Hero Karizma ZMR Wanderers is an ongoing monthly online contest. All participants are asked to answer some very simple questions and at the end of the contest every month, three winners are chosen. These lucky bike enthusiasts win an all-expenses-paid 2N/3D ride on three Hero Karizma ZMRs. Rides are planned well in advance and cover several beautiful locations across the country. Those interested in participating can enter the contest on Autocar India’s and Hero MotoCorp’s facebook pages. The contest and rides are organised and conducted by Autocar India and Hero MotoCorp.

There’s no road for the last 5km to the top of Jalori Pass. The muddy trail has always been littered with rocks and works as a perfect spot to check how the Hero Karizma ZMRs will perform when they’re deep within the Himalayas. After a couple of rides in Sikkim, the Wanderers were now in Himachal Pradesh. The passes were open and the time to wander in this magnificent state could not have been better.

Mountain biking

After picking up the bikes from Chandigarh, our Wanderers, Prakhar Rastogi, Ejaz Takey, Yajnadutt Bhutia along with Autocar’s Vir Nakai headed off to Shimla. The two-lane road with its sweeeping curves and smooth tarmac, when the traffic is light, is a biker’s delight. The Wanderers were riding on long, winding stretches through a dense pine forest. The air was cool and fresh. The open road, perfect.

The call of the mountains
