Your motorcycle expert
Johann
Our fashion-icon tour leader has two long-standing passions: photography and The Bullet. But above all, he’s in love with India.
On the agenda
This Himalaya motorbike tour plunges you into a world of dizzying peaks, remote valleys and high-altitude deserts, where every bend brings its share of thrills. Cross some of the highest mountain passes in the world, ride along glacial rivers and take in landscapes of unmatched wild beauty. Along the way, soak up Tibetan Buddhist traditions and meet local people in monasteries and villages hidden deep in the mountains. An extraordinary adventure that combines adrenaline, cultural discovery and breathtaking scenery.
The Trans-Himalayan

This raid is designed for experienced riders and features long stages at high altitudes, including passes over 4,500 meters, often far from immediate medical assistance. Primary aid in reaching the nearest medical center is provided by our support vehicle, as helicopters and ambulances are rarely available. Limited phone coverage and restrictions on satellite phones can make contacting emergency services challenging. Additionally, as with any mountain route, road quality and difficulty are heavily influenced by current and prior weather conditions
