There are thousands of different elements that you might consider when you’re looking to capture an epic image, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But there are just a few key points that are really worth focusing on if you want to guarantee capturing exceptional images on your next trip.

The first step of telling a great motorcycling story is to make sure you’ve captured your ride’s best moments on camera. Here, Simon Thomas shares 10 rules he lives by to ensure he gets the photos that matter.

Yolo /ˈjoʊ.loʊ/
Life’s too short, let’s dedicate it to stuff that breathes magic into the mundane!
Take a trip into the mountains that are waiting to be explored, small places that still retain their inherent beauty, quiet and simplicity.
Lost trails that are waiting for you on the road less travelled!

We've launched an 8 day exploring an unseen side of Ladakh that's a perfect mix of motorcycling and exploring this land of highpasses.
Ride some of the most stunning roads in this region on the gorgeous NH1 and towards the Sham Valley to visit Alchi Monastery - one of Ladakh's architectural wonders and one of the most important Buddhist centers in .
Explore lesser known paths, off the usual tourist routes, as we travel to hidden gems that are Likir village, Basgo fort, and Phyang village.
Test your riding mettle as we attempt the erstwhile highest motorable road in Ladakh - Khardungla. It may not be the highest road anymore, but the challenge and adrenaline rush of crossing Ktop never gets old.
Explore the stunning Nubravalley and dive even deeper into this remote region as we ride to the village of Turtuk a green oasis in this cold desert region. Only recently opened to adventurers, this experience is a trip back in time to feel the untouched beauty of the Ladakh landscape and the charm of its people.
Ride to a 5000+ meter pass that is off the beaten part in this region. But, not before a sit down for a picnic lunch, set smack in the middle of the Ladakhi landscape and all of its stark beauty. And finally a journey to Ladakh is not complete without a visit to Pangong Tso. We camp close to the shore, relax and take in the changing colors of this great lake as the sunsets.

The great home of the Soul is the open road. Not heaven, not paradise.
Not 'above'. Not even 'within'.
The soul is neither 'above' nor 'within'.
It is a wayfarer down the open road.
Not by meditating. Not by fasting.
Not by exploring heaven after heaven, inwardly, in the manner of the great mystics.
Not by exaltation. Not by ecstasy.
Not by any of these ways
does the soul come into her own.
Only by taking the open road.

~ 'The Open Road' by Walt Whitman.

We become different persons when we are travelling. Gone is the impatience, anxiety and urgency which are standard city adjectives.
On a journey these seamlessly transcended into bliss, patience and a belief in the essential good of every act and event.
