Planning Your Tour - When to ride and Where
When to Ride and Where
A basic ‘Rule of Thumb’ as to 'Where to Ride and When' is, as winter approaches, we ride south.

During  Winter it is too cold to ride in the high mountains and high passes will be covered with snow. We ride through western, central and down to southern India.

From the beginning of Spring we ride across Nepal and through Bhutan. There are two rainy seasons in Sri Lanka, as Spring approaches and the rain has finished; early Spring is the best season to ride in Sri Lanka. In the late Spring we can reach Lhasa.

During the Monsoon, we cross the southern ranges of the Himalayas and enjoy the warm dry weather where the Ladakh Plateau is shadowed from the Monsoon rain. This is the time to ride to through Spiti, into Ladakh and west to Zanskar and Kashmir.

In the Summer, when the rainy season has finished across the sub-continent riding conditions are nice from the mid-Himalayan Ranges – Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh and across the north east of India through Bhutan and Tibet, are all accessible regions.

In Autumn we ride in Nepal and western and central India.

And again, as Winter approaches we head south, through central and western India to the south.
