Andy

The Trans-Himalayan

This was the toughest trip I have ever done in my life, but glad I did it, however, the long hours riding on poor roads made it tiring and meant I didnt get to take in the views as much as I'd have liked. The weather was sometimes inclement and because the group was tired and wet, mistakes were made, increasing accident risks - not recommended in the locations we were at as it would be difficult to recover somebody to a hospital if necessary. It was a high risk trip

The Trans-Himalayan

The trip was superb, Some was a little more challenging than expected (Sach!!) but I wouldn’t change anything. It would have been nice if we had been given more info on what to expect accommodation wise and on the temperatures we would experience, especially when camping in tso Moriri and Sarchu,

Philip

The Trans-Himalayan

Perhaps consider using the Royal Enfield Himalayan for this trip as the terrain was a little rough for the old one. Also consider providing by email a comprehensive list of things people need to bring and why. If I was to do the trip again I would bring different kit.

To the Gateway of Tibet

I loved every bit of the trip, there was nothing to improve on and it was a great way to celebrate my 50th birthday. Thank you very much for making my trip one to remember, I'm still on a high from it (still putting videos of my trip on Instagram)

Kirsty

The Trans-Himalayan

There were times I felt unsafe and that the trip was too dangerous. I have never ridden offroad asides from the Vintage Rides trip I did 2 years ago in Mongolia. The Trans Himalayan was advertised as challenging, however I underestimated this and thought I would be okay. A more accurate description could perhaps read "offroad experience necessary" as I struggled between physically riding on very rough terrain,whilst simultaneously worrying about falling off cliffs and collisions wth other vehicles on the roads. One member in our group had a head on collision with a car and alsmost everyone fell off or had a crash at times. That being said this is not a complaint. By the end of the trip, I was much more confident and it actually improved my ability! The experience has only made me wish to do another Vintage Rides tour, but next time I will pick a more intermediate one! Thank you :)

On the Trail of Genghis Khan

Overall a wonderful adventure with lots of new experiences. Suggestions: - Provide itinerary in welcome pack or in advance - the trip differed from previous trip and French riders received new itinerary but English speaking did not. - Briefing each morning from tour leader before ride starts to explain route and show on a map as well as explain degree of difficulty
