Himalayan HIGH ROAD CHALLENGE- LADAKH INDIA
Gday there Motorcycle Adventure Riders.

Looking for willing participants, for an experience that will never been forgotten. I am starting up a new motorbike tour company called World On Wheels, and am looking for up to 10 people who would like to be guided on some of the most amazing roads in the world. The tour will last 21 days, and takes you through Northern India, into Ladakh on the highest motorable roads in the world.

Their would be no fees to you. You would pay your own way, all the way. I will guide you, as I have had many years experience in the region. All that I ask is that we can take some photo's of you for our brochure and website. We figure this is a good way to start for us, mainly to get feedback from you.
As I said before their would be no fees for you, and I have all the contacts to ensure that you have everything available to you for a cheap price.
My names Brett, and I'm from Tasmania, and my partner is Svieta, and she is from Russia.
So, what you think....
Would love to hear from you.....

ladakh trip
Hi Brett
this sounds interesting, have you any thought on dates.
It sounds like you know the area, and have you done this sort of trip before.
I might be interested if the wife and work permits.

Hi Brett
I may be interested but do we use your bike or our own if not yours it may be a bit to much as plane will make it out of reach but if your bike ( what type) I think I could afford it, look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers

Cheers for the responses....

We are looking at end of June/ early July 2010.

We will be using new Royal Enfield bikes. You have a choice between a standard 350cc Bullet, a juiced up 350cc Thunderbird or the popular 500cc Bullet. Personally I ride the 350cc Thunderbird, they seem to do the job easily, and are more reliable than the others ( In my opinion ).

On the Southern Asian Hubb I have posted an idea of costs, and a planned itinerary.

I hope all the info helps, but please don't hesitate to ask me any questions.

Brett

hmmmm...sounds interesting. Can you advise in advance the cost for a 500 Bullit or 350 Thunderbolt? Would help me decide. I should be back from other travels in South America by time of your departure.

Regards,
Larry

Gday Larry,

To rent the bike for a day cost's between 600-900 Indian rs for either of the 2. Hope that helps. Just send me an email to wow_in_india@yahoo.com to confirm your place.

Thanks to all of you who replied to my original post.

Their are a few of you who have not confirmed with me on wow_in_india@yahoo.com. Please do this as I find it alot easier to correspond with you. For those of you who have confirmed, as you are aware I will be sending you further information over the next for weeks.

So far we have what looks like an amazing bunch of adventure riders who have shown interest which will just enhance what is sure to be "the trip of many lifetimes".

I look forward to meeting you all...

Regards
Brett
