Comments: 

There were a lot of companies in Nepal willing to fly my bike, but I chose to use Das. Although I had no problems with Das, my bike did go missing in Bangkok. Still to date I do not know how or why but the same thing has since happened to a friend. Both bikes were recovered without a problem or extra cost only the worry for a week as to the whereabouts of my bike. As bad as this was I don't hold Das responsible. It seems part of a scam with the Bangkok connecting flight. But be warned.

Also at this time in Nepal there were bombs going off! The bike had to be crated for the flight this was done in a morning by Das workers all for 75us and hand made with string to hold the bike in the crate!

Once the bike was in Oz I got an agent to do all the paperwork as Oz is very strict with it's quarantine etc.
