The Himalayas Beckon
The sixth Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey kicks off soon. The sixth Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey kicks off soon. Come summer and the mountain passes leading to the highest motorable roads in the world open up.
This also means its time for the annual Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey. Into its sixth edition, the Odyssey first took place in 1997 but since 2005, it has been happening on a yearly basis and has ever since has turned into an annual biking nirvana for some.
This year, the ride will kick off from Delhi on the 15th of June, and will cover the highs of Leh-Ladakh as well as the cold deserts of Spiti Valley before ending back at New Delhi on the 28th.
The participating fee has gone up by a small margin but we don't think it will hinder the participating from Royal Enfield fans and owners. We will as usual be there and needless to say it will be a good platform to know our readers better too.
