Namaste
Hola Mika and Bonjour Vincent
Yes, I'm in India, where I've been riding through blizzards and now I'm sweating in 46 degree heat in Delhi.
Ride Inn was a real treat - great food, great people and a bike friendly place.
I'm riding around on an Enfield - mine is the one on the left.
Mika, I'll maybe catch up with you in September, or if not for sure next year.

Hi Tiffany,
nice bike, what happened to your beloved Beemer, or the fantastic DR350 that you had in Madagascar?
most of the time in the last two years I spend in Bolivia (where I have my base in a small village), but the next two years I will spend traveling again ... September? I should be in Germany or Holland or Finland, who knows?
a big hug and see you in September, and if not this one, then next year ...
mika - still in Switzerland

I did this route in 2019 as soon as BRO completed it.
It is next level to the Spiti Valley road trip, forget Manali to Leh (Manali to leh is a child's play).

A little late Dev as that post is a few years old but good advice and a great video, thanks for posting. An interesting choice of bike, I have not seen any of the new Jawa although I would hope to get another Hero Impulse for a trip like that, they are in my opinion one of the best bikes for India.
I plan to get to Northern India sometime but not this year now so I have to watch videos instead, I hope you stay safe and that things soon get better in India.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
