Rohan, tell us about your ride experience in brief.
Ride experience in brief?
Speaking for myself, I think that the title of this program, Ride of Your Life, is very apt.
It's definitely been the Ride of My Life.
I think that this introduction to Ladakh is absolutely spectacular.
Hope to come back with my wife sometime, though she won't do it on a motorcycle.
And... I think that... I don't have to tell you, I'm probably the least skilled of all your riders
But I think this experience has increased my level of confidence tremendously.
In terms of... you know... never having faced these challenges and somehow or the other, made it through them.
So I would heartily recommend this to anybody.
And what stood out for you?
What stood out for you in the ride?
Well, the scenery is absolutely spectacular.
And, you know... every day is different.
There was no repetition of the same scenery
I think that the descent into Pang is still burnt into my memory
in terms of just how vivid and spectacular that is...
It's comparable to anything... I think... Petra, Jordan or all the places that are so famous...
And hopefully people will be... not too many people, but people will learn about the beauty of Ladakh.
Are you happy with the food, stay and all the arrangements made by the team?
Absolutely... Again there's been variety there... in terms of it being different...
Food's been spectacular. I was told before I came here - I should prepare for Maggi three times a day...
But I think I ate Maggi out of curiosity only...
No, the food has been excellent, I think the planning has been excellent...
The riding experience - a little bit hair-raising for me, but nevertheless it's been very exhilarating
So yeah, I would heartily recommend it.
Are you happy with the condition of the motorcycles you were given?
Yes, of course... Chotu, your mechanic...
Most obliging... long suffering... watching us bash these things about... Yes, absolutely.
I'd never ridden an Enfield and I think that has also been a very good learning experience for me.
Out of all the tour companies why did you choose Ride of My Life?
Well, I'd seen your film actually... many years back.
The first one... Riding Solo to the Top of the World.
And I've actually bought DVDs and given them to many people...
So every now and then I check on Facebook what's going on and then when
I started to see this tour being advertised...
In fact... I thought about it last year but then I just wasn't able to get the time...
