Ride to the Himalayas on a Royal Enfield Bullet

We dream about achieving multiple things in life. Few of us aspire to fly a plane, few love the coffee along with raindrops on the front window and few of us love to travel! I believe the one's who travel are the blesseth ones!

Having upgraded to a bullet in 2016, I always wanted to travel along the Himalayas. After months of planning, the dream finally came true in June 2018. A friend of mine joined me from Mumbai for the trip and little did we know that our life was about to change post the trip!

Could make it happen thanks to this machine:

We took the following route:

Delhi - Amritsar - Patnitop - Sonamarg - Leh - Nubra - Pangong Tso - Tso Moriri - Zing Zing bar (do read about this part) - Manali - Delhi

While I rode solo until Amritsar, my friend joined me in from there.
