Pillion Friendly?:
Yes (with difficulty in places)
What does this mean?
Pillion riders frequently join these trips. But please be aware, it is very important that the pilot is a highly experienced rider, on both paved and unpaved roads. Our support vehicle should never be far behind, so the pillion rider has the option to hop into the support vehicle for the more challenging sections if needed.
Terrain:
30% unpaved
What does this mean?
Approximately 70% of this route is paved, and 30% is unpaved. The paved roads can vary in condition, as can the unpaved roads. Some sections of the unpaved roads can be really quite rocky or sandy in places. The conditions in the Himalayas change every single year, so this percentage could be higher or lower for your trip.
Total Distance KM:
1185
What does this mean?
This is the total riding distance from start to finish. This is not exact, and the actual distance covered may be effected by conditions & road closures etc.
Support:
Fully supported and guided
What does this mean?
Our local guide will ride at the front of the group. Our tour leader, who is trained as a wilderness first response medic, rides at the back of the group (carrying a medical kit), our mechanic also rides at the back of the group, and we have a support vehicle travelling behind the group. The support vehicle carries all of your main luggage, spare parts, water, snacks and further med kit & stretcher etc. We also bring a spare rider with us too, ready to hop on your bike if you're ill, injured or struggling with the conditions. Back at base, we have a consulting expedition doctor, ready to assist and advise in the case of a medical emergency.
