Rules & Regulations

● Full face helmet ( Mandatory )
● Riding boots / waterproof Ankle length boots ( Quechua / Woodland / similar shoes not applicable)
● Full sleeves riding jacket with protectors

Environmental responsibility:

Year on year, the Himalayas get visitors in increasing volumes. Over the 17 years of Himalayan Odyssey we have observed some of the most pristine and immaculate places getting deteriorated due to sheer lack of concern on the part of travellers. We advise everyone on the Odyssey to show concern towards the environment and ensure that we leave zero impact on the environment through our activity and conduct.

To meet the demands of the increasing tourists in the region, more and more products are brought into the valley with some of them packaged in non-biodegradable materials that is affecting the ecological balance and leading to unpredictable weather in the valley. Every year more material comes in but nothing leaves. Please do join us in our efforts to promote a more responsible motorcycle riding culture.

● Say ‘No’ to plastic: Avoid imported packaged water; refill your bottle with boiled/ filtered water. Where possible, avoid foods and other products packaged in plastic. - alternatives - use metal bottles refill with water
● Save water: Use water sparingly and wisely particularly in mountains where it is a precious and expensive commodity. - for activities like bathing washing etc
● Save energy: Be careful not to waste valuable resources. Use local resources sparingly. Switch off lights, heaters/air-conditioning and fans when you leave the hotel room.

Luggage:

We advise you to travel light. Although a support vehicle is arranged on the Himalayan Odyssey to carry your luggage, each rider is allowed to place only one bag with a maximum permissible limit of 15 Kgs. The sum of the 3 dimensions (length + breadth + height) of each piece must not exceed 62 inches or 158 centimetres for each piece. The bag needs to be either a duffle bag or any other soft cover bag, the hard suitcases or bags are not allowed on the ride.

The luggage will be weighed in Delhi before the ride starts and if your luggage exceeds the permissible limit of 15 kgs or permissible dimensions of 158 cm, you will have to either carry the extra luggage on your motorcycle or talk to the hotel to keep your luggage or you will be charged INR 200 per day per kg for carrying the same in the luggage vehicle. A rider is responsible for carrying the luggage from their room to the luggage vehicle and taking it back towards the end of each day. Each rider must ensure that his/her luggage is loaded and unloaded every day.

Satellite luggage (to be carried on the motorcycle at all times)- In case the vehicle carrying the luggage gets held up for some reason, we should be prepared and equipped to make ourselves comfortable for a few days. We would advise that you carry the following basics on your motorcycle.

1. Change of clothes - To hang around the camps or hotels and sleep comfortably after a hard day's ride.
2. One pair of footwear - The riding shoes might be wet and are not the most comfortable for walking while in the camp or hotel.
