Cost does not include:

International Airfare, Lunch, Travel Insurance, Personal expenses like tips, bar & restaurant charge, Telephone bills,
any other personal expenses which are not including the above cost include portion.

Necessary Items:
Due to the varied topographies through which these tours run, with altitudes between 2500ft and some 18,000ft,
it is difficult to find one piece of kit that will be ideal for all conditions. On the Leh & Ladakh Tour, with its great
range of altitudes, it is possible to encounter temperatures of 30ºC and 10ºC in a single day. While we don't expect
rain at the times of year that we run these tours, it does sometimes happen and this will drop the temperature
greatly. Thus it is worth considering kit in terms of layers.

Helmet
Compulsory on tour. If an open-faced helmet is your preference then one with a drop-down visor like this is ideal.
If bringing a basic open-face, remember to bring some eye protection, including clear lenses for low light
conditions. Also good for these tours, with a good blend of face-protection and ventilation is an enduro-style
helmet. A decent full-face helmet is also perfectly adequate for these tours.

Gloves
Summer-style, waterproof gloves like these are ideal for all-round use, though will be a little warm at times. If you
suffer from cold hands you may also want to back them up with some inner-gloves at high altitude. Alternatively,
for the well-heeled, there's the two-glove strategy, using something like these vented summer gloves in the heat
and waterproof winter gloves at altitude and if things get damp.

Jacket
A traditional leather bike jacket will be OK, if a little hot, and will require you to bring a waterproof over-jacket, or
an over-suit. It is, however, better to leave any thermal liners at home, instead bringing a fleece that can be worn
off-bike in the evenings, or quickly removed should temperatures rise. Another tack is to wear a light, vented
armoured jacket and carry a wind/waterproof over-jacket to bolster heat and cope with rain.
Trousers
As with jackets, armored textile trousers are probably the way to go, but waterproof ones tend to be very hot, so
better go for a cool pair and carry waterproof over-trousers for chilly days. Likewise, protective jeans are ideal
when mated to over-trousers.

Boots
We would recommend, though, that you wear 'proper' bike boots with shin protection. Waterproofing will be
appreciated on river crossings. The ideal Himalayan tour boot is something sturdy like this.

Other clothing & kit

The list below isn't everything you might need to bring on one of our tours but highlights things that are best not
forgotten.
