点评:What can we say – 4th trip with Mountain Bike Kerala and an absolute banger!!
On Mountain Bike Kerala’s website it states they aim to ‘offer the best riding in India and provide the full Indian off the bike experience’. Quite simply, Mike and the team delivered above and beyond and we had another fabulous trip with so many memories to treasure. Excellent riding, gob-smacking scenery, delicious food, great company and the best experience combining India and mountain biking!
The logistics are incredible and went like clockwork; some feat when you consider booking the nights in the trekking huts relies on messages being delivered in person by someone trekking up to the huts as there is no phone signal!
Our bike guides were the trusty Deepak and Pankaj; Deepak is a top rider and excellent bike guide – great lines accompanied by various entertaining commentary - and what this man can’t arrange isn’t worth talking about. Off the bike he’s excellent company, enjoying the games we take along and keeping us on our toes. Pankaj, also an excellent rider, loves to giggle, is always turned out well on the bike, can eat an incredible amount of dhal and rice – he hates waste – and has excellent mountaineering knowledge. The bonus on this trip was getting to visit the places that Deepak and Pankaj come from and meeting their family.
The trip required porters to get our luggage and bikes to the highest point and negotiating a few tricky sections of washed out trail; at each section the porters were there to help us up and down; they were rock solid and inspired great confidence. Also our vehicle and driver were wonderful and did a superb job looking after us, our bikes and luggage.
The accommodation and food was second to none as always and we all found a new favourite eating place in Sameshwar; I’d recommend the trip for this place alone!
Mike never ceases to amaze us with his knowledge of the riding in India and his ability to put together the best experience you could possibly have. Nothing is too much trouble; he’s always calm, has a great sense of humour and can adapt on the spot if a change of plan is required. We’re just trying to work out what trip we can do next with him……….
翻译:我们能说什么呢——第四次参加 Mountain Bike Kerala 之旅,绝对棒极了!!
Mountain Bike Kerala 网站上称,他们的目标是“提供印度最好的骑行体验,并提供完整的印度骑行体验”。简而言之,Mike 和团队超出预期,我们又度过了一次美妙的旅行,留下了许多值得珍藏的回忆。骑行体验极佳,风景令人惊叹,食物美味,同伴很棒,印度和山地自行车的完美结合!
后勤工作令人难以置信,进展如计划般顺利;当您考虑预订徒步旅行小屋的夜晚时,有些壮举依赖于徒步旅行者亲自传达的信息,因为没有手机信号!
我们的自行车导游是值得信赖的 Deepak 和 Pankaj;Deepak 是顶级骑手和出色的自行车导游——很棒的路线,伴随着各种有趣的评论——这个人无法安排的事情不值得一提。下车时,他是个很棒的伙伴,喜欢我们一起玩的游戏,让我们保持警觉。 Pankaj 也是一名出色的骑手,他喜欢咯咯笑,骑自行车时总是表现得非常出色,可以吃大量的豆子和米饭——他讨厌浪费——并且拥有出色的登山知识。这次旅行的额外收获是能够参观 Deepak 和 Pankaj 的故乡并见到他们的家人。
这次旅行需要搬运工将我们的行李和自行车送到最高点,并穿越几段被冲毁的棘手路段;在每个路段,搬运工都在那里帮助我们上下山;他们坚如磐石,激发了我们极大的信心。我们的车辆和司机也很棒,他们出色地照顾了我们、我们的自行车和行李。
住宿和食物一如既往地首屈一指,我们都在萨梅什瓦尔找到了一个新的最喜欢的餐厅;仅凭这个地方,我就推荐这次旅行!
Mike 的印度骑行知识和他为您打造最佳体验的能力从未停止让我们惊叹不已。没有什么是太麻烦的;他总是很冷静,很有幽默感,如果需要改变计划,他可以当场适应。我们只是在想下次可以和他一起去哪里旅行……
