点评:Just finished the ‘Into Thin Air’ tour with motorcycle expeditions, it was an amazing experience, with tremendous mountains that tower down on you making you feel so small in a vast area. The tour changed from drizzle in Shimla to baking hot sunshine just a few hours later. The roads change from tarmac to gravel from open roads to winding switch backs to keep you guessing what’s round the corner. Ali our guide did an amazing job keeping us all together. I wasn’t that fast but he was always in sight which was a comforting feeling. We stopped for photo opportunities and to let the support driver, Taju to catch us up. He was never far behind. Abaaz our mechanic, did so much, reminding me my stand was down, dishing out water at every stop repairing punctures on the side of the road, it was great to have him along. Do get some off road training before taking on this challenge. Altitude was never a problem just short of breath sometimes. The houseboat was a great setting although the heat and midges were a real pain which forced us to change to another hotel nearer to the airport for the last night.
Thanks to Ali and his team for making this a truly wonderful experience.

感谢阿里和他的团队,让这次体验如此美妙。
