This trip was everything Redspokes said it would be and more and I am very glad to have done it. It was physically challenging and I wondered whether I was up to it but the planning and organisation by Redspokes who know a thing or two about these matters was first class which at aged 60 made it a within my capabilities. For anyone who has never been to the Himalayas this trip is perfect to reveal both its magnificence and its magic. Truly an outstanding experience that will remain with me for the rest of my life and I have no hesitation in recommending it and Redspokes.

A fantastic experience. Both challenging and rewarding. Great bunch of people on tour and in support team. Occasionally very draining, but always enjoyable and fantastic memories to last a lifetime.

This was my first Redspokes tour and will hopefully not be my last. Our group was a great mix of people, we were in some of the finest cycling landscapes in the World and the organisation and leadership was fantastic. Many thanks for some great memories.

This is a great trip! The Indian partners went out of their way to ensure our comfort and safety throughout. Campsites were chosen with care and were all very nice. The food was first rate! The care taken to acclimatize people was appreciated, as most of us had minimal altitude-related issues.
I would recommend this trip to any of my experienced cycling buddies; this was probably the best value for money I’ve received for any cycling trip I have done.

“The Manali to Leh trip was fantastic – big skies, big mountains and a real feeling of being “out there”. A real challenge and a journey that I’ll never forget.
It was my fourth Red Spokes trip and, as ever, Dermot’s knowledge of the issues facing the local population and unfailing good humour and enthusiasm made the experience all the more enjoyable”

"I want to thank you for a great trip, it more than exceeded my expectations. I was a bit concerned that the price of the trip was somewhat cheaper than other companies, but no corners were cut. The food while camping was excellent as was the standard of hotels.
Lee was a great guide too and went out of his way to keep everyone happy. 10 out of 10 to him. The local guide, ‘’Sushil’’ was absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have asked for a better local guide. Even his English astounded me. Nothing was too much effort for him.
The cycling was awesome, some tough days, along with a few easy days. The scenery was something out of this world. The only complaint about the cycling was that we may have had too many sunny days, so one had to apply plenty of sun block.
As for another trip, I hadn’t even completed this trip and I was thinking about my next cycling holiday. I would definitely be going on another Red Spokes in the near future".

Dermot, thanks to you I have ridden the highest roads in the world, what a story to tell in the pub! I will nerve forget the one hour of flat out descending from the 5,603m Khardung –la pass I have great memories, amazing photos, and good friends from the trip, thank again!

“Many thanks to Red Spokes and for a fabulous cycling tour in the Indian Himalayas. The organization was excellent and the food on the tour was delicious. The terrain was tough, but the level of support provided by Red Spokes made this remote tour enjoyable and safe.
In any adventure trip, unexpected events happen, and many did happen on our trip - Dermot and his team dealt with them professionally and efficiently. Much kudos to Red Spokes for offering such a unique cycle tour”.
