest terrains have been our playgrounds since last many years and we ride there every year from May to September, As this Little Tibet of India remains close during 7 months of the year due to heavy snowfall and harsh climate condition, when temperature drops down to -30 in the winter. The northern land of Indian sub-continent is mountainous and sparsely populated, arid geography and high mountain passes makes it hard motorcycle trip and checks the riders core.  

 

The road is real fun, 50% is gravel and rest is tarmac with pits and holes that you may struggle to avoid. Border road organization works throughout the summer to repair the road but the harsh winter cracks it up and leaves it back in the same condition, if you have got a a saggy beer belly, a Kidney belt may help you to tight! 

The best time to ride the northern Indian Himalayas is summer, Mid June to Mid September, although its summer but weather up at the higher passes changes in a minute, a rain suit and few extra inner liners are advised to pack in your day back-pack.  

On ride with us, you must have at lest 2 to 3 years of motorcycling experience and fair bit of gravel ride experience as well. Roads are full of tricks that you need to know, how to tackle! Sharpe bends, zigzagging constant hairpins, slick bends, mud-patches and snow sleets, sand patches and hard-core gravel. If you are pillion, make that you keep an eye on the road as well, rider may not always avoid the pits and Royal Enfield suspensions are not really shock proof and result can be tragic. We have had many causality during our rides, it usually happens while racing or not been careful on the road. It's a holiday ride and we will not allow you to race. 

The scenery is so sublime and it keep dragging our attentions, we have plenty of time on the road and you can always stop to take photos and enjoy the ride, there is always a back-jeep with our crew to look after you.
