On October 2015, 11 riders from around the world embarked on an arduous trip up to Muktinath on their Royal Enfields. Their purpose was to show the world is Nepal is safe, and that the best way to help was to book a kickass holiday into this beautiful country.
The crew managed to make it to Mustang at the onset of the fuel crisis that was crippling the nation for quite a long time.
“The trip, as it turned out, was as much a ride-of-a-lifetime as it was a frantic treasure hunt for petrol—the crew scored four litres (packaged in one litre water bottles) at Tatopani, five at Lete, three at Marpha, then finally a jackpot of 35 liters at the dubiously-named Eklo Bhatti (Lone Tavern), just beyond Jomsom.”
Watch the incredible journey of the crew members despite the fuel embargo.
