This was the first time the allnew Royal Enfield Himalayan met the Nepali Himalayas. I have been fortunate enough to ride on snow quite a few times in the past in our Indian Himalayan terrain. However, this was the first time I actually got to ride and shoot while it snowed. The feeling of snowflakes falling on riding gear, accumulating on the motorcycle while it stands there posing for pictures - what a feeling! What didn't help matter too much was that no amount of layering helped the cold from making the body tremble.
Day 4 of our Himalayan Adventure Ride to Manang 2024 was a rest day (a 'chill' day, like Gen Z would say). On this day, our photographers on the ride, Ashik Thomas and Ankit Sharma, asked me if I'd like to ride the Himalayan in the terrain of Manang so that they could shoot some pictures of someone monkeying around on the bike. I instantly agreed to this for the only reason that I didn't want to rest or chill - I am simply and eternally incapable of such a thing.
We headed out to a dam about 10 minutes away from the Hotel Yeti in Manang. While Ashik proceeded to shoot still pictures of the Himalayan in that beautiful terrain, I sat on the age-old rocks, thinking about how different the life back in my home city of Mumbai is.
