Frequent questions.
Record
We will only be able to admit a limited number of participants on this trip and this will be done on a first come, first serve basis.
There are only 20 stalls in Moto Himalaya.
Physical aptitude.
Moto Himalaya will last more than 8 days and we will drive around 1000 km. The journey will start on the plans and go over some of the highest mountain passes in the world. The riding terrain, altitude, and changes over the weather ensure that the physical preparation of the rider is tested immensely.
Physical fitness in such a setting can help you a lot and we recommend that you do regular training leading up to the trip. Try this simple 5 and 50 test - start with 50 push-ups and run 5kms. Take your time, we find the following to be a good indication.
Within 30 minutes - Very good
30-40 minutes - Good
40-50 minutes - Current
50+ - needs work.

The adventure we are going to embark on requires us to be well rested. The journey will start from Leh which is 3500 meters / 11,000 feet above sea level and will go up to 5350 meters / 18,300 feet. We will need to spend time to acclimate ourselves well for the first few days at this altitude before we go higher. Here are some things that we will have to do that will help us in our acclimatization.
● Get plenty of rest and stay hydrated.
● Refrain from consuming alcoholic beverages especially for the first 4 days.
● Refrain from very strenuous physical activities. A short walk around the main market is fine and will help you get used to the altitude.
