A Solo Royal Enfield Motorcycle Journey Across the Highways of India

After resigning from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) at age forty-one, P.G. Tenzing mounted his Royal Enfield Thunderbird motorcycle for a nine-month solo journey across India. Riding through Kerala, Goa, Maharashtra, Gujarat, the Himalayas, and the Northeast, Tenzing navigated highways, monsoon rains, and rural backroads.

Tenzing records road conditions, roadside dhaba meals, encounters with mechanics and travelers, and reflections on leaving corporate bureaucracy for the open road.

Why You’ll Love This Book

P.G. Tenzing shares direct motorcycle route observations, Indian highway travel details, and unvarnished personal reflections. A classic motorcycling travelogue for riders, travel readers, and Indian road trip enthusiasts.
