Day 1
The Adventure continues in the Himlayas for 2025 and this time the journey began with all the riders meeting up in Manali, India a beautiful little town around 7 hours drive away from Delhi.
The location of meeting up was at Ride Inn Cafe. I've told myself that I should write about this place as its absolutely beautiful place to just relax and indulge yourself in the nature of the mountains.
The one and only restaurant was just filled with memorabilia of past riders which has come and stayed here. The owner is also an adventurer himself and loves to accommodate riders from all across the globe.
The rooms are no doubt nice and cozy and a great place to relax before the coming days of really long long rides around the mountains of the Himalayas.
As for the views .. I can't seem to put it into words apart from "blissful" or "serene"
Just sitting at the open air part of the cafe is enough to just hangout all day as the weather here at the Ride Inn Cafe (Manali) is nice and cool.
When night comes .. when everything turns dark, you can still see the nightsky .. unfortunately it was cloudy most of the time we were there so no star gazing from this point.
However in the day time when the sun rises, you are treated to the wonders of the land and wondered .. "should i even leave this beautiful place ?"
Just below the Ride Inn Cafe & Resort, there is a river which you can actually walk up to and this was one of those shots which was able to be captured the phone.
Like I said after all the relaxation and everyone has arrived and once all our bikes came .. it was ready to just have a quick feel of the bikes before we set off for the long journey to Ladakh.
There are many places where you can stop nearby and just have a short break.
But once we have ensure all our bikes are ready and all our gears are packed .. we then have our final brief before we start our journey around the Himalayas.
Of the the pleasures in life when going around the Himalayas. A GOOD and CLEAN toilet !! You would surely appreciate it a LOT.
Well .. thats the start of Day 1. The adventures in the Himalayas 2025 consist of 10 riders from Malaysia and Singapore riding thru the terrains mostly around Manali and Ladakh exploring the wonderful places, cultures and also feasting the eyes with sights beautiful sceneries which would remain in memories of a lifetime.
