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 :)

The Trans-Himalayan

I was surprised by the road quality, I would have classified many of those passes as tracks, not roads. Also some of the suggested clothing etc. was imho not really very accurate/detailed enough. Perhaps it should be made clearer that the particular trip we went on is 'difficult' or something similar, in order to adjust peoples expectations a bit.

The Trans-Himalayan

It was a fabulous trip. Whilst I was pretty well prepared, I think there could be more emphasis on the website and email briefings on the need to provide for wet and cold conditions. Some of the party were not as well prepared. Also, I asked in advance whether the hotel in Leh could do laundry. I was advised not. Actually, they did. This could have cut down on my packing had I known.
