Himalayas 1000mls and 40,000 bends!!

Post by devon john »

just got back home after a wonderful adventure holiday travelling the foothills of the Himalayas we did over a 1000mls and an estimated 40,000 bends!!!
those Royal Enfield,s took a hell of a beating the perfect bike for the conditions .
a modern bike would kill you on them roads!!!!
i went with Blazing trails a well organized tour with only a few small blips.
i wouldn't have miss it for the world a great ADVENTURE

I believe Overland Magazine is offering a Nepalese tour on Enfields for £2grand plus flights next year.

I would love to see the photos of your trip, and perhaps even a write up of your adventure.
Cheers,
