Documenting a motorbike adventure in the Himalayas

I love motorbiking. I have recently returned from the Himalayas where I was documenting a 1400km journey made by over 30 people on 350cc Royal Enfield Bullets. The landscape was literally out of this world. We road to a height of 18,340ft. If you would like to see the book I made of this incredible adventure click on this link… http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2526661  The adventure was organised by www.endurohimalaya.com

  17. Were you in Jomson by any chance? The geography looks hauntingly familiar as I hiked from Jomson to the bottom of the La Thorong pass setting up medical clinics along the way. Great photos and of course, you had stunning scenery to work with!

    There’s a reason why they are called mighty Himalayas, the final frontier! I have been to those terrain, not on a bike though, and you are correct the landscape is completely out of this world, weather could be hostile too, I am sure you must have got a taste of it too. I’ll check out your complete adventure on the link posted.

  28. Amazing photos and what a journey! Very inspiring.

  29. smudgeon says:

    I’ve always wanted to motorbike the karakoram highway. however, I don’t even know how to ride a motorbike, so I am happy to live vicariously through your photography!

    Which is most excellent, by the way.

  30. Love the detail in the middle B&W. Nice shot.

  31. Hoo Sze Ling says:

    Man …. I gotta get myself a motorbike licence! This year is it!!!

  32. Ammon says:

    Wow! Gorgeous pictures–how many photos did you snap on your ride?

  33. Wow, what a journey! Your photos are amazing.

  34. Himalayas has been one of the most isolated place on earth and those are the best places I want to visit someday. I never had left my hometown country Philippines before but wishing I could tour around the world. Amazing shot!

  35. True beauty can only be experience by motorbike. As an avid rider myself, nothing could take away the inner peace experienced while on a motorbike. While I have never experience world travels, I have discovered local treasures that many miss through normal travel methods. The wonders of this world can only be truly experienced with wind rushing through your hair…

  36. I have been to the Himalayas. Once before and then after marriage. First time for a trek, the second time it was more of a trip. Wonderful place to shoot. Especially the upper reaches – Leh, Ladakh, and the Kashmir Valley.

    Nice snaps. Keep up the good work and the travel.

    Greetings
