How it works
Every seat on this expedition is confirmed through a deliberate process. We are not selling a product. We are selecting a group. That distinction matters to the people who join us.
Submit your application. A few questions about your riding background and what draws you to this expedition.
Every application is read personally. We look for experience, mindset, and genuine fit with the group we are building.
Strong candidates are invited to a short conversation. A chance for both sides to ask questions and confirm this is right.
If accepted, a $995 deposit secures your seat. Balance due July 5th, 2026. Waiver pack completed within 48 hours.

Common questions
-
You should be a confident, experienced motorcyclist with prior experience on mixed or challenging terrain. Long days, variable road surfaces, and remote conditions at altitude require a rider who is capable and comfortable.
This is not a beginners' trip.
-
Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, 2023 or 2024 model, fully serviced to European standard before departure.
-
Altitude is a real part of the experience, and it’s something we take seriously in the overall design of the journey. Route flow, acclimatisation, and pacing are planned with that in mind, so the expedition builds into the altitude rather than rushing straight into it.
In practice, riders are moving through the landscape rather than spending extended periods exerting themselves at maximum elevation, and overnight stops are structured to support a more manageable rhythm. As with any high-altitude environment, individual responses vary, but the journey is designed with that reality in mind.

-
Yes. You must bring your own certified riding helmet. Only standard Indian helmets are available locally. This is non-negotiable and confirmed in your pre-departure pack.
-
Passes close. Weather shapes the road. Every departure includes two contingency days built specifically for this. Routes are adapted in real time by Saleem's team, who have eighteen years of experience on these roads. We never guarantee specific passes.
-
Travel and medical insurance is mandatory for all riders. Your policy must cover motorcycle riding and include emergency medical evacuation. This is confirmed before your seat is locked.
There are a few known providers to choose from for a trip like this.
Note- You will need a motorbike licence from your home country to be insured properly -
No. Applying starts the conversation. It does not lock you in to anything. A deposit is what secures your seat and that only happens after acceptance.
