At Sacred Summits, we believe in pitting our expertise and support skills against the odds, and testament to our achievements are the events posted here on this website. If there is an adventure trail in the Himalayas that you would like to negotiate, and for which you would require technical assistance and logistical support, call us to arrange it for you. 

Sacred Summits (P) Ltd has been a pioneer in arranging Motorcycle (Royal Enfield & KTM) trips to "the Roof of the World" - Tibet.

With a view of giving our clients a program so exclusive and challenging these programs on motorcycles was specially tailored since 2002. Riding on the highest plateau of the world, passing 10 high passes of above 5000 meters, covering a distance of more than 2000 kilometers in 14 days are just a few highlights in the Tibet ride. Rides in the hills of India involve riding on meandering roads passing beautiful tea gardens and villages and getting fantastic views of the Himalayas.

For sure these trips are not for the faint hearted as it involves long hours of rides in the dusty road and rough terrain added with high altitude. Fitness to a certain level and an experience to handle a two-wheeler is a must.

In the coming years we have planned the classic Volkswagen Beetle car ride to Tibet (2207a ride to Ladhak (2007)& Mongolia (2008). In this section of Adventure Extraordinaire we promise nothing less than an adventure of a life time!

The Himalayan Enfielders, a Kathmandu based motorcycle club comprising of individual owners of the classic Royal Enfield motorcycle have, since the founding of their organization, organized several events associated with touring within the country for various worthy causes.

In September 2003, members of the club set their eyes on Tibet and decided to pit the endurance of their machines against the rugged trans-Himalayan terrain on the Roof of the World. On this adventure extraordinaire, Sacred Summits contracted the deal to provide logistical support for the 15-day Kathmandu/Kathmandu overland trip that went deep into central Tibet as far as Lhasa, and then towards the Everest Base Camp in Rongbuk before returning back to Kathmandu.

The Royal Enfield 'Bullet' in all its obsolescence is still manufactured in India with little change in the original 1949-55 design. Despite its primitive looks and very basic mechanical construction, the charm of this bike lies in its low-tech gas-guzzling four-stroke engine. Turn it on, and the air around you reverberates with a low frequency rhythmic rumble. This is the classic heavy-bike-sound of the fifties and sixties, no longer found in today's hi-tech machines. At a gross dry-weight of 165 kilograms (or more) with engines available either in the 350 cc., or the 500 cc. mold, the Enfield is the only locally manufactured touring bike readily available in South Asia.

In spite of its age, both in design and technology, it is heartening to note today that the Royal Enfield Bullet motorbike has lived on to become a cult machine with a broad fan base all over the world. To know more about these bikes, log on to http://www.royalenfield.com/
