Hello. We are pleased to announce the details of this year’s annual jolly, The Blazing Trails Camping Bash. Following the great enjoyment of last year’s Bash, we are returning to Hagg’s Bank in Cumbria, one of England’s highest camp sites. Set in rolling hills on the edge of the Lake District, the venue offers not only one of the most beautiful settings, but also one that allows us to take advantage of some fantastic motorcycling, on both tar roads and dirt trails. As part of the event, we are offering ride-outs on both roads and trails. The road rides will take part on different routes on both Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday we will head into the Lake District to enjoy the most scenic routes – including the Hardknott Pass. Sunday we enjoy the quieter roads in the direction of Northumbria. There will be very much more to see and do, so please check out the ‘Overview’ and ‘Itinerary’ for more details. Camper van price shown is for two people.

Nepali jungle and Himalayan valleys, via super-twisty roads with views of the Annapurna and Everest ranges – this is a trip full of fabulous contrasts and epic rides, without venturing to very high altitudes or onto tough dirt roads. We start in deep jungle with a walking/rafting safari in tiger country, before taking to the bikes and exploring the hills. Lift your eyes from the endless bends for views to Everest and Annapurna. The tour price is inclusive of some meals, fuel and internal flights.

This adventure is simply vast! We will travel into the planet’s highest mountains, through the world’s deepest gorge; we will motor through the magnificence of Mustang where the Tibetan plateau meets the world’s highest scenery. Eight-thousand-metre peaks will become our daily friends until we plummet down to the hot jungle to walk and raft in Tiger forests, where rhino and elephant also thrive. An all-round unforgettable experience!

A tour here is to visit a place like no other and to call it a ‘holiday’, is to do the experience no justice whatsoever. Even to try and get close to explaining the sheer scale of this adventure, the raw, untouched beauty of its locations and the endless fascination of its peoples and cultures, carries with it a degree of futility, but we will blunder on nonetheless… Blazing Trails have been running Himalayan tours through the Spiti Valley since 2005 and it is this experience, allied to precise organisation, that allows us to guide riders to such places. As with all our trips an experienced leader and support crew are with you every mile, providing expert guidance and mechanical or medical assistance if required. But despite our enormous local knowledge, a ride through the Himalaya is never going to be without its challenges and surprises…

This exhilarating tour is something of a Himalayan odyssey, crossing some of the World’s Highest Motorable passes and linking three of the ultimate mountain range’s most breathtaking regions: Lahul, Ladakh and Zanskar. Leaving from Dharmasala, in the shadow of the magnificent Dhauladhar range, we will travel over the heights to the incomparable beauty of the Zanskar Valley, with its 24,000ft snowcaps and glaciers… little comes close in terms of natural splendour. From there it’s on to Leh, ‘capital’ of Ladakh. Appropriately, we will be using the 410cc Royal Enfield Himalayan for this route. With its ground clearance and dirt riding ability, it is well suited to the rigours of this route.

This outstanding tour covers some of the most scenic, exotic and diverse areas of southern India, from steamy coastal waterworlds to the cool air and uplifting vistas of Kerala’s mountains. You will be riding through the pristine forests and jungle gorges of Kerala’s many national parks and have the opportunity to spot many of the region’s wild animals along the way. Highlights of this trip also include a night on the backwaters in a luxury houseboat and time to explore the historical trading port of Cochin. The riding on this trip is superb – twisty and generally well surfaced – and the accommodation is of a high standard, while retaining a genuine Keralan feel. If you want to experience the best motorcycling destinations that South India has to offer, with the level of back-up that only Blazing Trails delivers, then this is the trip for you.

Our Himalayan Foothills Tour is designed to offer some of the best riding and natural beauty on offer, without breaking the bank or taking riders into the extreme environments that characterise our Zanskar and Spiti Valley tours. Travelling the minor back-roads of Himachal Pradesh’s hill country, we will take in stunning views, experience rural life in the mountains and visit cultural and historic sites, both Indian in orgin and leftovers of the British Raj. These include the Dali Lama’s home town of Dharamasla, the Raj’s summer capital at Shimla and Manali, gateway to the High Himalaya – and all this fascination and beauty is linked by twisty roads all the way!
