700 ore in India

Diary of the trip

Three thousand kilometres in twenty days, from the Himalaya to the deserts of Rajasthan, in the saddle of a Royal Enfield 500.

The trip's overall route
The whole route: two loops crossing at Delhi — up, toward the Himalaya, then down, into the Rajasthan desert. A strange figure-eight, lying on its side.
