Royal Enfield Classic 350 Touring Review | Astral Ride | Is it as good as a RE Himalayan in Ladakh?

When the good folks at Royal Enfield invited us for the 2021 Astral Ride, we sent ZigWheels' main man Kartikeya Singhee to brush up on not just his rough road riding skills, but also to pick up a new talent for astral photography. While the Royal Enfield Himalayan would have been the first choice for a Ladakh trip, we wanted to mix things up a bit and chose the new Royal Enfield Classic 350 instead to see for ourselves how this new motorcycle handled a proper touring assignment. It was going to be an interesting trip indeed and both man and machine were put through their own tests. Watch the video to find out how the Classic 350 handled this gruelling Ladakh tour and how Kartikeya handled being mentored by Navaneet Unnikrishnan to click some stunning photographs of a starry night sky in Hanle!
