Start this epic ride with a visit to the Royal Eneld factoryto see how the machines you ride are built. Then follows aday riding on an exclusive race track a course aimed at

improving riding techniques, skills and safety consciousness withguidance from some of our most experienced factory riders. Safetyis a primary concern that underlines leisure and adventure motor-cycling rides undertaken by Royal Eneld.

Feel the whiffs of salty sea breeze on your weather-beaten faceas you ride along the east coast to Rameswaram and Kanyakumari the southern-most tip of India. The coastal road is largely linedwith coconut palms and a viewof the deep blue sea; it skims thecoastline and disappears into thebeach at some places and divesinto thick banana plantationswhere it curves, rises and fallslike a roller coaster ride.

We will then venture into

endless scenic landscapes through interior roads that will test yournavigation skills riding past the back waters of Kerala followed byan incursion into lush wild life reserves with plenty of hills withsteep gradients and sometimes treacherously narrow hilly roads,as you encounter wild elephants, bison and deer, to name a few.This is the ride in which you would also ride through many WildlifeSanctuaries of southern India and get a chance to see wildlife upclose during this ride. Dipping down, we will ride through rollingacres of tea, coffee and spice plantations - the worlds envy forcenturies.

Not only is this a true test ofman and machine traversing3000 kilometers, it also gives youan opportunity to spend timewith likeminded riders and sharethe Royal Eneld passion insome of the most scenic environ-ments and that India has to offer.
