Answers

01. You are not a member of ABTA. How safe is my deposit?

For a small company like us joining ABTA is prohibitively expensive. However, European Law governing holidays dictates that any monies paid to us must be protected. All monies we receive from you are paid into a trust account and only passed to us on completion of the trip.

02. What is the standard of accommodation?

This seems to be area most people are concerned about. Hotels at the beginning and end of the trip are wonderful. In the middle of the trip for three nights the standard drops to something similar to a European two star. Each hotel has been personally selected and all are clean and comfortable.Wherever possible I have chosen the best available.

03. How do we get there?

We do not organise flights for you but will give you plenty of help and advice with booking the right flight and, once you arrive we’ll collect you from the airport.

04. How hard will the map reading be?

You do not need to be an experienced rally navigator. Detailed route maps and city plans will be provided to make the map reading as easy as possible.

06. How tough will the riding be?

This is not an enduro event. However, in order to ride a bike all day, in a strange country, in warm weather, you do need to be fit and healthy. The roads vary from beautiful smooth blacktop to fairly appalling. Our trips are not competitive and cover comparatively low mileage each day. Most days start early to avoid the necessity of riding at night and there will be plenty of time built into each day for ample stops as well as a leisurely lunch stop. Most days finish between 4 & 5 o’clock.

07. Insurance?

The bikes are all fully comprehensively insured with a US $750 excess.

08. What are the bikes like?

We use 500cc Enfield Bulletts. They’re kick start with the gear change on the right. They’re easy to ride, very tough and ideally suited to the road conditions.

09. What is the food like?

The food on the Himalayan trip changes as we travel further north. Initially it’s Indian but soon takes on a distinctyly Chinese origin as we get closer to the Chinese border. Breakfast each day will be European with toast, porridge, cereals and eggs. Lunches are snacks and picnics and dinner each evening will be a buffet style of local delicacies. None of the food is heavily spiced.

10. What if i want to stay longer?

No problem. We’ll help you with advice and tips and can even book hotels for you if you plan on staying on extra days.
