  • S.E.A Odyssey: A Journey Across South East Asia

    This is the story of 4 bikers who have decided to explore South East Asia on their motorcycles. They started off from Mumbai and will be riding all the way to Singapore. In the process they will cover 19000 km, 5 countries and 34 cities over 50 days.


    This is what they have to say about the road so far!



    While it seemed impossible to rectify the issue, the technicians at Central Triumph took some exceptional efforts and managed to fix the issue and drop the bike back at our hotel and also do a regular check up on other bikes. Thank you Deepak Makhija and Mayank for your valiant efforts.
    We were also greeted and welcomed by fellow biker buddy Dharmendra Jain, who made sure that our stay was comfortable and hosted a delicious dinner with some lip smacking authentic homemade food. It was a brilliant affair! Our choice of hotel i.e. Best Western, was a great choice with a comfortable stay and secure parking for all bikes! Day one was a great start to our ride which energized us to go ahead with full enthusiasm into the odyssey!


    Day 2:
    After our night stay at Indore, we were greeted by the friendly face of Dharmendra Jain, who was kind enough to escort us out of the city and point us in the right direction towards Jhansi. We decided in advance that in order to save time, we shall avoid taking a halt for lunch, and instead feast on some homemade theplas which Chetna Kapoor had very intuitively packed with her prior to the ride. The sense of satisfaction to eat some delectable food on the side of a highway with a cool breeze flowing is quite magical. It simply refreshes you whole heartedly and gives you all the boost you need to move ahead in your ride with full throttle.

    While we were happily cruising on the highway, we happened to meet up with a very pleasant surprise, and realized that we were indeed crossing over the tropic of cancer! Much to our delight, we stopped and soaked in this fact and were amazed as to how one can find something so fascicating in the middle of nowhere!

    We immediately jumped this opportunity and eagerly rode to pay a visit to this heritage site! The Sanchi Stupa was a feast to the senses and we could cherish the calm and peace within the stupa that was built by King Asoka in honour of Lord Buddha and his disciples.

    While we could not resist these halts, we were forced to extend our riding time into the night, and while we were well equipped with good lights, the cold caught us completely unawares ! We finally reached Hotel Jhansi and feasted on some delicious Indian cuisine which was the speciality of their in house restaurant. The secure parking for the bike put us at ease and allowed us to slip away into our warm beds, for some much deserved rest before we headed out into the next days ride!

                    Its good that you guys are on so awesome journey. But sad to see, even you people dont respect our own archeological sights. Sanchi was too important place for Buddhism and it holds hundered of historical stories.

                    pls be a responsible rider abd responsible citizen too.

                        First time I've seen a female on a Triumph Tiger. Even some guys would find that bike a bit tough to manage. That's awesome!

                        Once I have donned my black helmet, I become anonymous. My face ceases to identify me. My black visor shields others from the rigours of my passing glance while shielding me from their attempts to peer into my soul. I am an anonymous rider shrouded in black. I am no longer a specific self. I am a passing Traveller.
