I found the riding easy, so would have liked a few more stops to look at the surrounding area. Some of the rock formations we drove by were stunning.
Is there a way of reducing the amount of plastic water bottles we got through? Maybe a filtration system?
Michelle was great with our preparation, Josh is an awesome tour guide. The bikes were not adequately prepared with regard to being properly run in and set up.
Do we get a VR Leh-Ladakh T-Shirt? You asked what size shirt we take or a commemorative VR Himalayan 2019 Tour sticker?
Also can I get a map that has Dharamsala - Leh -Manali. I am happy to purchase.
I wanted to stop and take more photographs. Traveling as a group i think you have to accept that you will not do everything you want to. I would like to travel in the same area by myself and be able to stop whenever I wanted for as long as I want.
Overall ok trip. One comment - I didn't fully realize it will be a french-speaking tour. The guide tried to include me in, however I missed out during instructions, left alone lunch conversations etc. This seriously damaged the overall experience. I think you should not let such situations happen and not let alone travelers like myself join french-speaking groups
Otherwise, great organization and customer service (e.g. with changed itinerary and flight out of Leh)
Some advanced information on social projects in areas Vintage ride operate would be useful and allow Vintage ride customers to become better involved if they choose
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.
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.
