During my recent ride with Royal Enfield to the Everest Base Camp in Tibet, all of us were required to visit the customs office in Gyirong, the Tibetan border city on the Nepal-Tibetan border, where our bikes would be examined.
As we waited, a convoy of three ‘Landies’ trundled in. Of course, this piqued my interest because Land Rovers with luggage strapped on them here at the ‘Roof of the World’ certainly did not mean that they were out for a weekend drive. These cars had to be doing something fantastical, like a road trip from one continent to another.
