Testimonials

“The crew and the trip was wicked, it was a great adventure with a shit load of laughs and heaps of beer, the mechanics did a great job at maintaining the bikes. We brought Frisbees and gave them to the kids in the villages and they loved them. The best part was the adventure, near death experiences, the crew and the culture, once in a life time experience and is a must do adventure”.

“I would recommend Himalayan Heroes to anyone that is looking for an adventure on two wheels. The don’t so much as offer vacations, as they offer life changing experiences.
From the second that we put our deposit down on the website for our trip, Rex was in constant communication with us via email. He sent us FAQs, recommendations for insurance, and shoes, and every minuscule question we had, he always answered and never got frustrated because it was already written on the website. He called us on the phone when our trip itinerary had to change due to border closures, and we felt overly taken care of.
We had a Himalayan Heroes representative travelling with us, and he was the most approachable fun loving human on the planet.
We’ve already mentally signed up for two other adventures because this is one of the best times we’ve ever had in our lives”.

“The perfect trip to put your riding skills to the test while experiencing a different culture! I will definitely be attending another trip in the near future!”

“A totally mind blowing, eye opening adventure in a country I would otherwise never visit. The leader and the mechanical crew were absolutely outstanding and kept the ride moving beautifully. The country, the landscape, the roads, the people……Wow !”

“I went into this trip thinking it would be incredible to see the Himalayas while riding a motorcycle, but it truly surpassed any expectations I had! Every day had some kind of shock and awe! I’d suggest to anyone that enjoys motorcycle and loves life to get with you guys and do a tour. Thanks for putting this together for us to enjoy”.

“I loved the group, loved bonding with the guys, loved the mix of people, the roads, the riding, you Buddhi and Viv were great. This was an opportunity to ride in remote places with a really capable support crew and most people would not attempt this on their own and without that support.
Food was great and the scenery spectacular. I liked the relaxed feel of the group, led by Rex. The Yeti suit kept me laughing even when I was feeling pretty ordinary from altitude. I also loved the opportunity to do some faster riding with Rex and Buddhi on the sections that they felt it was appropriate. Exploring the back roads of northern India was quite something and certainly an unforgettable experience!”

“The thing that makes this trip so fantastic is the scenery, the like minded people you ride with and the sometimes surreal nature of what’s going on around you. The real heroes of this trip are you for doing it, the skills of the back up mechanics, the knowledge of main guide Buddhi and of course the motorcycles.
Where these bikes don’t make sense in the first world, they make perfect sense on the rugged and beautiful roads in India. I’d been wanting to do this trip for a long time and had high expectations with the emotions I wanted to experience when doing this adventure. Himalayan Heroes surpassed my expectations and then some. Handy Hint: Diamox is a must.”

“There is almost nothing that can be said or written that will communicate this adventure accurately. The contrasts are extreme, the conditions are extreme and my enjoyment of the trip was extreme. Having everything organised means I could relax and concentrate on the riding and the beauty of this amazing country.
If I had had to navigate, deal with mechanical issues or even negotiate to buy petrol, the whole trip would have been stressful. Instead, I felt relaxed – yet exhilarated the whole time. The only negative is having to leave – the entire team are totally professional, funny and an absolute joy to be around. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime – this is it”.

“Being a city boy all my life, Himalayan Heroes took me out of my comfort zone and brought me on a trip of a lifetime. Did I expect at all what the trip would bring, no. Would I have done it differently? No. The people and crew that I met on this trip has been nothing short of amazing and professional. ”

“This trip was without doubt the best two weeks of my life. I’ve never had this much fun ever. I can’t imagine anything better than what I’ve just done”

It’s been an absolutely fantastic life experience, I’ve really enjoyed it”

“It was my first time in India, so everything was going to be new, and I had a blast.
We had almost every kind of personality in the group, except for any unlikable types, so it made for easy travelling and lots of laughs.
Buddhi, our guide was a super chilled character and a very calming influence for the group, and was a confidence builder, taking care of every little hurdle that presented itself with calmness and efficiency.
The variation in our overnight accommodations was perfect, from funky hotels to organized tent camping in superb locations, to the last night when we were treated to elegant 5 star accommodations back in Delhi.
I can’t recommend doing this trip with these guys strongly enough. It was fantastic.
Part of the charm lay in the bikes, solid old technology Royal Enfields. Part of that charm was that they were never designed to take the punishment we put them through and being far from anything you could call modern it was a real accomplishment to coax them from start to finish. And while I personally never had any issues with my bike, the rare occasion one acted up or got a flat, the wonderful support mechanics were there to keep things moving.
We were lucky to have perfect weather every single day, which made life even easier, and while we never saw anything particularly challenging it would be advisable for anyone contemplating such a trip to have at least a couple of years of trail/dirt/desert riding under their belts. It’s no Red Bull Last Man Standing event, but it’s also no walk in the park.
Go have a great time with these guys.”
