Flexibility
When you are travelling in India you need to be flexibly. Sometimes everything is not possibly to do according to our schedule. Then we have to improvise and we have learned by experience that there is always a way to find a solution. What I’m saying is, you need to be prepared for an adventure tour. If you not are the adventure type of person maybe this tour is nothing for you.
Accomodation
We are staying in hotels most of the time. In some tours we spend one or two nights in tent. The hotel we are using is according to Indian standard good hotels. According to international standard middle class. If we for any reason have to stay at a place that we not planed to stay, we can not guarantee that the hotel keep the same standard as the hotel we normally use to stay at. For that reason it might be good to bring an extra towel and sheet.
Food
We are eating at places with good standard to keep our self healthy. There will be Indian, Chinese and Tibetan food. At some places there are also western food available. Occasionally we have to eat at simple places, but even those places have well prepared food and we use to keep us in good health. By our experience we have learned what to eat and what not to eat. Breakfast is included in the price of the tour. But all drinks are on your own account.
Climate
When we starting in Siliguri the temperature is about +30 C degrees. But when we start climbing the hills with the bikes / jeeps, the temperature comes down drastically. The normal temperatures up in the mountains are +15 to +25 C degrees. But during the night time and in the morning time it could bee freezing cold, less then +10 C degrees. So you need to bring some warm clothes for that. It’s normally not rain during the season we do our tours. But you can never be to sure about the weather so bring your raingear.
Motorcycle riding equipment
If you are going for a motorbiketour, we recommend that you bring your own gears, as helmet, jacket, pants, booths or what you else use to have when you are riding your bike. Sometimes it’s warm with all the gears, but we will put the safety in first place. But, it’s totally up to you what you are wearing on the tour we just give some recommendations. If you go for a jeep tours you also need some jacket because our jeeps are open.
Packing
Everything you bring with you, you have to carry on your own bike. The bike has two side boxes and one back carrier where you can put another bag. We recommend not to take to much luggage. Almost everything are available in India to low prices. So you can easily by things if you need something more.

Ask your doctor what kind of vaccinations he recommends you to take before this tour.
