Trans Himalayan Safari

If you asked any adventurist or any explorer what where the highlights of their travels around the world they would probably give you a list of four or five places that they had been too. These would include places like the North Pole, The Amazon and one of them would have to be The Himalayas. The biggest mountain range in the world and some of most exciting landscapes that it is possible to see on this planet. How many people actually take some time out of their busy schedule and do something that they will remember for the rest of their lives? The answer of course is not many as they think about how little time they have to go on holiday a year and how are you supposed to see any of it in a couple of weeks?

One way to see this exceptional place is on a motorbike tour. The Trans Himalayan Safari is one of the most exciting motorbike trips in the world covering over 1,500 km over some of the highest motor able roads in the world reaching heights of 18,300 ft. Riding over every single type of terrain that it is possible to ride on from tarmac to high altitude desert. It is also incredible to see how many different people live in these places, Hindu temples and Buddhist Gompas can be found all along this tour and every valley seems to have a completely different feel, locals wearing different types of clothing, the huts or houses that also change completely from one valley to another. The world that you come from is literally completely forgotten, all that stress left behind giving you time to relax and get lost in this different world.

The ultimate way to do this tour is with one of the expert tour companies that organize these tours. They supply you with everything that is needed to travel over these high altitude passes and make sure that you acclimatize properly to avoid getting altitude sickness. They also supply support vehicles, mechanics, camping equipment, 500cc Royal Enfield motorbike and also a qualified first aider in the unlikely event that something should go wrong.

The motorbikes that are used on these tours are 500cc Royal Enfield Bullets. Although they are technically classic bikes they are really built for the job due to the lack of oxygen and spare parts. They are also easy to fix if they wrong so that nobody has to wait or get stuck on top of a high altitude pass.
