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.

I prepared for the trip with several ADV tours and organized rallies, which helped clarify my expectations. The trip exceeded my expectations. Very intense and challenging experience.

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.

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).

The only issue is possibly improving the quality of the bikes. They did not perform as well as the hired bikes out of Leh.

I really loved the trip! It was just a great advernture with good people in a marvellous scenery. I highly recommend this tour. But only as rider. I think for a Pilon this will be a pain in the ass ^^. But I cannot judge, is just my opinion. The only negativ point I have is the accident we had. I think someone with the riding experience of Alexander should not be allowed to go on such a tour. I discussed quite a while about joining or not, due I had no offroad experience. But I had ad least 15 years riding experience. Thats it. Keept going like this. I am looking forward to join another tour in the future. Greets Florian

I'm always up for a challenge and this ride really gave me one. Both physically and mentally. At times did feel a little rushed and there was more hours riding than we all anticipated. Maybe this tour needs another day or less miles. But at the end of the day all in all I really enjoyed it and glad I did it. Not ,many people can lay claim to riding these roads.
