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.

Motorbike tours in India and in the Himalayas are really exciting and fun as long as it is done with a professional company like Extreme Bike Tours. They make sure that all the bikes are up to scratch and that you are well equipped for every possibility that can happen. They also supply all the cooks and other staff to make sure that everybody has a comfortable journey. Remember that this tour takes people over the roof of the world and you need to know what you are doing.

Motorbike Tours India, Himalayan motorbike tours and South India motorbike tours

The owners of Extreme Bike Tours have spent many years living in India and also have local staff to manage the motorbike tours. The knowledge that has been gained from over 30 years of riding Royal Enfield in India is obvious when on an Extreme motorbike Tour. The two owners often talk about some of the hilarious journeys they have been on searching for new areas to take people on tour. The routes that are now used on the motorbike tours are picked because they are safe and as clients only normally fly in for 16 days it is very important that nobody gets stuck between lets say two high altitude passes in the Himalayas.  Extreme Bike Tours has to pick tours that give clients the thrill of riding a 500cc Royal Enfield Bullet in India without anybody getting lost or injured. They do offer bespoke tours that go into more deserted parts of India and these are tremendous fun and safe but there is always a chance that a delay may happen due to a river getting to full power to cross due to ice melt.

The South India motorbike tours are much easier but due to the fact that the group has to ride through a couple of large cities there is every chance that somebody may get lost. Due to this Extreme Bike Tours only takes six, 500cc Royal Enfield’s, on any tour. This allows the tour to flow rather than stopping and starting all the time due to people getting lost or bikes needing to be retuned. Many other tour companies have ten or more bikes any a tour and this can course delays and no rhythm to the tour.

The staff and equipment that Extreme Bike Tours uses is the best in the business and also the friendliest. The tour guide and mechanic are the same on all tours, the two of them also happen to own the company, and the rest of the crew, depending on which part of India the tours are in are local to the area and are the same crew that have been doing the tours since Extreme Bike Tours started. This keeps continuity with the company and means that all the crew know how the business works and what is expected by the clients coming on tour.

The number one point on the tours is good fun and serious adventure. Everybody who comes on these tours is expected to have a good time and experience Incredible India for themselves. India is such a diverse country and the best way to experience it is on a motorbike. On a motorbike tour you still get full interaction with the locals and surroundings but also get the chance to travel massive distances without missing anything out.

For the adventure of a lifetime and something that you will remember and talk about for many years we highly recommend coming on a motorbike tour in India and for more information about these please have a look at www.extremebiketours.co.uk.
