Himalaya Enfield Challenge 2008

With three weeks of experience in the saddle, we post some points we think they deserve attention.

The price below the line. With all taxes, ad hoc increases and medical costs, it was a bit more than intially expected.
You need some experience for this trip. We would not recommend this to an inexperienced motorcyclist, unless he or she has a big heart.
Given the "bumpy roads" it seems irresponsible to us to take a passenger, unless the person holds true adventure and has a good seat.
The mmotorcycles were no equipped with luggage carriers, so the extra bandages were not needed. ( 6 pieces )
Custom T-shirts as a souvenir for the leaving party could have been fun. We now had them made ourselves.
It was said that we would have dutch guidance, but it appeared on arrival that it was not the case.
It is recommended to bring sunscreen, take one which is stronger than factor 20. You burn quickly up there.
With us the team captain was changed at the end of the second week. That was a weird feeling, because we had built a band with him.
Make in advance sure which vacinations you need. There have been several different recommendations by the physicians.
The quality of our motorcycles was related to the maintenance level below what we expected. We have had a lot of repairs that could have been prevented.
