With the debut of women riders on the fray, Indian two-wheeler giant Royal Enfield today flagged off the 13th edition of the Himalayan Odyssey from the iconic India Gate.

As many as 83 men and 20 women riders from various countries will cover over 2,500 kilometers, mapping diverse terrains ranging from streets of Delhi to snow clad valleys of Ladakh during the 15-day Himalayan Odyssey, which is often considered as the holy grail of motorcycling.

Speaking on the occasion, Senior Vice President, Sales, Services and Spares, Royal Enfield, Shaji Koshy said, “For six decades, Royal Enfield has been the motorcycle of choice for all those who have wanted to ride to the mountains. This year, we have introduced the Himalayan Odyssey – Women, an exclusive all women’s ride that promises to be the ultimate motorcycling adventure for all women who ride a Royal Enfield.”

”We have received an encouraging response towards this and we hope ride becomes an inspiration for many more women to take up motorcycling in India,” he added.

He added, “The Himalayan is the culmination of Royal Enfield’s 60 years of enduring history in its spiritual home the Himalayas. Our single biggest insight in all these years of riding has been that the best motorcycle for the Himalayas is not one that tries to dominate its landscape, but one that is able to go with its flow.”With its purpose-built ground-up design, the Himalayan is a simple and capable go-anywhere motorcycle that will redefine adventure touring in India.”
