Wow! What a trip. Once in a lifetime experience. Off road tastic!
Deepak was a great guide leading us to places I expect few others go to and adapted the tour well when some unforeseen hurdles were encountered (elections).
The accommodation and food were excellent.
Support team did a sterling job keeping us going - especially considering the beating the excellent Himalayan 450 bikes took.
Great fun - would definitely recommend.

This is my 2nd tour with motorbike exhibitions. This time round, we did Nepal with Deepak as our guide. It was everything I expected and more. We laughed from start to finish. The hotels we stayed at were all very clean and friendly, with great food. Deepak guided us through everything and joined in with our group like an old friend

I completed an expedition to Ladakh on September 11th 2025. Surya, Amit, Rahul, Ranta and the Motorbike expedition support team were first rate. They were technically competent and genuinely caring. We were a group of 11, mostly expats and didn’t want for much during the whole trip.Minor caveat: Many of us experienced altitude sickness to varying degrees during the early high elevation days. My advice is from the perspective of a non-medical professional: start taking prescribed altitude sickness tablets as per doctor’s directions, which is about a week before the expedition start date. The tablets are near useless once you begin experiencing symptoms. Make sure your vaccinations are up tp date to be on the safe side…this is all planning advice, nothing to do with the tour company. The company carry medical oxygen cylinders and meds to deal with this as well, they are prepared for this situation. There are ways to minimise the symptoms like staying hydrated, drinking ginger tea, eating potassium rich foods, etc. Plus, you eventually acclimatise to the altitude effects as well.Okay, that out of the way, you will experience a truly breathtaking range of views. The passes are really nice. There was snow on the peaks but no ice on the roads in early september. Surya sends a list of equipment that one should bring. Very useful for planning before flying. I was one of the few people that brought a tank bag. Far more useful than saddle bags.Bring a full rainsuit just in case, i was lucky and didn’t need it. There are several creek crossings. Opt for sealed riding boots to avoid wet feet. My Tech 7s got pretty smelly from residual wetting.On our trip was included a few culural visits, skilfully weaved through the rest periods. We visited a Sikh temple, a Buddhist temple, and had some fantastic encounters with locals, including a traditional dance ritual by a group of ladies. All these were trip highlights, for both the cultural aspect (vs westerners just storming through sacred land purely to maximise our schedule) as well as striking a good balance with riding vs resting. The trip is very much focused on riding without omitting India’s long and varied history. I was pleased with how well the company integrated some historical exposure with on and off road riding. The views are genuinely amazing. I was surprised every single day at what we saw. And the RE Himalayans were up to the task.The roads are well maintained (Seriously thanks BRO). There’s regular stops to rest and replenish every day. I highly recommend this company for a great experience in Ladakh.

Dear Browne-Lyons,Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed, honest, and thoughtful review. We truly appreciate your kind words about the team and your recognition of their professionalism, care, and technical competence throughout the expedition.We’re grateful that you also shared practical advice regarding altitude, preparation, and riding gear. As you rightly mentioned, altitude is a natural challenge in Ladakh and not something any operator can control—but being prepared makes a big difference. We’re glad our medical preparedness, oxygen support, and planning helped manage the situation safely for the group.It’s wonderful to hear that the balance between riding, rest, and cultural experiences stood out for you. Ladakh is not just about the roads and passes, but also about its people, traditions, and history, and we’re happy that this aspect added depth to your journey.Thank you once again for trusting Motorbike Expeditions and for your strong recommendation.It was a pleasure having you ride with us, and we hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure in the Himalayas.Warm regards,Surya ThakurMotorbike Expeditions
The 11 day expedition through the Himalayas was a bucket list item for me. I couldn’t have been more fortunate to end up with Amit’s team. Anything can happen on this adventure yet the crew were prepared, organized and highly adaptable to all situations. Leaving us only to focus and enjoy the ride. Would do it again and highly recommend. This was an extremely memorable experience.
Namaste,
meine 11tägige Expedition im November 2025 mit Motorbike Expedition nach Upper Mustang in Nepal war ein Traum. Mit den neuen Royal Enfield-Motorrädern (450 ccm) und dem Team rund um Surya hatten wir (4 Freunde aus Deutschland) ein Rundum-Sorglos-Paket bekommen. Die Tour war eine sehr gelungene Mischung aus Off-Road-Fahrten, phantastischen Landschaften im Himalaya mit der Aussicht auf 3 der 14 achttausender Berge in Nepal sowie die Begegnungen mit den BewohnerInnen dieser abgelegenen aber tief religiösen Region, die immer noch sehr geprägt ist vom tibet. Buddhismus. Die Route und die Mischung der Unterkünfte von einfach bis luxuriös waren sehr gut gewählt. Auch für die Wünsche unserer Gruppe war Motorbike Expedition offen. Wir sind auch durch die guten Anleitungen von Surya gut gefahren und unfallfrei zurück nach Kathmandu gekommen. Ein einmaliges Erlebnis!!! Für uns als über 60jährige Biker galt mal wieder: „Never too old for Adventure“. Motorbike Expedtion ist eine professionelle, seriöse und sehr sympathische Firma, die ich unbedingt weiter empfehlen kann.

Motorbiking touring to new heights
We thoroughly enjoyed the 11d Himalayan motorbike tour with Motorbike Expeditions. Great crew, very professionally organized, great bikes (RE Himalayan 450cc best), fantastic scenery and mountain riding. We especially enjoyed the support of being accompanied full time by an expert mechanic and photo-/video-grapher. Travel in this region can be complex and dynamic, but the crew adapted and communicated plans very well to endure all riders enjoyed the best possible outcome. Great value. I’d recommend this tour to all bikers up for the challenge.
