Continuing on my nostalgia series of blogposts, I'd like to post about my trans-Himalayan motorcycle expedition in 2002. We were 8 people, 6 motorcycles and one car and we took off from Delhi on our wanderlust into the heart of the Himalayas. I have tried to capture the essence of the journey through pictures and a very short video. Unlike usually I was in the car as part of the support team for a large part of this journey. I rode the bike probably about 500 km throughout the entire expedition. Driving a car along the curvaceous roads which soared skywards and plunged to sea levels was a thrilling experience too. Here are the pictures:
