“What an adventure! I learned a lot about myself. This group of men was amazing and I've been nourished by the relationships we have built along the way. Sometimes easy, blissful and sometimes more difficult but always right. Thank you Gonçalo. Thanks to all of you brothers. It was good to share this time with you.”
Rudy Augsburger (2024)
“It was an experience on many fronts: the Country, the People, the Food, the Yoga & Meditation, the Religion and Spirituality, the Inner Journey reflecting on oneself, and the motorcycling of course! I've never had such a fulfilling trip. I didn't take back home a pearl, but a necklace of pearls. Sharing my experience with friends has been tremendous, all of them noticing a positive change in my behavior and outlook of life.”
Tobias Pieck (2023)
“To anyone who is in any doubt if this trip is worth it, the answer is a 100% yes. It is the opportunity to explore yourself, meet fantastic people. All in all, a game changer for your live, if you accept and let be.”
Leigh Barber (2024)
“I went on this journey to discover something about myself, both mentally and physically. I learnt I came from a place of toxic masculinity as a result of my up bringing, this trip helped me realise and set a path away from this, experiencing other man open up as they did is something I aspire too, I acknowledge this will take time though. There were also realisations about myself that only came to light during the sharing circles which has been valuable, and have subsequently sent me on a path of further discovery back in the real world. ”
Nolan Collins (2024)
“This is an amazing experience for those ready to enjoy the journey fully. Amazing views, scenery and company that I've never experienced before. Well worth the investment.”

René Bos (2019)
“All my expectations about adventure and brotherhood have been met and surpassed. Gonçalo is a great leader and yoga teacher. He knows his way around Ladakh. I would like to recommend it to anyone up for an adventure that includes deepening of the connection with yourself and fellow brothers, riding a motorcycle through beautiful, wondrous landscapes and integrating this all with yoga and lots of fun!”
Tiago Lacerda (2023)
“I attended this retreat for the second time and I'm not sure it will be the last. It is a life changing experience.”
Emmanuel Waeytens (2022)
“When I turned 50, I was looking for a gift for myself, a space in my life where I could have time for myself, and think about the future. I decided to offer myself a motorcycle trip in Ladakh. After a few searches, I found the Journey to Ladakh experience, offering a good balance between riding, adventure, spirituality and friendship. This offered me the possibility to discover a spectacular region, while being a part of an amazing band of brothers, coming from different horizons, but with the same expectations and deep sense of respect. This journey fulfilled all my expectations and energized me. ”
Richard Ohneis (2023)
“Truly an amazing adventure. On this trip i did not only discover the beautiful region of Ladakh, but also new things about myself. The journey was sometimes quite demanding, but also extremely rewarding.”
Stephen Morse (2022)
“It fulfilled both inner and outer elements in profound ways. Being in one of the most beautiful places on earth on a motorcycle is truly inspiring, while focusing on internal work, which was enlightening. The journey of ups and downs, suffering and surmounting physical and mental challenges, and being with a like group of riders as we explored this mystical place, was one of the most significant ventures of my recent travel life. ”
Klaus Seidenfaden (2022)
“This journey belongs high in your bucket list. The pictures don't lie. You will bring back lasting memories, new friendships, and possibly new insights that will impact your life trajectory. Go, while you have the chance!”
Tiago Lacerda (2019)
“I had a life changing experience. I had never tried anything similar to yoga and realized the journey would be incomplete without both the yoga and the men circling. The stretching of both body and mind complement the ride in the most amazing roads I ever rode. Gonçalo knows all the region and has friends all over the way, sharing his knowledge and special places I’d never dreamed of. I’m sure I’ll join one of the next trips. Thanks brother for this amazing experience. Namaste”
Philip Lasarre (2023)
“It’s a three week adventure in India, riding a motorcycle almost every day, and doing a bit of soul searching. This is a once in a lifetime event for a very reasonable price. Anyone looking for a new adventure and enlightenment should do this Journey. ”
Paul Sylvester (2022)
“My dream of riding motorcycles to Ladakh was born 10 years earlier, but never came to fruition because a typical motorcycle tour was not compelling enough for me to leave my family for 3 weeks. When I was introduced to this journey, the YES was immediate and final. The idea of sharing the experience with other men who were also signing up for a conscious journey on motorcycles seemed like the perfect trip. And, in a way, it was perfectly imperfect. The scenery was spectacular, the riding days varied nicely, and the cultural and spiritual elements were significant. There were many lessons learned through the minor hardships, frustrations and imperfections encountered along the way, but the whole team approached them in a mature and conscious manner and we all grew from them, as one would expect from a group of men who undertook this journey for both the inner and outer experiences.”
