****No 1 in Travel Writing in Amazon India****
I WANT TO RIDE AGAIN!
Three Men on Motorcycles. Hidden Himalayan hangouts. What could be better?
‘Totally hilarious. Great style of writing. Totally relatable and could not put it down. Going to download rest of his books to read.’
‘A must read for every motorcycle and travel enthusiast!! The 3 amigos rock and they take you with them, go ahead and enjoy the book.’
After their amazing ride to Ladakh, the Amigos are all pumped up to do yet another awesome ride in the high Himalayas.
Adi especially has been going insane without an opportunity to ride. RIDE RIDE RIDE - he has been babbling and moaning and groaning and everyone is glad to get him on a bike and out of their hair!
But where to go? SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED commands us to visit the awesome LAHUL SPITI region in Himachal Pradesh. This is the area bordering Ladakh on one side and China (Tibet) on the other - and is wild and untamed and unknown.
We ride up from Chandigarh, get drenched in Chail (which the Maharaja of Patiala built as a middle-finger-salute to the British) and grovel for a room in Simla, where there were no rooms due to a tsunami of tourists.
We go up the fabled Hindustan-Tibet road and explore the amazing sights of the Kinner range of Himalayas. The place is a storehouse of wonders! From the fabled monolith of Kinner Kailash to the temple town of Kalpa, we almost fall down the mountain and into the river at a landslide at Pangi village.
The gorges of the Sutlej and Spiti rivers are a sight which take your breath away - they are as amazing as the Grand Canyon - but right next to you! The wonders go on and on - the superb KaZig loops, the border villages of Chitkul in Sangla valley, the thousand year old monastery of Tabo and Dhankar, the night sky at Nako and the ancient town of Kaza and the towering Kunzum pass.
SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED pursues us in astral forms and possesses crows and waiters and sundry people to nag us and egg us on to further achievements.
Insanely funny and yet awesomely inspiring - this book is a motorcycle journey like no other!

REVIEWS
GOODREADS - ‘It is the best 😀. Throughout the reading I kept on thinking when will I be on my way to Spiti valley. Very well-written book; thoroughly enjoyable. Though the detailed historical accounts of places didn't appeal much to me. But never mind. Everything else was so good that I couldn't take my finger to the star less than the 5th one. Thank you again, Ketan for this wonderful travelogue. Hope to read more travelogues coming out of your pen.’
A GREAT SEQUEL - ‘One of the funniest takes on Biking to amazing and breathtaking places on a Bullet Enfield. A great follow up to the first book. The travel descriptions are great and make me want to try this myself. The irreverent humour and the bonding is the icing on this cake. Hope you guys go to many more such inaccessible places.’ (AMAZON INDIA)
AN ENCORE RIDE - Another great tale of the three amigos adventures. It starts off with an accident by one of the trio but ends happily with a full recovery and a long ride. A great follow-up to the first book. The author needs to include a pic of the fearsome SWMBO however :>). (AMAZON US)
WELL DONE AMIGOS - Good enjoyable easy read. Hard to put down once picked up can't wait to get third instalment of the series. (AMAZON UK)
WEE2BOOKS... his travel stories are just magical, awesome and filled with the most innocent, the purest form of fun....Ketan Joshi’s second book is even better than the first one. When it comes to writing travelogue, Ketan Joshi is simply a genius...
