The riders will reach Leh on July 12 and will proceed to Khardung-La on July 14. They will be going through Keylong and Kaza, reaching Narkanda on July 22 before finally culminating the ride in Chandigarh on July 23. From the mighty peaks, down to teasing mountain curves, the riders will come face to face with the most challenging riding terrains in the world for the sheer love of motorcycling.
During the ride, the weather is likely to shift remarkably, from scorching hot to icy cold as riders will make their way through picturesque regions of the Himalayas, which house within themselves one of the most hostile and challenging environments for motorcycling. Each turn will expose riders to a new landscape like no other, leading them eventually to getting surrounded by the overwhelming beauty of the great Himalayan peaks.
