The annual Taktsang Trail Ride has been flagged off by Jawa-Yezdi Motorcycles from Dimapur with 14 riders riding across North-Eastern states. During the ride, the Jawa and Yezdi Nomads will cover around 1,000kms on Jawa & Yezdi motorcycles, riding through the unexplored corners of the North East. The ride will also traverse through Dimapur, Jorhat, Itanagar, Tezpur, and Guwahati, where the company has already established a strong presence with its dealership and service network. Through the course of this ride, the Nomads will also be accompanied by riders from the Indian Army in the region and will offer homage to the bravery of the armed forces. The participants will meet the Chief Minister of Arunachal Pradesh, Mr. Pema Khandu and GOC – 5 Mountain Division, who will flag off the Nomads from the Tenga section of the ride. The riders will cover places like Khonoma, Dimapur, Itanagar, Jorhat, and Tezpur before culminating the ride in Guwahati. The ride started from Khonoma (Asia’s first green village), reaching Dimapur, at the site of the upcoming Jawa-Yezdi’s flagship store in Nagaland.
Post-Dimapur, the riders will arrive at Nemati Ghats on the mighty Brahmaputra River banks. The ride from Nemati to Itanagar, covering Majuli, North Lakhimkur, and Nirjuli, will see the Nomads passing through the lush green fields of Assam. Post Itanagar, in the Nameri National Forest reserve and Pakke Tiger reserve, the riders will be passing through the home of not just the tiger but elephants, rare species of birds and fish in the Jia Bharali River.
