Three men on motorcycles

The Amigos ride to Ladakh

By: Ketan Joshi

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

‘Let's go for a ride ... To the HIGHEST road in the Himalayas!’
It’s just the three of them - and it's their first time in the mountains... But hey - what could possibly go wrong?

Three amiable and generously-proportioned Amigos ride from the flat plains of Punjab over ancient silk-route roads all the way up to the forbidding Himalayan desert of Ladakh, where not even a blade of grass can grow!

Snow-covered mountains, broken roads, flooded rivers, landslides, scamsters, explosive diarrhoea… The Amigos take it all in stride and have the time of their lives.

They are mounted on their Royal Enfield thumpers - the temperamental warhorse of Indian roads - and are guided and egged on and nagged by SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED - the Travel Goddess Supreme! Defy her at your peril!

A unique exploration of India - by Indians!

Get a real taste of India, with crisp and flavoursome sides of history, culture, traditions - and a lot of fun anecdotes and stories.

Reviews :
‘Both inspirational and insanely funny at the same time - I cannot imagine how the author managed to do this but this is the first book that made me laugh so hard and then inspired me to do something that is entirely out of my character. If you love travelling then just trust me and go for this.’

‘Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious! When you start feeling sad as the Ladakh Ride of the Amigos in the book is coming to an end, then there can be no better travelogue for Ladakh, and for a Bike Ride, and for a relaxed trip, and for a fantastically modified vocabulary, and for a ride with friends as mad as you are. Finished the reading in one sitting and now hopping on to the next ride experience. I swear, it was a treat reading this.’

‘He's easily one of the most gifted authors in India. If there's any Indian author that you like and you pick up Ketan Joshi's book, he'll kick out your favourite author by a mile! He's absolutely amazing!’

‘Hats off to Ketan! One of the greatest Indian authors IMO! I pray that he keeps on writing book after book! He's the PG Wodehouse of India.’

‘One of the most incredible books that I've read...This is one of those books that you can read over and over again and it'll take you to a different world where you can travel with The Amigos’
