What Cyclists Say
Kit C Himalayan - endorphins boost • Our tour planned by Mr. Ravi include Sirsir La Pass, a high-altitude mountain pass in the Zanskar region of Ladakh, India, at an elevation of 4,565 meters (14,977 feet). The road to Padum and offers panoramic views of the Zanskar valley. The view is awesome. Scenic routes unfolded along Zanskar River, surrounded by stunning Himalayan ranges. The drive was pleasant due to safe skillful driving of our driver. Mr Ravi took care of our safety and equipment check is done before we start our cycling. Mr. Ravi and his team (2 cyclists and 2 vehicles) always on a look out for us during our cycling excursion. Mr Ravi prepared for varied conditions, when he plans our tour that aligns with our fitness level and desired experience, challenges like difficult terrain, weather. Praises to Mr Ravi and his team for a well-organized tours, knowledgeable guides, comfortable and clean accommodations. Hot meals (delicious local fares, pasta, traditional oven pizza and chocolate cake), hot water at our tents, clean warm blankets and sleeping bags are provided, thanks to our guide, Mr Ravi, and his team. • Unique cultural experiences are brought to our hotel stay at LEH which I enjoyed the ancient stories behind the dances.• I will give a thumb up for the hospitality and professional services of Mr Ravi and his team, who go above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Mimi M Awesome and unforgettable We did our first bike/camping trip in 2012 with Ravi and his team. He ensures we have enough food intake before a long or strenuous ride ahead. He scouts the area and brings us to fantastic viewpoints for amazing Instagrammable shots. He ensures to avoid dangerous road conditions. i have brought other friends and have engaged Ravi for hiking/biking/safari/motorbiking tours since 2012. Am planning a bike trip for this year. Can't get enough of the raw beauty in vast Himachal Pradesh and J&K, hiking down Kye Monastery, camping near Sissu waterfalls, riding up Khardung La, experiencing hailstorms in Baralachala. Unforgettable trips. GLee1512 Cycling & Trekking from Manali-Hampta Pass from 1-12 August 2018 Had a wonderful and awesome time in India organised by HNE. Ravi is good in what he does and also took good care of my friends and I during our journey and trip. A well organised itinerary, all arrangements were done in a well meticulous way to our satisfaction especially the camping and preparation of food from campsite. Extra care was also given to us especially when cycling on some of the highway to Rohtang Pass and along Chhatru to Batal & Chandratal Lake. Thank you again to Ravi and his team! You guys ROCK! Chew W Selflessness: A wonderful Crew Himalayan Nature Escapes’ Ravi with his amazing crew have carefully planned for us challenging and breathtaking 3-day mountain biking to Rohtong La Pass and 5-day camping/trekking to Hampta Pass and Chandratal Lake, North India last August. Our biking crew (never thank them enough!) Ravi, Rajesh, Arun and Prem were always nearby to give us food, drinks, big smiles, morale supports and great company. It was a hell-of-a-climb chasing Arun to the top. But, it was all worth it. A superb ride. Stunning sceneries. And, amazing crew. Our trekking trip to Hampta Pass was also a spectacular and unforgettable experience. During our second day of trekking to Hampta Pass, when the temp has dropped to 5 degrees Celsius and we were soaking wet and shivered because of the cold rain, our wonderful crew; Ravi, Arun, Rajesh and Nor boo, despite they too were totally soaked wet and cold, quickly continued to pitch our tents and cooked for us warm food. We were humbled by their selflessness. Their friendship, beautiful smiles, delicious food, great hospitality and of course the amazing sing-along session will always be in our memories. The journey has been such a pleasure and breathtaking. Thank you, Ravi for taking us through these incredible expeditions. And, the crew; Rajesh, Arun, Norboo, Beetu and Prem; THANK YOU. You are the best!! 🙏👍 raynatic Epic Adventure with Himalayan Nature Escapes 5 of us from Malaysia and this was our second trip with them - in 2017 we did a cycling trip in Leh - Khardung La - Nubra Valley - Leh and this year we did a 12-day Biking & Hiking Adventure from Manali - Rohtang Pass - Hampta Pass - Chandra Tal - Manali. Really appreciate Ravi and your amazing & hardworking team for taking good care of us - from organising this rather challenging logistic to baking a very delicious birthday cake for me up in the remote mountain while we were on the campsite!
