A relatively experienced motorcyclist Ken is the proud owner of a BMW touring machine that carries him, his girlfriend and their luggage with ease. But on this trip they left all that at home and joined a group touring Nepal on single cylinder Royal Enfield machines that had not one of the modern comforts found on his everyday bike! Travel with them as they traverse high mountains and deep valleys, venture into the cultural aspects of the cities and areas they visited and trek with them as they go on safari in the Nepali national park. Join them as they witness how happy the people are despite their lack of material wealth, a journey not to be missed.
