Hi Moksha,
do you still offer women tours ?
The dates all show 2013 ?
Kind regards
Conni
Dear fellow biker – I would like to have some information about tours for women and tours in Himachal please.
Information like dates, prices & itinery.
I have looked at your website and I can’t tell whether it is up to date. I did a 6 day bike trip in Himachal in October this year: Amritsar, D’sala, Bir, Manali, Jalori Pass, Rishikesh, Delhi. On 500cc Enfield bullets. I had no problems with that. I am wondering whether that would be good enough for your tour, where you say off-roading experience is needed.
Thank you in advance, I look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes, Marion
I have received your mail and i will be getting back to you asap.
regards,
