| FIXED DEPARTURES - The Royal Enfield Tibet Rides
|
|
|
|
TIBET - a sacred land of myths and mysteries inhabited by the ever
smiling people, has not only exerted a magnetic pull upon travelers
for centuries but also spies, missionaries, scholars, geographers,
mystics, soldiers and cranks, etc. Yet, few interpid, serious and
determined have been able to make it, remote and isolated by the
most formidable Himalayan ranges is a fascinating world of timeless
splendour, unique tradition and breathtaking scenery awaits all
travelers to the Roof of the World.
Sacred Summits (P) Ltd has been a pioneer in arranging Motorcycle
(Royal Enfield & KTM) trips to "the Roof of the World" - Tibet.
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.
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.
