MOTOCICLO is proud to announce the release of this multi award winning documentary Brief synopsis
This unique experience of a lonesome traveller, who rides Lola, his beloved Royal Enfield 350 Bullet motorcycle all the way from Mumbai to one of the most remote places in the World, the Changthang Plateau, in Ladakh, northern India and its border with Tibet.
Situated at an average altitude of 15,000 feet, Changthang covers almost 30,000 square kilometers of Ladakh, a land devoid of roads and with temperatures which dip to minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter. As a one-man film unit, he astonishes you, filming the landscape he passes by and the people he interacts with, capturing moments of beauty, pain, love, hardship, self doubt and spiritual triumphs.
As a city slicker, his interaction with the nomads of the region, the Chang pas, the world's highest human inhabitants, teaches him a new perspective on life, as does the religious fervour he encounters.
Riding Solo to the Top of the World, in essence, is a film about a journey that begins as an adventure and ends with the man, Gaurav Jani, seeking the person within.
The film is even more extraordinary for the fact that Jani was a one-man crew who loaded his 200 kg motorcycle with over 100 kgs of equipment/supplies and set off on a journey to one of the world's most difficult terrains.
