“Unforgettable.” “Beyond Expectations.” “Remarkable.” The 2023 Trans-Himalaya Riders Speak out

 

The riders on 2023 Trans-Himalaya Cycling Adventure faced many challenges along the route. Some were expected – soaring mountain passes and rough roads – and some were not – landslides and mini-monsoons – but in the end, the cyclists had an amazing time. It was a cycling adventure that they will not soon forget!

The 2025 Trans-Himalaya is open for registration but the spots are filling up quickly. Don’t wait too long to sign up and cycle the high Himalayas.

“The Trans Himalayan adventure is without question a ‘bucket list’ ride for any serious cyclist that desires to pedal in rugged, remote, world class mountainous terrain. This is simply one of those rides where photographs can’t begin to adequately capture the scale and scope of your surroundings. The physical challenge of climbing up and over passes that sat at dizzying elevations was exhilarating. This is one remarkable and memorable trek that I would do again in heartbeat. It is one spectacular ride.” – Brian McCloskey (USA)

“A true trip of a lifetime. My favourite cycle tour. TDA delivered an adventurous route with incredible scenery, supported by a fabulous team that was always ready to handle the unexpected.” – Mary Potyrala (Canada)

“TDA has done it again! The tour exceeded all my expectations. The routes were well planned and never boring! You see India and Nepal from the unique perspective – from the saddle of you bike! The most beautiful part is you see the countries and it’s people, unfiltered. You also learned to expect the unexpected!” – Dennis Joe (USA)

“All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, one of the best, if not the best in my life.” – Dag Willems (Belgium)

“Trans Himalaya: Beyond expectations in any way. What a great tour in a majestic scenery.” – Tjeerd Saatrube (Netherlands)

“To cycle the high altitude passes in the Himalayan Mountains is an experience of a lifetime.” – Richard Schingler (USA)

“This tour is the total package. It has the most beautiful scenery in the world. The landscapes cover the whole spectrum, from amazing vistas to the flats of the lowlands. The weather will bring you snow and then melt you down to a puddle. The local people will melt your heart with their ability to be content and happy with very little but their beliefs and family. You will travel from being alone in the mountains to the urban jungles with mega, crazy, insane traffic and swarms of people. this is a tour that will light up all of your senses. Just do it.” – Frank Smith (Canada)

“Fantastic exposure to remote Himalayan culture and terrain, with time to explore cultural interests amid fun and sometimes challenging conditions. Superb support by skilled and friendly staff, and a most congenial group of competent, friendly cyclists. Highly recommended.” – Brenda Trenholme (Canada)
