Every day of the trip had it's own quirks, the places you see, the people you meet, the places you stay at, the food you eat; everything comes with it's own unique charm.
A life changing experience, one that grounds you and makes you appreciate everyone and everything around you. Grateful to have had such an experience.
My guide/driver was Mr. Novang, he spoke fluent English, was well versed with the roads on the motorbike and accommodated each one of my needs. He's in this line of work because it truly brings him joy. He constantly checks on you to make sure you're doing well, and tends accordingly. Glad to have gotten to do the tour with him.
All the stays I'd been to were clean, welcoming and comfortable. The food was exquisite everywhere. You'd be surrounded by greenery and mountains for most of the loop, make sure to take a camera with you!
