A Himalayan Roadtrip

Something a little different - Not recommended for the ST in some sections though. Based on the towns mentioned in the description this looks like the route http://goo.gl/maps/hY8ZF9LkZ9t with the last section having a few bends (need to scroll in) from Leh

I acknowledge the Bindal and Wulgurukaba traditional custodians of this Australian land that I work, live and play on, and pay my respect to their cultures, their ancestors and to the elders, past, present and all future generations.

I did this trip a few years ago and it was by far the most dangerous ride I have ever been on. Would I do it again , no , am I happy I did it yes, it was a life changing trip.
I did it on an Enfield 500 kick start with a number of other terrified riders over 4 weeks. India is amazing, all you have to do is leave your western values behind and just accept what you experience and see.
Its not for the faint hearted, but for pure adrenaline and adventure it would be hard to beat.
