Royal Enfield has rolled out a new off-road initiative, Himalayan Spirit, exclusively for Himalayan 450 owners. This hands-on training program will debut on September 14, 2025, at BigRock Dirt Park in Kolar, Karnataka, with registration priced at Rs 1,500 per participant. The focus is on building off-road proficiency, encouraging peer learning, and nurturing the growing adventure community, all outside a competitive setting.
At the heart of the Himalayan Spirit program are two unique practice loops. The ‘Challenge loop’ is crafted to help riders develop balance and control on rugged terrain, while the ‘Navigation loop’ trains participants in wayfinding and adapting to unfamiliar trails. Together, these modules aim to equip Himalayan 450 owners with the skills needed for extended adventure riding.

Participants will use their own Himalayan 450 motorcycles for every drill. Each rider will experience the bike’s 452cc liquid-cooled Sherpa engine, six-speed gearbox, and ride-by-wire throttle. The training will be led by mentors who guide riders through practical exercises, helping build skill and confidence step by step in real-world conditions.

The program places a strong spotlight on responsible riding. Attendees engage in technical drills and are introduced to sustainable trail etiquette, with sessions highlighting best practices for preserving natural tracks. The philosophy is to promote safe enjoyment of off-road riding while being mindful of environmental impact and trail conservation.
