David did a trip on a Royal Enfield motorcycle, on the highest motor-able road in the world, the Khardungla Pass, which is 5604 meters above sea level. The trip ran from New Delhi, India up to Ladakh, the highest plateau of the Indian state of Kashmir.  Ladakh spans the Himalayan and Karakoram mountain ranges.  The presentation will be of the trip, the motorcycle and the people he met along the way as well as the awesome scenery of the region and the “Khardungla Pass”.   <?xml:namespace prefix = o />
