Testimonials

Victoria Seymour, La Rippe, Switzerland

This is a tour of pure emotion. Be prepared to pit yourself against the wind, the sun, the altitude and most especially yourself, to dig deep to support your team mates up and down the scenic trade roads. As always, this is a well prepared and executed non-technical route.

The Spiti to Ladakh ride is a physically demanding challenge but Raju and his team have, in my experience, assisted and encouraged each rider to achieve their objectives. This is my second trip with Raju and his team and I have thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. The whole team (guides, cook, drivers & camp attendants) have always make every effort to provide for the requirements of the rides with well timed energy stops, bike repairs, arranged camp facilities and tasty meals.

The landscape along the entire route is stunning but the isolation of the Spiti Valley was particularly attractive to me although road conditions were often challenging on both riders and bikes. Being prepared for the long, high climbs make the challenges achievable, even for an aging rider such as myself!

This is an iconic redspokes adventure trip that successfully "marries" the isolated splendor of the Spiti Valley with the high altitude challenge of the Manali - Leh route. For the serious cyclist this has it all from tough climbs to stunning downhills on every possible road surface !

This is my 2nd trip with Raj & the team and once again their support was fantastic while the food was some of the best I have had on any cycle tour. A must do adventure !

Peter Dilks, Christchurch, New Zealand

This was a really great trip, well organised and run. The scenery was stunning from begining to end and its a very different India compared with the densely populated lowlands - a lot more like Tibet.

Its not an easy trip; I'd rate it 10 out of 10 for organisation, the experience/scenery and also the effort required (due to the altitude). Highly recommended and a totally enjoyable 3 weeks that I won't forget.

Graham Crawford, Poznan, Poland

This trip is everything it shapes up to be and more. Truly something to give memories for a lifetime. It's hard, so the better you prepare, the more you enjoy it. I took six months making sure I was in the best condition of my life, and it really paid off. Raju and his team really look after you, the food is fantastic and plentiful.

This is a once in a lifetime holiday, a must on everyone's bucket list. I'm so glad I went.
