What’s your idea of an annual road trip? A quick journey to a nearby city, an adventure ride or maybe be an east-to-west tour of Nepal, from Mechi to Mahakali? But for the folks at Royal Enfield, it’s an entirely different thing.
Over the years, Royal Enfield India has been organizing its annual ‘Tour of Nepal’ ride, which has, over time, become a vital platform for Royal Enfield enthusiasts and riders to reunite and experience pure motorcycling bonhomie over a period of two weeks.
This year, a group of 29 Enfielders from India crossed the border into Nepal to experience this adrenaline-fueled excitement. Given the nature of the tour, a dedicated support staff and a follow-up vehicle were on hand at all times for the riders. All riders were required to wear full safety riding gears and bring well-maintained Royal Enfields to make this experience a journey of a lifetime.
The trip, which is only open to Royal Enfield owners, was not a competitive event but a chance to unwind with fellow riders. An unforgettable motorcycling experience across a variety of terrains, from the mighty Himalayas to the lush Tarai plains, gave riders a chance to experience Nepal’s natural beauty.
The Royal Enfield Tour of Nepal 2018, covering a distance of 2,430 km, started on April 15 from Lucknow. It then passed through Dhangadi, Bardiya, Lumbini, Kodari, Kathmandu, Pokhara, Kalopani, Muktinath, Tatopani and back to Pokhara before ending in Lucknow on April 28. All in all, the tour was a perfect match-up between the rider, the machine and the terrain.
