When Royal Enfield launched the Himalayan in 2016, few imagined how profoundly it would change the world of adventure motorcycling. Purpose-built for India’s mountain roads yet destined for global trails, the Himalayan redefined what exploration meant by making it simple, rugged, and-above all-affordable. From its humble beginnings to the worldwide acclaim of the Himalayan 450, this is the story of how a motorcycle captured the imagination of students in Delhi, commuters in London, and explorers in Patagonia alike.Himalayan High traces the journey of Royal Enfield from the nostalgic aura of the Bullet to the creation of a true adventure icon. It follows the bike’s early struggles, its global reception, and the grassroots community that transformed it from a product into a movement. Along the way, it examines the cultural, economic, and industrial impact of a machine that united riders across borders and generations.Rich in detail and global in scope, this book reveals how simplicity became revolutionary, how affordable freedom inspired a world community, and how Royal Enfield turned an unlikely motorcycle into one of India’s greatest exports.
