Royal Enfield to host second edition of ‘Journeying Across the Himalayas’ in December 2025

Royal Enfield Social Mission is set to unveil the second chapter of Journeying Across the Himalayas, its annual cultural showcase and sustainability-driven initiative that pays homage to the majestic Himalayan region—the spiritual cradle of the Royal Enfield marque.

Scheduled from 4 to 10 December 2025, this much-anticipated edition will take place at Travancore Palace, New Delhi. Over the course of eight days, the venue will be transformed into a vibrant confluence of exhibitions, performances, dialogues, culinary explorations, and community-led engagements, all crafted to reflect the multifaceted identity of the Himalayas.

Under the curatorial theme “Ours to Tell”, the 2025 edition delves into the Himalayas not merely as a geographical entity, but as a living repository of stories, memory, and tradition. Through meaningful collaborations with Himalayan communities, the festival aspires to explore and elevate indigenous narratives—spanning oral traditions, language, conservation, circular practices, culinary heritage, visual arts, and material culture.

Far more than a cultural event, Journeying Across the Himalayas stands as Royal Enfield’s statement of intent: a long-term commitment to responsible exploration and sustainable partnership with the mountain communities that have long informed its ethos and identity.

“We made a strong beginning with our debut edition last year. Encouraged by the audience’s response, we are excited to announce the second edition of our festival, Journeying Across the Himalayas. Building on that experience, and with the curatorial theme ‘Ours to Tell’, this year we bring together more communities—their voices, and their stories—at the intersection of culture, craft, and collaboration. Over eight days, the festival will serve as a living network of artisans, entrepreneurs, collaborators, mentors, and supporters. Beyond celebrating Royal Enfield’s deep-rooted connection with the Himalayas, it reflects our long-term commitment to partner with 100 Himalayan communities,” remarked Bidisha Dey, Executive Director of Eicher Group Foundation, the CSR arm of Royal Enfield.

Conceived as an annual tradition, the festival offers a forward-looking framework for engaging with the Himalayas—both culturally and environmentally. It also reinforces Royal Enfield’s enduring legacy as a brand synonymous with exploration, community, and reverence for the landscapes it traverses.

This year’s edition is expected to draw greater participation from across the Himalayan belt, inviting both local and global audiences to engage with the region through the lenses of art, ecology, and lived experience.

In a world increasingly removed from its roots, Journeying Across the Himalayas provides not only a celebration of culture, but also a call to protect it—through awareness, dialogue, and shared stewardship.
