  • Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vs Triumph Scrambler 400X vs KTM 390 Adventure - The Ultimate Southern India Expedition!
    Episode 2: From Shivamogga to Mysore: A Journey Through History and Culture
    As the sun rises over the quaint town of Shivamogga, we start our engines, listen to each individual sound as they tick over and warm up.Ready to continue our epic adventure through Southern India. With the Western Ghats bidding us farewell, we set our sights on the historic city of Mysore, renowned for its rich heritage and majestic palaces.
    Leaving behind the verdant landscapes of Shivamogga, we embark on a journey that promises to be filled with captivating sights and cultural discoveries. The road ahead unfolds with winding paths and scenic vistas, offering us glimpses of rural life against the backdrop of lush greenery.
    The Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 proves its mettle once again, effortlessly tackling every twist and turn with its rugged build and dependable performance. Its upright riding position and long-travel suspension ensure a comfortable ride, allowing us to soak in the beauty of our surroundings without missing a beat.
    The Triumph Scrambler 400X exudes elegance as it gracefully navigates the roads, its timeless design and modern engineering seamlessly blending style with performance. With its smooth power delivery and precise handling, the Scrambler effortlessly glides through the countryside, commanding attention wherever it goes.
    Meanwhile, the KTM 390 Adventure darts ahead with agility, its lightweight chassis and powerful engine propelling it forward with gusto. Equipped with advanced electronics and off-road capabilities, the 390 Adventure eagerly explores the rugged terrain, always ready to take on new challenges.

    It's incredibly how well you have managed to embrace the absolute chaos of Indian roads. My own cousin who moved to the States for studies and settled down there couldn't handle driving in India when he returned after 10 years! :)

    You can try eating Idli which is made of rice flour and isn’t spicy at all. Just ask them to not put curry inside idli and give that separately in a bowl.
    It’s bland for my taste but it’s a light breakfast for the ride.
    You can try yoghurt with rice which is called ‘ curd rice ‘ for lunch if you don’t want to try anything spicy.
