Watch the whole 7 part series: Arriving in Dehli on a flight from Bangkok, we head off without much sleep to Lalli Singh’s Royal Enfield shop to pick up our bikes to start the “Escaping the Indian Himalayas” ride which will see us reach heights of over 4800mtrs, and watch my body fail in the process as we ride through north eastern India.
Many backpackers decide to rent motorcycles in Dehli or Manali to go to the Leh or Spitti Valley. What they do not usually know is that Spiti Valley and Ladakh is very beautiful, but it is not a walk in the park even for an experienced rider. Without a minimal experience it can get quite rough. Mountains have their own rules and there isn’t someone to come and rescue you close by when things go wrong.

Inspired by the film Long Way Round starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, I embark on a 14 day adventure from Ban Pong in Ratchaburi Thailand north Shangri-La in China via Laos. The return route saw over 5500k traveled on my Ducati Hyperstrada 821 motorcycle with a group of 25 other bikes and 2 support vehicles, including the necessary Chinese guide.
Temperates leaving Thailand started at 35deg, and at the coldest point in the trip saw it drop all the way down to -11 and in the snow at the top of Bluemoon Valley at an altitude of 4600mtrs.

The group I rode to China with gathered to celebrate the Chinese New Year in Chumphon Thailand. 3 days of riding in the mountains around the stunning beachside province. Riding all the way down there with issues in the rear brakes, essentially NO rear brakes for over 400km, not ideal.
