We went for Manali to srinagar Bike tour. It was the best bike trip of my entire life It all started with the person named Shubham from thrillophilia who helped me in selecting the best trip and processed with my booking, all thanks to him! Without him I wouldn’t have been able to experience the best trip of my life. On arrival there, we met our tour guide Tani and our Mechanic Shashi about whom I have read a lot at thrillophilia reviews. These 2 guys were so supportive during the entire tour that no matter what happened they were always there to look after us. They always made sure we are safe and we are following them and there is no overtaking taking place. Tani, the tour guide, one chilled out person he is! Make sure you get him as your tour guide and Shashi as the mechanic as these guys will always make sure that they are there for you no matter what. And in the end, it’s all the Main man behind everything, Jimmy Sir. Thanks a lot Sir for making me experience the best trip of my life! Without you and your team this wouldn’t have been possible. Thanks for helping us out in every way possible.
The roads here are difficult terrain to ride on. You gotta be careful. You gotta carry your gum boots during water logging which is the most difficult to cross. But these guys made sure that we were all safe and had sound health till we reached home. Not even a single person was hurt. Our group was a mixture of all age groups, I’m fact we even got to meet 2 people From the Indian navy as well. One mad kickass experience! Unbelievable. Reaching the worlds highest Pass, Khardungla Top, was the highest achievement of my life till date which happened on this trip!
And if at all you wish to go, don’t forget to ask Tani and Shashi as your tour guide and mechanic, and go only through Jimmy Sir as he has the best team!
Thanks a lot to everyone out there for which I thought the best way would be to write at thrillophilia reviews.
From Recent Expedition -: Srinagar > Leh > Manali !!
The feeling was awesome and words are not enough to express my experience of the expedition, but ever since I talked about it, it makes me feel that I’m still travelling, I’m still there. I had been a frequent traveller, but the emotions associated with this tour were different. We enjoyed, we had fun, we went emotional, we met some new friends, we felt proud, we captured every possible feelings and emotions we can during the entire journey.

Thanks to Thrillophilia for making this trip awesome & memorable one.
Such an amazing bike ride, challenging but with thrill till the end. Make sure that you are prepared to prevent the cold, the rough wind, the altitude sickness etc because even the symptoms of sickness will affect your trip. Khardung La Pass is quite a challenging one, also there are different shorter and longer passes throughout the journey. The service was also nice, not many complaints. The guides will know the place better because they are doing it for long. But still keep the track of the route before you start the trip. The guide was nice to us, keeping everything coordinated. The accommodation and food were also flawless to me.
Recapturing Leh-Ladakh It was Manali-Jispa-Sarchu-Leh-NubraValley-Pangong-Leh-Kargil-Srinagar, I was a solo rider with RE Himalayan. In total, my group consists of 22 people and 17 Bikes. It was one hell of a journey. The group, guide, mechanic, truck driver, and the organizer were awesome. They made me feel like family. The Guide whose name is TANI, he is a gentleman and he is excellent in his job. He made it clear that everyone is safe, having fun and not missing out any adventure. I helped every team member a lot with driving & etc. One of the best things about him was he took care of the fact that every bike travel together and no one is left behind. The Mechanic whose name is SHASHI, the mechanic I have seen till now, I haven't seen any damage bike that he can not repair. Throughout the journey, he was the most important person because he took care of our bike and see to it that we do not face any problem. The best things about him were he would check and test every bike every night before the morning ride. The Organiser Jigmet was humble and he took care of everything, from permits to protections. 4 Camps and 4 Hotels, all were very very good. Comfort Stay with unbelievable views. The bike was all-most new and excellent in condition. The journey was full of adventure, bliss, awesomeness and etc. Believe me, I cannot describe this journey into word. I am speechless.

It was an awesome experience. Completed the tour in July 2019. We had booked for 8 persons on Thrillophilia. The facilities were good, Tani-the tour guide, was superb. Amazing tour, to say the least. I have penned down my entire experience of Ladakh bike tour on my blog. Sharing the link here.
Travelled from UK for this tour in August and it was amazing. The whole team very helpful and knowledgeable, route trip incredible and well planned, bikes in good condition with reliable backup of truck or jeep in case any mechanical/health problems and accommodation and food simple and excellent - just right for this kind of trip and budget. I couldn’t fault this trip at all. The people and scenery of Ladakh stunning and the fellow tourists on the trip made it a dream even though the altitude can be a bit challenging at times. Definitely coming back for round 2!
"It's one among the best experience in my travel life. Well organised and executed trip. \n\nIt's my first north indian trip and i could able to meet new friends and people there; thankyou thrillophilia for all the fine memories."
"The beauty Himalayas possesses is breath taking. During the course of the whole trip, there wasn't a single day we didn't feel awed by it. We opted for this package and it was organised by ladakh escapades. This package covers some highest motorable passes in the world, different landscapes like mountains (some snow mountains), desserts, lakes, rivers, highways. To enjoy these, one should spend enough days and the journey should be hasstle free which is exactly what this package offers. You pay the package amount and the only thing you need to worry about during the journey is what to eat for lunch everyday (you will decide that Maggi and omlet are the safest options after day 1). The route from Manali to Srinagar is difficult than the other way as there will be steep increase in the altitude till Leh from Manali and coupled with the low temperatures it will make one's life difficult to acclimatize to the mountains. This package gives good amount of 3 days to take this difficult part of the route and life after that eases. The accommodation, breakfast and dinner provided at the places of stay are of good to very good standards. On 4 nights, accommodation is in tents which is what one can get at those places. The value of the tour guide, bike mechanic and mini lorry to carry luggage included in the package can be understood only when you interact with people who faced difficulties while traveling there without these. I felt customer satisfaction and safety were given the utmost priority by the planners.\n\nHands down, this is a trip for lifetime and choose this package to have one of the most memorable experience that you can ever get."
Had a brilliant experience with Jigmet, Thani and team. The trip was very well organized, and the team was always there to ensure that no one had any difficulties. It is a dream trip, riding across different landscapes, and each of them having a picture perfect appeal!
