I asked myself…

I wondered if a VR employee had done this circuit with this type of motorcycle! Very bad roads, hellish traffic conditions, really too dangerous!

For the destination, it's the result of our personal images. But the guide is absolutely essential, as is the passenger's file if it's a couple's project, if the trip is to be a success.

Nepal is a country rich in culture and we were able to discover it. Unfortunately, the roads were very bad on motorcycles that were uncomfortable for the passenger and the route did not allow us to see the snow-covered ranges. These 2 points were a surprise.

An unforgettable experience. A surprising country by…

An unforgettable experience. A surprisingly rich cultural heritage, especially in Kathmandu. An endearing Nepalese people. The RE 350 Classic motorcycle is THE best way to blend into the landscape, and remains a real mule for getting past the many obstacles encountered on the road, which often looks more like a stony track. That's the charm of this trip, but it can be a challenge for beginner riders. We were in pairs and loved the contact with the locals, thanks to a perfect guide, Navneet, as well as Dipak and Kahn, our driver and mechanic, who made everything run smoothly. We'll be back...

Merci pour votre retour Jacques. Pour répondre à votre question, nos programmes sont régulièrement mis à jour à travers deux approches complémentaires : un débrief détaillé entre l'équipe de Lyon et les guides motos après chaque saison, et des voyages de repérage réalisés une fois par an par notre équipe de Lyon. Ces initiatives permettent d’ajuster nos itinéraires et de garantir une expérience optimale à nos riders. Comme vous le savez, l'état des routes a été particulièrement dégradé après une mousson exceptionnellement forte en 2024, ce qui a malheureusement impacté une partie de votre itinéraire. Nous veillerons à évoquer ce risque de manière plus appuyée pour les prochains tours. Nous espérons toutefois que le dédommagement perçu vous encourage à repartir avec nous dans le futur.

Merci pour votre retour Brigitte. En effet, l'état des routes a été particulièrement dégradé après une forte mousson en 2024. Nous veillerons à évoquer ce risque de manière plus appuyée pour les prochains tours. Quant au confort des motos pour les passagers, nous avons bien pris le point et nous guettons les opportunités pour se procurer des selles plus confortables. Comme nous avions vu ensemble au début du tour, l'import de pièce au Népal est plus difficile que dans d'autres pays. Nous espérons tout de même que cela ne vous a pas empêcher de profiter des paysages et de la culture locale. En espérant vous revoir bientôt sur les routes. L'équipe Vintage Rides

Ravi de lire ton retour sur le Népal Jean-Luc! Le Mustang, c'est vraiment un coup de cœur pour beaucoup de nos voyageurs. Et la Royal Enfield, quelle complice pour s'aventurer sur ces routes! On comprend tout à fait que tu aies été séduit par l'authenticité du pays et la gentillesse des Népalais. Navneet, Dipak et Kahn ont l'air d'avoir formé une équipe de choc ! Tu nous fais déjà rêver pour ta prochaine aventure! L'équipe de Vintage Rides

Great trip to Bhutan;

08 November 2024

Guillaume

The Dragon Kingdom
A very high quality trip to Bhutan. It's a magnificent country that the proposed route covers very well. Vintage Rides' local organization is very good, everything runs very smoothly and the motorcycle/mechanical aspects are very well managed. One point for improvement would be to leave the main road that crosses the country from west to east more often, perhaps for a detour to the north / the peaks, which could have brought more variety to the route. Another point for improvement is the dubious management of the end of our stay and our return to Paro. The proposed itinerary made no provision for dealing with possible weather difficulties on departure from Yonphula airport, which locals know to be unreliable (planes only land there with perfect visibility). We found ourselves in this situation. Without asking our opinion, the organization chose to make us cross the country by car overnight. This meant over 500km of mountain roads at 30-40km/h, with drivers falling asleep at the wheel (the Bhutanese make this journey in two days, they told us at the outset that it wasn't possible), fog, heavy rain and landslides (members of our group walked in front of the cars to clear rocks that had just fallen onto the road). A mind-boggling and unacceptable level of danger that seems to be explained only by vintage rides' desire to preserve its margin (we would logically have missed our return to Delhi) at the expense of participants' safety. As a young father, I can't accept finding myself in this situation through the fault of others, and can't recommend traveling with Vintage Rides. On the other hand, if you're old, your children are independent and you're looking for adventure/potentially dying in unusual circumstances, then Vintage Rides is for you!
