A great introduction to touring as my first visit to India, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh via motorcycle. More than satisfied yet wanting more, I'd been warned about getting hooked in by India, it's landscapes and people, I guess this trip succeeded in doing just that.

Gregory

The Trans-Himalayan

One of your groups led by Thomas had an old couple riding with him. The old lady had only had her licence for less than a month, she had no clue as to which side of the road to ride on and road recklessly by being too slow and cutting people off. She was a danger to herself and to other road users. I thought that you had to be an experienced bike rider to go on this trip. I feel Vintage Rides neglected there duty of care and unnecessarily put my life at risk by allowing an unsuitably qualified rider to be on this trip.

We were nearly stranded without any fuel at the end of the trip. I found it astounding we didn't have much more backup fuel than we did. Even if it meant having another backup vehicle, I would say it would be paramount in a region with such inconsistent access to fuel that we wouldn't have a large amount of reserves or caches around where we were traveling.

Cut the ride times down to 6 hrs a day on demanding tours so you can see more and rest up between days as most of us were in bed straight after dinner.

The Trans-Himalayan

Overall the trip was excellent. I joined because I wanted a proper adventure, I love seeing new places on the back of a motorbike, and I have wanted to visit the Himalayas for a long time. It delivered on all of these in a big way. The bike reliability comments are main negative that I would highlight, but I do realise that these bikes take a hammering on these trips, and the mechanic did a good job. There were just times where it felt like the bikes were adding to the difficulties at some of the toughest moments, and I know others had bigger problems that I did (front suspension failure being one that springs to mind).
