"I always dreamed of riding with a group, I'm grateful that TVS Moto diaries became one of those, and riding with them through the curves of the Himalayas was an amazing experience. The way you meet such great minds on the ride, you don't just come back as a rider but as a great explorer. TVS takes care of all your stays and luggage while you have to focus on the day-to-day ride as planned. The best part is that you don't need to worry about your vehicle on the terrain as the expert mechanics will make your machine feel new the next day. I'm eager again to join the ride and again get lifetime memories."
