Sorry no enquiry has come from 'Yamahu' so that does not help me much.

Honestly we get 3 or 4 enquiries for bookings a day so we tend to get a little clinical but keep giving out the info to answer all of the questions so that the enquirer is pretty happy to go ahead.

Sometimes we have declined to supply bikes to those that we feel are not capable of functioning in rarified air, handle a 245 kg loaded bike pushing through deep mud and icy rivers.

We have had big tough looking Belgium and Germans trundle off up into those small hills and valley's called the Himalayan range and call us asking for trucks to collect their bikes and gear cause they are just to exhausted from the tough riding. A few experienced endurance BMW and KTM riders taking the Enfield's up and coming back saying that the trip was the toughest that they have meet. And a few Aussie lady back country riders, exhausted but exhilarated with the whole diversity, so it takes all sorts and gives back to all sorts.

This region, well a small section of it is renowned for thinnest air in the world, the highest level of altitude sickness in a small geographical area. This thin air is what makes it very much more difficult a ride on many people. Also we know of serious health incidents and deaths amongst travellers that just should not be going up there.

Bottom line is that those that think that this region is tame, don't know nothing and one thing is for sure, it is a heavy endurance region that has seriously high risk of injury and illness along with it.
