Look Down
They say don't look down. I say why not look down. If you don't see the fun in scaring yourself shitless from time to time then you really don't understand the concept of adventure, now do you? 😬

Body Massage Road
This is what I call a proper body massage road. Total satisfaction guaranteed. You need to make sure all your nuts and bolts are tightened properly. And those of your motorcycle as well. 😜

Nails
When crossing the wooden bridges on the road to Manang in Nepal you need to watch out for nails protruding out of the wooden planks. Some of them are bent to interesting shapes. If your tyre goes over

You usually ride on the left or right side of the road. But sometimes you need to ride on what's left of the road. 😬

Signs To Manang
If you decide to ride your motorcycle to Manang in Nepal don't blindly follow all the sign boards pointing to Manang. Some of them point to the original walking trail which takes you through people's

Might Is Right
On the Annapurna Circuit the principle of might is right rules big time. The track is narrow and can barely hold a 4x4 jeep. So when a minibus comes along it usually sits towards the rock face and motorcycles

When In Doubt, Throttle It Out
"When in doubt, throttle it out. It may not always improve the situation. But it will definitely end the suspense." 😬

Riding On The Edge
While climbing a steep trail, given a choice of (1) getting stuck in a rut near a rock face, and (2) riding smoothly along a cliff edge, which would you pick and why? :-)

Donkey Train
Back when the Annapurna Circuit was just a walking trail, people used donkey convoys to transport stuff. Even though the walking trail has been widened to a 4x4 jeep trail, people still use donkeys. It's

Riding The Suspension Bridge at Karte in Manang
Our ride around the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal was filled with many interesting incidents. But there is one particular incident that I will always remember this ride for. The one where Altaf Khalifa crossed

Close Call
Santosh really couldn't find a better place to drop his Triumph Tiger. This was on the way to Manang in Nepal. Its was a close call. If not for the branch on which the handebar is resting, motorcycle and

Trail Riding In Valpoi
This Sunday we rode deep into the jungles of Valpoi to a village so remote that we didn't realise that we had crossed the state boundary and had entered Karnataka. The village had just seven mud houses,

Riding Through Streams
I'm not sure what's the right technique of riding smoothly through a stream that has a bed of large, smooth and round rocks. If you go slow the handlebar turns violently and you end up going all over the

Ancient Bridge At Jomsom In Nepal
"Notice! This historical wooden bridge is very weak. So, only one motorbike at a time, one mule or horse at a time & 5 people at a time. Thank you for your cooperation."

The Road To Muktinath
The road to Muktinath is much easier than the road to Manang. We took three days to ride from Pokhara to Muktinath, but just one day to return. When going to Muktinath, there was no need to stop at Jomsom.
