Helmet Stories ride to Spiti through the eyes of Kismet Jewell Nakai

To Quote Kismet "Strange isn’t it, how most of us are more than eager to hop on to a plane to some exotic place where the landscape is breath-taking, there are rivers gushing through the valleys, towns with a population of twenty and endless skies of blue….wait a second! Jump on to a plane to ANOTHER country? When we have all of that right here in India? Guilty, as charged. Luckily , there is always time to rectify that." So in May Kismet joined us on our ride to Spiti.

Kismet has done a brilliant post on her blog so we "borrowed" a handful of pictures to post on ours to show you the trip through her viewfinder.

The Road to Kalpa

Sarahan to Kalapa is about 90kms apart but in this part of the world that 90kms can take you all day. The roads are in decent condition so we made our way easily with many a stop for pictures. Today we loose connectivity as we head out to Nako. 

Cold Play

Remember last year in December we rode up to Kaza on two Triumph motorcycles. A Speed Triple ridden by Ouseph from Evo India and a Bonneville ridden by me. Well here is the story from Ousephs perspective that came out in the Evo Offroad January 2015. 

A Triumphant ride into the Himalayas

Almost a month ago Ouseph and I rode two Triumph Motorcycles deep into the Himalayas in the search of snow.The idea was to ride into the Spiti Valley and see if we could get to Kaza. The valley had already seen its first snowfall and Kaza was covered in a blanket of white a few weeks before we left so we needed to be peppered for the cold, the fact that there may be no where to stay in Kaza and that there may be no fuel for the bikes to make the trip back. We made it to Kaza and came back with heck of a story which you can check out out the January 2015 Edition of Evo India on stands now or just check here for the digital version. Google Play: http://bit.ly/1wQOqJk and iOS App Store: https://appsto.re/in/k2zxR.i
