Travels and Adventures of an Ent on a Motorcycle
Finally leaving Pokhara had a little bit of meaning to it, in total I'd been here nearly 2 weeks split over 3 stays. I really liked the place, despite all the tourism and everything that goes with it. I crossed the border back into India the next day, after a night in what was essentially … Continue reading Day 196 to 205 – Pokhara to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Seven days I ended up staying in Pokhara. I had originally planned to spend the night and then head through to Kathmandu, but decided to have a day off, and come the afternoon I wasn't really feeling up to riding the next day. I had put aside a week to have off in Kathmandu, so … Continue reading Day 179 to 195 – Pokhara to Mustang Valley
An easy ride to finsih off my first stint in India, down out of the hills from Champawat and into Nepal. The road wound down steadily along the side of the hills, giving some more incredible views all the way, though a little different this time. The mountains didn't seem to just lower themselves and … Continue reading Day 173 to 178 – Champawat to Pokhara, Nepal
Rest days in Manali were great, after 2 weeks of very basic living in the mountains. Me, Martin and Xenia spent most days drifting between one cafe or another on the laptops. Almost every day I said "I might leave tomorrow" only to decide not to in the morning, still feeling like I needed rest … Continue reading Day 158 to 172 – Manali to Champawat, Uttarakhand, India
We left the lovely family in Jammu after a nice breakfast and hit the road, still humbled after an unexpected free nights sleep and food. The traffic didn't treat us as kindly though, slowing us on the thin, bumpy roads. The road into the mountains had two lanes, but one was completely full of trucks, … Continue reading Day 143 to 157 – North India loop
Finally the day to leave Islamabad, it didn't start very well though. I got packed up, gear on and bike loaded, then realised the battery was entirely flat. I suspect some kids turned on the heated grips the night before, they were very interested in the bike and tend to poke around it. Luckily Martin … Continue reading Day 136 to 142 – Islamabad to Jammu – India!
An odd start to the day getting accosted and checked over by a plain clothes official in the hotel dining room. We had to make some copies of our Visa pages in our passports before he was satisfied. Today it was just Me, Martin and Xenia Oki having left early in the morning. Karimabad was … Continue reading Day 117 to 135 – Sost to Islamabad – Pakistan
Chilly start to the day but we were all up and excited like it was Christmas in our little house in Sary-Tash. Everyone was ready and packed sharpish, a quick breakfast then we were on the road. A couple of hours easy riding to the Kyrgyzstan border to start the exit process, stunning views of … Continue reading Day 110 to 116 – Sary-Tash to Sost via China
Woke up all through the morning from 2am when it really got cold until 6am when I couldn't get back to sleep any more. I stumbled out the tent for a wizz to an amazing sight, looking over the lake to a clear view of the mountains again. Most mornings when I wake up, it … Continue reading Day 95 to 109 – Karakul to Sary-Tash via Bishkek
Waking up looking over to Afghanistan was a very weird experience. A lot of things on this trip are very weird and take some getting used to, but that was a big one. We all got packed away pretty quick, said our goodbyes to the German family in the truck and headed out. The roads … Continue reading Day 91 to 94 – Khorog to Karakul
