im to make the decision to fly home to Perth, Australia to see a doctor meant he thought something was wrong…very wrong. I had arranged to catch up with Allen after he’d seen the doctor, so when my phone rang and Allen’s name came up I was expecting him to organise a quiet drink at the pub. Instead it was his wife calling to say Allen was dead. Allen was in his early 40’s, had been married for 10 years and had two awesome boys. Allen’s business was going well but draining a lot of his time. His family life was pretty good for someone who spent a lot of time working on the other side of the world. Any time at home was spent with the family. This was ok with Allen, however when we did meet, he would often tell me of the things he was going to do. He wanted to cross the Nullarbor with his boys to see the F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne, he wanted to take his wife to Thailand for a week, he wanted to “chill” on the beaches of the Bahamas. These were all things Allen was “gonna” do but never made time for. A rare form of Myeloma (bone marrow cancer) stopped Allen from achieving his dreams. To say it affected me is an understatement. We were the same age, we’d been married for roughly the same time, we both had two kids and I had another on the way. What if that had happened to me? It’s too easy to make excuses to put things off, to say to yourself “I’ll do that when…”. Life is too short to say (especially so in Allen’s case) you’ll do it later. As Richard Branson says “Screw it, just do it” and thats exactly what I did. Without asking or even telling my wife, I booked a Himalayan Motorcycle Adventure. I had been chatting to Buddhi in India for over a year about joining one of his Motorcycle Adventures through the Himalayas with the intention of doing it “one day”. After that shocking phone call, I made the decision instantly to do the trip. I put a post on Facebook saying “I’m going on a 2 week motorcycle adventure through the Himalayas, everybody is welcome to join me”. By the end of the day three people said they’d come with me, by the end of the week another five people were in and by the end of the month we had fifteen people from all around Australia booked to go to India and ride the highest motorable road in the world. Those 15 people had the best experience of their lives and it inspired us to provide the opportunity to others who wanted to experience the same life changing experience that we had. Hence Himalayan Heroes went from being a one off adventure to what we believe is the best Himalayan Motorcycle adventure available.

At the end of one of the longest days on the & adventure, you'd think that most riders would want a lie-down. Altitude and adrenaline do funny things to some riders though.

A few years ago, a group from QLD found the going a bit tough getting to this campsite so I informed last year's group what to expect. When we pulled into camp, we looked at each other and wondered what all the fuss was about. So much so, that a few of the riders went for a hike up the mountain and took this photo of the campsite.

One of my favourite night stays in the entire world, I'll take it over any 5-star resort.

The view from the guest house in the Mustang Valley, looking at the direction of the day's travel. In years gone by the roads were extremely challenging but they are sealing the roads slowly so that it is becoming more accessible for the local residents.

There are still some gnarly roads, water crossings, suspension bridges and river beds to cross though.

When heading up the Mustang Valley in Nepal, the town at the end of the road is Muktinath. The last bit of civilisation for trekkers before they make their way through the valley to the left of the picture to Annapurna.
There is an ancient Vishnu temple located at the top of a long set of stairs, which we call the . The temple is known as 'the lord of liberation', and is sacred to both Hindus and Buddhists.

I look back at the photos of adventures gone by and it brings a smile to my face. Most of this group on last year's Nepal adventure were mates who ride together on the East Coast of Australia. The banter was brutal.

When we head through the Zanskar Valley, we often have a short day in the middle. Some take the opportunity to rest, while others decide to trek the short 3km...ish to Phugtal Monastery.

Chunks reckons he saw a dinosaur bone at the top of the stairs. That was after he saw stars when he hit his head on the low doorway.

Chris contacted me in September and told me he'd just been given a last minute 12 day holiday in October and asked if I had an adventure he could join. He wasn't expecting a positive response but I came back to him with an option in Nepal and an option in Bhutan. Surprised myself by pulling that out of the hat!

He chose a solo adventure in Bhutan that cost him less than others charge per person for a group of 10!

...thinking that you'll make it around the corner. There definitely isn't a truck coming the other way and I'm sure there isn't a 300m drop on the other side.
Glory comes to those that commit.

Go karting in the Himalayas, why not!

We were running ahead of time and thought it'd be fairly safe. Apart from one driver that went flying over the barrier, it was pretty safe.

We were stoked to be the first adventure operator in the Himalayas to offer brand new Royal Enfield 450's to our riders. 14, fresh out of the crate bikes greeted our riders who were ready to explore the world's greatest adventure playground - the Himalayas.

Don't pay more and get the superseded Himalayan. No one does it better, get in touch for the ultimate adventure of a lifetime.

It's an awesome site to see (and hear) a jet fighter at full noise in the Himalayas.

It's also a reminder that you are close to the border of a couple of countries (Pakistan🇵🇰 and China🇨🇳) that have a strong presence in the area and sometimes test those borders.

People prefer to be with people like themselves. For all the celebration of "diversity," it's sameness that dominates. Most people favour friendships with those who share similar backgrounds, interests and values. It makes for more shared experiences, easier conversations and more comfortable silences. Despite many exceptions, the urge is nearly universal. It's human nature. -Robert J. Samuelson

From our 2023 Great Escape adventure that I was fortunate enough to share with friends. Looking forward to December when I get to do it all again.

Always on my mind - Himalayan mountain roads.

It's time to think about your 2025 adventure.

People often ask "Do you really get off road?"

I'll show them this pic.

Imagine coming up to this river if you've never crossed one or even ridden off road before. It gets the heart pumping but like most things in life, it looks harder than it is.

How good is the scenery!

The lamest crash I've ever had. @blownchunksbrewery just happened to be there to capture my embarrassment. #nepal🇳🇵 #stairwaytoheaven

Went to the Nadaam Festival opening ceremony which was pretty awesome. We grabbed some meat on a stick and were approached by the media to answer a few questions in front of the camera. Who better to do that than @katepeckme (or Кейт Пек as she will now be known) from @ausmotoshow. She arsed her way through the president's security earlier and shook his hand. Fireworks are going off as I type this after midnight. Been a big day in Mongolia. Onto the bikes tomorrow! #naadamfestival #naadam #mongolia🇲🇳 #mongolianmaniacs #himalayanheroes #КейтПек

A week earlier, a few of the riders struggled with water crossings like this but after a week in the saddle, the riders didn't think twice and just went straight through. It's great to see everyone improve so much. If you're keen for an adventure, send me a message and let's make it happen. #himalayas #highhimalayas #himalayanheroes #royalenfield #himalayan

When @fenwickbrabben3rd said "jump on my shoulders" he didn't expect me to actually do it. He couldn't back out once I had my thighs on either side of his head though. Nothing like a shot of adrenaline! Fen & I are heading back to Nepal to conquer the Mustang Valley again in November and we've got space for four more people to join us. Let's go! ✈️🇳🇵🏍️🏔️ #stairwaytoheaven #nepal #suspensionbridge #suspensioncrossing #ontheshoulders

The boys were having too easy a day so I took off and came to a hairpin with a dirt road offshoot. I parked in the middle of the road and pointed the riders down the dirt road which forced them to cross this running water. Some did it better than others but it woke them all up! . When we got back onto the tarmac, they realised what I had done so I took off with the wet riders chasing me. The support crew had a laugh. Good fun 😆 .

What Drives Us...

How often do we say to ourselves “I’m gonna do that one day!” If like me, you’ve been saying it but never actually did anything about it, then hopefully the following true story will change your life…as it did mine. A number of years ago Allen, a friend of mine fell sick while working overseas. Allen was a tough bloke who’d never complain of being ill. He was always the last man standing. For him to make the decision to fly home to Perth, Australia to see a doctor meant he thought something was wrong…very wrong. I had arranged to catch up with Allen after he’d seen the doctor, so when my phone rang and Allen’s name came up on the screen, I was expecting him to organise a quiet drink at the pub. Instead it was his wife calling to say Allen was dead. Allen was in his early 40’s, had been married for 10 years and had two awesome boys. Allen’s business was going well but draining a lot of his time. His family life was pretty good for someone who spent a lot of time working on the other side of the world and any time at home was spent with the family. This was ok with Allen, however when we did meet, he would often tell me of the things he was going to do. He wanted to cross the Nullarbor with his boys to see the F1 Grand Prix in Melbourne, he wanted to take his wife to Thailand for a week, he wanted to “chill” on the beaches of the Bahamas.
