FAQs

Registration

We will only be able to accommodate limited number of participants on the ride and this will be done on a first come- first serve basis.

There are only 20 slots on Moto Himalaya.

Fitness

Moto Himalaya will last over 8 days with roughly 1000 km of riding. The ride will start in the plains and go over some of the highest mountain passes in the world. The riding terrain, altitude and the changes in weather ensure that the physical conditioning of the rider is tested immensely.

Fitness in such a setting can go a long way and we recommend regular training leading up to the ride. Try out the simple 5 and 50 test- start with 50 push-ups and run 5kms. Measure your timing, we have found these to be a good indication
Under 30 mins - Very good
30-40 minutes- Good
40-50 minutes - Average
50+ - needs work
