Into the Jungle 🌳

A bonus leg for the riders on the Northeast Adventure as we entered the beautiful Eagle Nest Wildlife Sanctuary and got a solid off-road stretch to end the final day of our ride!

We were warned about a rogue elephant in the forest but were fortunate to only see its tracks and nothing more! 🐘

A challenging but epic end to what was a great adventure 🏍️

All smiles as we made our way towards Tenga Valley on the penultimate day of the Northeast Adventure! Great weather and even better company ensured everyone was in great spirits as we neared the conclusion of this epic ride! 😎

Stunning Sangti Valley greeted us with the customary Arunachali rainfall, with the showers stopping on cue as soon as we rolled into the parking area for the day 🌧️🫡

A superbly quaint little town, the group was given a real experience of the North-East not covered in your everyday itinerary! Close to zero cellular network meant dinner was better than ever, with no smartphones to take away anyone’s attention 😎

We were blessed with bright sunshine the next morning as we began the last legs of our Northeast Adventure ☀️

We began the return leg from Tawang with a quick stop at the fantastic Nuranang Falls in Jang - truly a sight for sore eyes on a beautiful sunny day! 🤩

Shortly after, the group rode through the relatively recently constructed Sela Tunnel, made to keep the axis open through most of the year, before beginning our descent to Dirang and beyond! 🏍️

More hard yards covered as we made our way to the iconic Sangestar Lake en route to Bumla during the Northeast Adventure 🏔️

Shortly after the famous lake, the on and off road groups re-convened and rode together to the pass, enjoying the show put on by the military personnel at our boundary with China on this axis! 🫡

After thanking them for their service, we made our way down the tarmac in pelting rain to Tawang, our halt for the night 🌃

The weather gods had our back as we began our ride towards Bumla - the most challenging part of the Northeast Adventure! 🏔️

The group was split into two, with some of the bikes not suitable for the off-road sections - both groups would converge further up the road and make a combined ascent towards the pass later in the day!

Blue skies, green mountains and a super day of riding 🏍️

All smiles as we made our way from Tawang to Zimithang - mere kilometers away from our neighbours in Bhutan at points! A stunning ride through dense, green forests with great weather accompanying us for most of the day! 🌳🏍️

Another brilliant day during the Northeast Adventure! 🐅

Our first stop on Day 2 of the Northeast Adventure was the Memorial for the fallen heroes during the Battle of Nyukmadung (1962) 💐

The weather was on our side and we made a small stop to pay our respects before carrying on towards Sela Pass 🏔️

Having reached Dirang after dark the previous evening, the group took advantage of the early sunrise in the region to enjoy the stunning views before departing for Tawang! ⛰️

The customary rider briefing followed as the day promised to be challenging - we would be crossing Sela Pass later on (but more on that 🔜) - and before long the riders were on their way!

Day 1 of the Northeast Adventure - starting out from a warm Guwahati and quickly getting out of city limits before entering Arunachal Pradesh - where we would spend the remaining many days 🌳

A day to get back to grips with your motorcycle and ensure everything was as it should be after the long transportation exercise to the north-east, as well as getting familiar with one another’s riding 🏍️

Certified ✅

Three days of riding through some epic, technical trails amidst the apple orchards and cedar forests of Himachal 🌲🍎

The boys were well worth their Level 2 certificates at the end of the event, and then some! Plenty of moments en route, but a job well done 👏🏻

More from Day 3 of our private train and ride program as we upped the ante on some unforgiving trails 🤪

Plenty of heart in mouth moments but nothing less than a great feeling of accomplishment once we hit the tarmac after the entire day spent in some deeply rutted forest trails with minimal room for error!

The smiles say it all! 😎

Day 3 and we were quite confident pushing the boundaries of the riders a little (even if they were not!) 🤪😎

After a few teething problems at the start of the day (an unfortunate puncture on one of the bikes), we were soon in the thick of the forest trails again, each one gnarlier than the last! 🏍️🌲

More to come on this epic day in the coming posts, since Instagram only allows us to post 10 photos at a time! 👀

There’s no place like home 🏡 🌲

And when home happens to be stunning biker paradise with great weather for most of the year, that definitely helps 🤩

Training, trails and a stellar coffee break to boot 🏍️🤓☕️

Day 2 of our train and ride program began with a few more pointers for the riders who were rapidly gaining confidence on the gnarly trails presented to them! Some more kilometres through the dirt was followed by a peaceful coffee break in a stunning meadow 🌲

Finally back riding through the beautiful forest trails of Himachal Pradesh on some absolutely stonking ADV’s - a private train and ride program for a super enthusiastic group of riders from Bombay! 🤩

Incredible views, weather and company while tackling some extremely gnarly trails - we had a great time showing the group the real Himachal on two wheels 🏍️🌲

The last week was awesome and we can’t wait to post all about it in the coming days 😎

Camping under the night sky is part and parcel of the experience at the 🏕️🏍️

The team will have to pitch their own tents and set out their bedding after every day’s riding at the Trophy, so we decided it would be best to give them a taste of the experience in the dunes around Sam! 🏜️

Delicious dinner under the stars before the team headed back to our camp leaving Team India to spend the night under the watchful eye of the elements and of course! 🌌

There’s no substitute to teamwork at the 🦾🏜️

Though riders will be covering hundreds of kilometres daily at the Trophy, the unique tests is where they’ll be scored and ultimately ranked in the competition 📊

Keeping this in mind, we put the team through some of the famous tests they’re likely to face during the upcoming competition - all the way from pulling our stacked Fortuner using a tow strap, the (in)famous BMW slow race, guiding a blindfolded teammate through a course of cones using their devices and many more!

Team India will have to expect the unexpected at the event and will have to rely on one another to make it through with the highest possible scores, but we were glad to see the bond between the riders strengthen all the way through the training program!

An early start to what was initially an extremely humbling day for the riders as we introduced them to deep sand for the first time! 🏜️

The power and weight of the GS would have to be used smartly to ensure that the riders wouldn’t bog down in the deeper stuff. Lessons were learned and the application of the same was superb - soon all the boys were making a good fist of their battle against this foreign terrain, coupled with the heat that only the desert can bring! 🏍️

Team India for a reason! 😎🇮🇳

We had the pleasure of training Team India for the upcoming edition of the BMW GS Trophy to be held in Namibia later this year, and what better place to put them through their paces than the sand of the Thar Desert! 🏜️🇮🇳

More on how the trip went in the coming days but here’s an introduction to the riders who will be representing our country at BMW’s pinnacle event in September!

.venkatesh .kidilam will be representing the team 🏍️🇮🇳

will have the mammoth task of documenting the event for all of us back home, but will also be riding along the team for the duration of the event! 📸🖋️

And of course .javanmardi who represented Team India in the last edition of the Trophy, who is presently one of the instructors for and tasked with training this year’s team for the event! 📈

The Jimny passed the Ice Kross test with flying colours! Adept in every kind of terrain, super convenient and manoeuvrable on narrow trails, and comfortably making its way through whatever Spiti threw at it! ❄️

Definitely an eye-opener for the entire group! 👀

Our story

The World's highest Rally Raid.

Established in 1999. Making grown men cry ever since.

Started in 1999 as a salve to 3 motorsport junkies whose desire to wander aimlessly, albeit at ridiculously high speeds across the Himalayan landscape, led them to fire up an idea that gave birth to the now quite famous Rallye Raid de Himalaya - a cross country rally that runs 2000 kms across the Western Himalaya just as winter is tightening its death grip on the mountains.

This annual pilgrimage of masochists, armed to the teeth with outdated equipment and dubious 4x4’s will attempt to beat icy roads, frozen riverbeds and the highest mountain passes in the world in an attempt to win the ‘World’s Highest Rally’ !
