Kyoul - Dungti Road, Ladakh
Ladakh
My first visit to Ladakh was in 2011 with my family—a fly-in, fly-out trip to Leh organized by a tour operator. Back then, I was in college, but something in Ladakh captured my heart. After starting my job in Bangalore, I joined a larger motorcycling community, and with 20,000 km of riding experience, I set out on my first solo Ladakh journey in 2017—covering a whopping 7,500 km.
But one trip was never enough. In 2021, I returned solo from Kharagpur, and in 2022, I conquered the Zanskar circuit. Most recently, in 2024, I explored the remote Changthang areas, including Hanle, Umling La (the highest motorable road), Demchok, and many other unseen parts of Ladakh. When people ask, "Phir jaoge kya?" My answer is always: Why not?

Lahaul & Spiti Valley
Spiti Valley, nestled high in the Himalayas, is a land of stark beauty, ancient monasteries, and remote villages. Known as the "cold desert," its rugged landscapes and clear skies offer a breathtaking experience for adventure seekers. Spiti's hidden treasures include the highest post office in the world, fossil parks with ammonites dating back millions of years, and villages like Komic, Langza, and Hikkim—each with its own charm and history.
In 2021, I embarked on an unforgettable journey from Kharagpur, West Bengal, heading straight to Delhi, where I joined my friend Nishant on a camping adventure to Spiti Valley. We entered via Shimla, riding through the beautiful Sangla and Chitkul circuits before making our way to Nako, Tabo, and Kaza. The highlight of the trip was camping in Gue, a remote village near the China border. In Kaza, I explored the iconic villages of Langza, Hikkim, and Komic, where we discovered ancient fossils, visited the world’s highest post office, and witnessed the highest motorable village.
We exited Spiti via Kunzum Pass, entering Lahaul, before I continued my journey towards Zanskar. The Spiti Valley’s breathtaking landscapes, isolated charm, and thrilling rides made this an adventure of a lifetime. Join me in reliving this ride through my travel stories and vlogs!

TAWANG CIRCUIT
In May 2024, just before the monsoons arrived, I embarked on an exhilarating ride through the mystical Tawang circuit of Arunachal Pradesh, riding my father’s Royal Enfield Classic 350. Starting from Kharagpur, I traveled through Siliguri and took a detour into the free city of Bhutan before entering Arunachal Pradesh at Bhairabkunda. My route led me through the serene beauty of Shergaon, the heights of Mandala Top, and the vibrant town of Dirang. Along the way, I explored the stunning Chug Valley and headed towards Tawang via the majestic Sela Pass.
Arunachal Pradesh is a land of unparalleled beauty. Its unspoiled nature, vibrant culture, and friendly locals make it one of India’s most enchanting destinations. From the snow-capped mountains of Sela Pass to the peaceful monasteries of Tawang, the journey offered breathtaking views and a deep connection with nature. The roads westward led me to the remote and picturesque villages of Zemithang and Lumla, where I experienced the true wilderness of the state.
This trip through Arunachal Pradesh was an eye-opener, highlighting the state's unique mix of natural beauty, spirituality, and adventure. It is truly one of the last frontiers for exploration in India. Join me in reliving this ride through my stories and vlogs, and discover why Arunachal is a must-visit for every traveler!

Beautiful Sunset at Pushkar, Rajasthan
Rajasthan
In early 2021, I set out on an unforgettable journey across Rajasthan on my Royal Enfield Himalayan 411. Starting from Kharagpur, I traveled the historic Mughal road to Agra and explored the hidden gems of Fatehpur Sikri before entering Rajasthan at Bharatpur. My route took me through the vibrant cities of Jaipur, Pushkar, Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Udaipur, each offering a unique glimpse into the royal heritage, culture, and flavors of the state.
From riding through the lush greens of Udaipur to the sand dunes of Jaisalmer and the iconic Pokhran nuclear test site, Rajasthan was a life-changing experience. The state’s rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and warm hospitality made this journey one to remember.
