Flight to Delhi from your home country
At 15 of July we leave Delhi by train to Chandigarh. It will be a 3 hours trip that will take us to the starting point of the expedition.
The day starts with a briefing to present the organization staff. After a light meal, it´s time to ride. This will be the perfect day to get in touch with the Royal Enfields.
The third stage starts early in the morning, with a visit to the main attractions of McLeod Ganj.We will visit Buddhist Monasteries and the famous St. John church, from 1852.The church became well known after resisting to an earthquake that killed 20.000 persons.
This day, marks our entry in the Himalayan Mountains. The passage through the Thirtan Valley will be, for sure, a great moment in our journey. The route, along the Thirtan River, crosses several typical villages and it´s our entry door to the Himalayan National Park (UNESCO World Heritage).
In the fifth stage, we reach the 3000 meters. It´s an hard route, straight up to the top of Jalori Pass. It´s a “breathtaking” scenery that will help us to finish one of the longest stages of the expedition.
Our journey until Nako will be a fabulous way to recover the energy spent on the previous day.The first part of the route it´s dedicated to the visas, needed to proceed with our trip.After that, it´s a relaxing ride until the Nako Lake.
This will be another glorious day. The route until Kaza will be made through Tabo, were we stop to visit an old monastery. The Monastery is a real pearl of Tibetan art and it´s classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage.
This stage will be dedicated to the Tibetan art and culture. During all day, we will have the opportunity to visit the main attractions of Kaza. The Monastery of Kie, it´s something that we can´t miss. For many years, this was the resting place of the Dalai Lama, in his visits to the region. By the way….welcome to 4000 meters!
After the 4000 meters, we must go on to the “top of the World”! The passage through the Kuzum Pass will be an unforgettable experience. This is the main entrance to the Spiti Valley and it´s located at 4.500 meters. After that, it´s time to enjoy the ride until the magic kingdom of Chandrataal.
The first part of the route between Chandrataal and Jispa, will be an easy highway ride, but soon, we´ll be back to the twisted roads. This day ends in a fantastic camp with the stars over our heads.
Open your eyes, start your engines and prepare yourself for a hell of a ride!It´s time to test your tyres and show how good you are, riding your Royal Enfield in the “Gata Loops”! The stage is a challenge with an amazing passage through the Nakilo Pass.
The journey between Tso Kar an Leh it´s something to remember. The blue waters of the Hindu lakes appear without warning, after each corner.
