Monsoon vs. Heat in Asia
I am currently planning a motorbike trip across Asia with the Karakoram Highway and Northern India mountain areas driving my itinerary. This would mean riding through India and S.E. Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia) either during the hot spring or the monsoon season during the summer depending on which direction I decide to ride.
Which is more preferable to ride, the hot season or the monsoon? Does it rain all day during the monsoon in India and S.E. Asia, or just sporadic bursts throughout the day? In other words, how much riding per day could one do during the monsoon, when its not pouring rain? Could a traveler still get a good 6-8 hours of riding in per day?
Thanks for all the help!
