Highlights

The 12th edition of Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey Ride is all set to kick-start on July 10, and will conclude on July 25, 2015. Royal Enfield's flagship motorcycle event will witness 75 RE riders this year who will start their journey with a briefing on 10th July and flag off on July 11. The company says that the riders, this year, will take a completely revamped route to Leh via Sarchu Pass. In the 17 days of the journey, the riders will cover more than 2,500 kilometres to the Khardung-La Pass - the world's highest motor-able road known for harsh weather conditions. The scenic Himalayan landscape will be a respite for riders as they battle the treacherous terrains in the most majestic locations of Himalayas that include Parwanoo, Narkanda, Kalpa, Kaza, Jispa, Sarchu, Rumtse and Leh. Starting off with sweltering heat in the plains on 6 lane highways, Himalayan Odyssey takes the rider to cool hilly areas and eventually getting them surrounded by the overwhelming beauty of the great Himalayan peaks. Royal Enfield started the Himalayan Odyssey in 2003 and over the past decade scores of riders have had the pleasure of riding their motorcycles through the picturesque landscape of Ladakh to Leh and then beyond to Khardung La.
