Tour Nature & Physical Demands Our loop tours involve traveling on mountain roads with some winding sections and occasional short walks or hikes along the way (typically 1–3 km per day). While the experience is adventurous, it is designed to be accessible for guests with a reasonable level of fitness and mobility.
Health & Fitness We suggest that participants have a moderate level of fitness and be able to walk comfortably for around 5 km in one hour. If you have any health conditions or concerns about your physical ability, please let us know in advance. Our team is happy to discuss your situation and help you select the most appropriate option.
Age & Travel Options
We welcome guests of all ages and offer flexibility between motorbike and SUV/private car options:
Children (ages 6–15): Must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. The SUV option is generally more suitable for this age group due to the nature of mountain roads.
Guests aged 60 and above: Many of our guests in this age group comfortably travel as pillion on motorbikes. However, the SUV option provides more comfort and less physical demand if preferred. We are happy to accommodate your choice based on your comfort level.
Daily Safety Practices Each morning, our guides hold a short safety briefing to go over the day’s route, current weather, and road conditions. We monitor conditions throughout the day and make adjustments when needed to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort. Helmets are provided and must be worn at all times when riding.
Support During the Tour Our guides carry first aid kits and are experienced in managing situations on remote mountain routes. We have identified medical facilities along our routes and maintain clear communication protocols in case of any unexpected events. Our priority is to support every participant and respond thoughtfully to any situation that may arise.
A Note on Preparation Mountain travel involves some inherent variables, such as weather and road conditions. We prepare thoroughly for each tour and make every effort to ensure a smooth and safe journey. We also encourage guests to have appropriate personal travel insurance that covers adventure activities.
If you have any questions about your suitability for the tour or would like to discuss which option works best for you, please feel free to reach out. We are always happy to help.
