How is the climate in Himalayas?

What kind of clothes should I wear in Himalayas ?

Beside protective clothing such as pants, boots and jackets for when riding, in general you can wear shorts and light t-shirts. It is also recommended to bring a sweater or two, alongside with some long pants for when staying at higher altitude. Waterproof jacket is also recommended as some days might be rainy.

 

Do I risk to get altitude illness Ladakh (Himalayan Tour)?

As we always say, we are not doctors so we strongly recommend that you consult your physician of trust and ensure that you are physically fit for such an experience. Said so, the expedition starts at lower altitudes and gradually takes us high up to 5000+ mt to help acclimatize. The main player inducing altitude sickness is the lack of oxygen, for this reason we also carry portable oxygen cylinders in the support vehicle for any eventuality.

 

What is the group size?

The minimum number of riders required for tours in India is 8. The maximum number of riders per group is 10.

 

Touring in the Support Vehicle

Partners, family members or friends of riders can also join and travel in the support vehicle at Pillion price.

 

Do I have to pay separately for the domestic flights?

No, all the domestic flight fares are included in the total price of the tour.
