More information about the trip
Experience the scenic romantic fall season at the incomparable, impressive Himalayan landscapes. A feast for the eyes and a bonanza for your camera. Parts of the tour highlights include a glimpse into old cultures, living history and stays in historic palace hotels at several locations. This tour does not encompass the deserted high mountainous region of the Greater Himalaya range. Throughout, the biker remains under 4000 m, within the green foothills of the mighty mountains (…although even here, some valleys are over 3000 m high, with surrounding mountain peaks of over 6000 m).
          Expect an adventure at every corner of the winding roads. While soaking in the golden weather of the Himalayas, cross the Jalorie pass to climb up to the Sangla valley and the Rohtang pass, with 3,980 meters, the highest point on this tour. This tour is adjusted for dry, cool fall weather, with more overnight stays at hotels and no camping above 3,000 meters. A tour for everyone who loves adventures, motorbikes and trekking, but with less strain. Also ideal for less skilled bikers. We guarantee extreme motorcycling joy on quiet high mountain roads and tracks, lovely nights at the campfire and a little bit splendor of the colonial era. The accommodation ranges from tent camps to luxury hotels. The tour is also feasible with pillion riders, except for some passes, where it is indeed recommended that passengers change to the accompanying jeep.

Itinery:

         Since the character of our Bike and Jeep Tours is similar to expeditions, only the outer frame of the itinerary, that is, the dates of arrival and departure, can be exactly fixed. Due to our concept of touring with our own road and camp crew, we are almost independent and largely flexible, prepared to manage unpredictable storms, landslides and other natural calamities, which can force us to change our itineraries often.
