As the video says, the duo had a dream to take a road trip somewhere in this world since childhood. Now, 16 years later, they decided to take that journey.

The route took them from Manila to Leh, Tso Moriri, Khardung La and the Nubra Valley. Along their Royal Enfields faced breakdowns, they traversed dilapidated roads and dodged oncoming trucks. Below you can see their account of their 680-mile journey in all of its glory.
