We only offer this tour on the Royal Enfield Himalayan. The travel enduro is perfect for the terrain.

Q: How difficult are the gravel roads?

These are the most demanding gravel roads from our entire program, only comparable to Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan during our Overland tour from Munich to Lhasa. If you have little or no experience, you should book a different and less challenging tour first, for example our "3 Lakes of Ladakh" tour, which is also very popular.

Q: Is the tour suitable for passengers?

The tour is generally not or only poorly suited for passengers, as many stages can only be driven alone. Most of the time, the passenger would have to sit in the escort vehicle.
