A final night out in Leh followed by a thrilling flight south over the Himalayas, re-tracing the route we had ridden with incredible views of the mountains

And for those who think they might be interested in doing a ride like this with me and intrigued enough to find out more, send me a message, as we'll be running the same trip next year (August 2015)- sorry guys, it's going to be another women only ride, so pass this on to your other halves - and remember, some of my riders had never been off-road before this trip. Their feedback about the journey has been 100% positive. It's the adventure of a lifetime, a chance to ride some of the world's most stunning roads through landscapes we can only dream about.
