Normally, you should wear waterproof riding gear, riding boots, riding gloves along with a helmet. But if you do not have riding gear, wear clothing that will give you some protection in the unlikely event of a spill. As a minimum, you should wear the following: Footwear that protects your feet and your ankles (hiking boots are good). Durable pants-leather is best; but you can make do with jeans, work pants, or something similar. An abrasion resistant jacket that zips or buttons up close to the neck. For the Ladakh tour, you would also need a pair of thermal inner wear to combat the cold. Please make sure your riding gear is waterproof or you have a separate rain gear. You should also pack nightwear and casual clothing and footwear for your time away from the motorcycle

We recommend everyone who signs up for our tours to have atleast a one-year motorcycle riding experience and some experience of riding in off road conditions. You must bear in mind that all roads routes throughout the Himalayas are constantly subject to small landslides and water damage during the heavy monsoon rain months that usually occur from June to September. While off road riding experience is not mandatory, it can be very helpful to navigate these sorts of occasional rough road sections on anyone of our  given Himalayan tour routes.  You are advised to get comfortable on a 500cc motorbike if you are to take a tour with us. We reserve the right to terminate any participants’ ride if his riding skills are not up to the mark for the intended tour. Please feel free to email us to discuss riding skills and specific tour route conditions and requirements in more detail

Every Organized tour has a BRM Expeditions mechanic along who does the necessary repair and maintenance work on the bikes daily. Hence breakdowns are extremely rare. If any Parts need to be changed, the mechanic shall notify you and the cost of the part is charged to you. In Case of a break down so severe that the bike is rendered incompetent, BRM Expedition team takes a decision based on feasibility, of either supplying you a new bike or making alternate travel arrangement for you.

You would be served Indian/English Breakfast and A vegetarian Buffet Dinner at the hotels /Camps. The lunches are excluded from the pricing as we are mostly on the road and you can individually decide and pay  for what you eat.
