OUR STORY
In August 2012, during a motorcycle ride in Ladakh with like-minded friends, a powerful realization emerged. Poor route guidance and lack of reliable high-altitude information made the journey unnecessarily risky and stressful.
"What if Himalayan motorcycle expeditions were professionally guided, responsibly structured, and safety-first — without losing the spirit of adventure?"
Then a motorcycle group was born - "Himalayan Monk Riders Association"
On June 6, 2013, HMRA Pvt. Ltd. was officially founded in New Delhi registering as a private limited company with government of India by four long-distance riders :
- ✓ Sharad Tyagi
- ✓ Sutirtha Sanyal
- ✓ Deepak Gaba
- ✓ Navdeep Dahiya
Their mission was clear: To organize professionally guided motorcycle expeditions in high-altitude Himalayan regions with unmatched safety standards.
