communities , and mythology .
Into Thin Air is adventure in the purest sense , although guided by locals the visiting riders are encouraged to engage , inquire , explore as the riding takes them higher into the mountains , discovering communities rarely seen , people as inquisitive as the traveller .
Beginning at the rides southern most point , the beautiful mountain town of Shimla , with its traditional and colonial architecture and mountainside dwellings , the Motorcycle Expeditions crew will professionally guide you through the idiosyncrasies of riding in India , the almost confused road rules , and seemingly chaotic traffic . It eases as the ride heads north and to higher altitudes , Into Thin Air .
The well-made roads ease the rider into the Himalayas , passing through tree lined valleys , cliff side passes where the road is cut into the mountain . Villages are common and provide a view into the lifestyle as Hindi temples sit side by side with Buddhist Gompa ’ s . You ’ ll fall into the harmonious feel of the Himalayas where travellers of all sorts are welcomed , with open arms , into religious ceremonies and festivals .
Hotels and Guest Houses a perfect way to end each day discussing the new discoveries and the adventure ahead . Local hospitality and food a wonderful way to bond over a common theme and make new friends in the process .
