We accommodate various dietary needs. Just let us know your preferences when booking, and we’ll make sure to provide meals that cater to your requirements while still allowing you to savor local flavors.
Yes, we offer passenger riding options, except for some extreme rides. It’s a great way to enjoy the ride and take in the surroundings without the responsibility of handling a motorcycle yourself.
6-14 riders, plus crew. Our groups are not too big, allowing our guides to give personalized attention and share deeper insights about each destination along the way.
Because these are not off-the-shelf tours. Group size, logistics, seasonality, and rider configuration all affect cost. We prefer one honest conversation over a misleading number.
You don’t need to be an athlete. You do need basic stamina, balance, and the ability to ride for several hours a day. If you can ride all day, sleep well, and repeat the process with a smile, you’ll be fine.
Typically 4–7 hours of riding per day, broken into manageable sections with plenty of stops. This isn’t an endurance contest—we ride to enjoy the road, not to survive it.
Full riding gear is mandatory: helmet, jacket, gloves, pants, and boots. Proper protection isn’t optional in the mountains or the jungle. Style points are irrelevant; function wins.
Yes. Every expedition includes a support vehicle carrying luggage, spares, and backup support. It’s there for logistics—not to replace riding unless absolutely necessary.
Riders from their 30s to 60s, professionals, veterans, travelers, and people who prefer substance over hype. No posturing, no peacocking—just grown adults who like good roads and better stories.
Physically demanding, mentally humbling. The terrain isn’t extreme, but altitude changes everything. You’ll ride slower than you think, rest more than you expect, and feel proud of things that wouldn’t impress you at sea level.
Between 3,300 m and 5,500 m (10,800–18,000 ft). That’s high enough to make fit people feel unfit. Acclimatization days are built in for a reason. Ignore them and Ladakh will educate you—firmly.
Royal Enfield Himalayans—built for this exact job. Stable, forgiving, and perfectly suited for broken roads, gravel, water crossings, and thin air. This is not the place for oversized adventure bikes or ego.
We monitor riders daily, carry oxygen, enforce acclimatization, and adjust plans when needed. The goal is to finish the ride, not prove anything.
Mostly smooth tarmac, some broken patches, gravel, water crossings, construction zones, and sections that challenge your suspension and your patience. Speeds are low; scenery is unfair.
Days can be warm in the sun; nights can drop below freezing, especially near lakes and passes. Proper layering is essential.
Best available for the region. In Delhi: comfortable 4–5★ hotels. In Ladakh: clean, well-run 3★ resorts, guesthouses, and camps. Hot showers most days, character always.
All meals are included. Simple, hearty, and designed to keep you riding. Beverages are not included—hydration beats heroics.
Yes, and we handle all required Inner Line Permits. You handle your passport and patience.
Mostly dry, Ladakh is a high-altitude desert. But if they do, we reroute. Buffer days exist for exactly this reason. Ladakh doesn’t negotiate; experienced planning does.
Yes. Non-riders may travel in the support vehicle and experience Ladakh without riding, or self-drive an SUV where possible. Pricing is quoted separately.
People who dislike dust, delays, discomfort, altitude, or adapting plans. Ladakh rewards patience and humility—not entitlement.
Short answer: no. Longer answer: you don’t need to be a pro, but you must be comfortable riding daily on narrow mountain roads, mixed traffic, and unpredictable conditions. Confidence matters more than speed. If you panic when a chicken crosses the road, this may not be your calling.
Technically moderate, mentally engaging. Roads are tight, alive, and constantly changing. This is slow, thoughtful riding—not high-speed heroics.
Locally proven mid-weight adventure motorcycles—easy to handle, easy to fix, and well suited to Vietnam’s roads, like, Kawasaki 250 or similar. We choose function over ego.
Not dangerous—different. Vietnamese traffic runs on flow, awareness, and communication. We brief this thoroughly, and most riders adapt quickly.
Yes. North Vietnam is friendly and welcoming. The main risks are fatigue and overconfidence, both of which we actively manage.
Comfortable boutique hotels and high-quality local lodges with clean rooms and hot showers. 3-4★ hotels and resorts in cities like Hanoi and Sa Pa. This is an expedition, not a backpacker crawl.
All meals—breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Fresh, flavourful Vietnamese food. Beverages are not included.
The e-visa process is straightforward. We guide you, but obtaining the visa is your responsibility.
Yes. It must cover motorcycle riding and emergency evacuation. No exceptions.
Yes. Non-riders may travel in the support vehicle or self-drive an SUV where possible. Pricing is quoted separately.
We adapt routes and schedules to keep the experience intact and safe. We plan our tours in the months when weather is most suitable to ride.
Yes. This tour includes a very committing cliffside dirt-track section, so we vet experience before confirming. Expect a short call and a few questions about off-road time, mountain riding, and comfort with exposure
For this tour, yes. Not “I rode a bad patch once”—we mean repeated off-road riding where you’ve managed loose surfaces, broken tracks, and low-speed balance for long periods.
No. The Cliffhanger Core is rider-only. This is a control and handling requirement, not a preference.
No. This itinerary is guided and structured with pacing, grouping, and support. The Cliffhanger is not a “go-at-your-own-risk” segment.
Progress is slow and technical: narrow dirt track, loose stone, limited passing space, and repeated water crossings (including riding through runoff/waterfalls). The key demand is sustained focus and low-speed control, not high-speed skill.
Often very slow—think controlled, deliberate movement rather than “riding fast.” The goal is clean lines, stable balance, and composure.
Best available for the region. In Delhi: comfortable 4–5★ hotels. Simple, functional stays in the remote sections. Clean beds, basic comfort, practical locations—luxury is not always available where the road goes.
Yes. If exposure/heights cause freezing, panic, or over-braking, this route is not suitable. We’ll discuss this candidly during screening.
A well-maintained ADV / dual-sport / capable touring bike with good ground clearance, strong brakes, and appropriate tires. Reliability and control matter more than engine size.
We manage it proactively via screening, pacing, and riding order. On-route, we keep the group controlled and make real-time decisions to protect the rider and the group’s flow.
Most days are normal Himalayan touring: highways, towns, hill roads, and long riding hours. The two Cliffhanger days are the true filter; the rest is demanding mainly because it’s a full-spectrum route with cumulative fatigue.
Arrive fit enough for long saddle days, practice low-speed balance on loose surfaces, and be honest about exposure/heights. If you want, we can share a short pre-tour skills checklist we expect riders to be comfortable with.
Forts, palaces, old cities, desert landscapes, stepwells, lakes, and heritage towns are woven into daily ride plans.
Expect local food, folk traditions, historic landmarks, village interactions, and stays that reflect Rajasthan’s royal and desert heritage.
Yes. Select routes and stops showcase dunes, open desert highways, camel regions, and classic desert scenery.
The ride is scheduled in winter months with cool evenings and nights, and comfortably warm days—dry, clear, and not extreme.
Yes. Daily distances are planned to allow relaxed riding, photo stops, exploration, and downtime without rushing.
Mostly well-paved highways and scenic backroads, with occasional rough patches typical of rural Rajasthan, all manageable at a controlled pace.
Best available for the region. Comfortable 4–5★ hotels, premium havelis, heritage palaces.
Absolutely. Many women riders thrive on these tours because they reward awareness, balance, and judgment—not brute strength.
Yes. These are mature, mixed-gender groups with zero tolerance for posturing or nonsense. Ride skill matters—ego doesn’t.
No. We ride at a sensible pace and manage the group carefully. Speaking up is encouraged, not judged.
Clean, comfortable accommodation is standard. Single occupancy options are available on request.
Yes, and we plan accordingly—from rooming and transport to local cultural norms. Vietnam, Rajasthan, and Ladakh are generally respectful and welcoming.
Yes, all our rides have women-rider crew members.
We haven’t, as yet. However, we are ready to launch women-riders-only tours whenever we have a minimum number (at least 6) of women-riders for a tour.
Age is irrelevant. Attitude, experience, and self-awareness matter far more. Many of our strongest riders are in their 60s and even 70s.
Yes. All tours include buffer and rest days to manage fatigue and altitude or climate adaptation
No. We ride at a sensible pace and manage the group carefully. Speaking up is encouraged, not judged.
That’s normal. The support vehicle is always available. Smart riding includes knowing when to pause.
No. The pace is deliberate and sustainable. This is about finishing strong, not proving anything.
Possibly. Also possibly not. It doesn’t matter. The group is managed so everyone rides comfortably.
We have had a 78-year on two of our rides, in South India and Ladakh; a 70-year od couple in Vietnam; and a nuber of riders in their mid-60s.
