Royal Enfield has announced the dates of the 2017 Himalayan Odyssey, which is a riding excursion from Delhi to Khardung-La, the highest motorable road in the world. The ride has been scheduled from July 6 to July 23, 2017.

The excursion is divided into two contingents - Himalayan Odyssey (HO) and Himalayan Odyssey - Women (HO-W). Both contingents will be flagged off together on Saturday, July 8, 2017 from India Gate in New Delhi. They will then take different routes and will eventually re-join at Leh. For the 14th edition of the ride, Royal Enfield will be taking 50 participants on the HO contingent and 20 women participants on HO-W.

The 18-day ride will see participants cover around 2,200 km in total on their Royal Enfield motorcycles to reach Khardung-La, which is located at 18,300 feet above sea level. They will travel through Narkanda, Sarchu, Jispa and Leh. Royal Enfield will be providing support including service staff, technicians and doctors with each contingent.

Registrations for the 2017 Royal Enfield Himalayan Odyssey are currently underway on the company's official website. The registration fee has been pegged at Rs. 48,000 for an individual and Rs. 96,000 for a couple.
