Steelbird Helmets Launches Falcon’s Ride To Umling La
Steelbird Helmets is organizing a motorcycle trip through the Himalayas.
The trip will start at the company’s plant in Baddi.
Twenty-five experienced riders from India have been selected.
They will travel through places such as Manali, Leh, Pangong and Hanle.
Their biggest goal is to reach Umling La, which is 19,024 feet high.
The riders will then travel back to Baddi.
The journey is planned to last 12 riding days.
Along the way, they will share stories, enjoy music and experience local culture.
Steelbird says the trip is about friendships and memories as much as reaching the destination.
