Ladakh

Khardungla Pass is dream of many travelers and riders and we were on the footsteps of that dream becoming true. After a day of relaxation in Leh city witnessing Shanti Stupa, Leh Palace, Leh Market and few more near by sights. Our 2nd day in Ladakh was one of the most adventurous and dream come true day. Khardungla: a dream come true On my first time travel to Ladakh, I visited Khardungla pass in 2012 and there I met a motorcyclist who came to Ladakh on a Royal Enfield Classic with India’s flag proudly waving in front of his bike.

THE MORNING Day 3 began with the same sense of urgency as the day before. By 8:30 AM, we arrived at the Royal Enfield Service Center to begin a thorough technical analysis of the “rogue” bike that had been causing us trouble.

The Himalayas demand more than just physical endurance; they serve as a brutal testing ground for your spirit, your patience, and the reliability of your gear. Our expedition officially launched with a grueling 700-kilometer marathon from the flat plains to Udhampur. During that initial leg, a blistering summer heat hammered down on us, feeling less like weather and more like a physical weight pressing against our chests. Yet, as we finally rolled into Udhampur, a wave of collective excitement surged through the group. We felt a sense of triumph, knowing that from this point forward, the jagged, majestic landscapes and
