    Great video and ride! I have a pair of the same tandem. And did across USA and Canada but never thought of doing Manali- Leh! It's incredible!

    Dear Laura and weyman , first of all i would like to greet your attempt , passion to the cycling and also you are one the most lucky husband in the world!!!!!!!. You people made ME to think- "' The life is endless, with unstoppable adventure "( Thanks a lot for visiting my country)

    Touring on a tandem is about having a special relationship with each other, your bike and the world, good work.

    My partner and I cycled the entire stretch of the Manali-Leh highway with four others finishing off with the climb up the Khardung La in August 2015. As you menntioned in your video certain things you just couldn't prepare for, the crazy dreams, the tingling lips ( one of our cycling compatriots who is a doctor said it was from taking diamox to help allay the symptoms of altitude sickness) the truck convoys and the condition of many stretches of the road tested you to your absolute limit, but was an experience we will never forget and hope to do another himalayan adventure in the next few years. Thanks for sharing.

      Diamox doesn't help against AMS and it's very toxic, it causes neuropathy (inflammation of the nerves).

    Bernie and I have followed all your trips. We are on the tandem and getting a bit older so our trips get a bit shorter. After 41 years married we do maintain and offer up the advice that which ever way your relationship is going a tandem will get there faster! We are heading off to Canada for a short trip next week. Congratulations on your wedding and always peddle on in all you do. We love your videos and we do want to come ride in Australia. Hope we can make it down under before we go under, or the old folks home!! Take care.

    Thank you for this video, I enjoyed watching every minute of it. I thought the views would be at least a hundred thousand by the way it is shot and put together! You two look lovely, and I'm really happy that you managed to complete your epic journey! I'm a little bit more inspired now to take on a long journey of my own.

    Simple and beautiful travelogue. People in India have hardly seen any tandem bike so they get excited when they see one. and, if i was in Laura's place, i would definitely want to switch seats, atleast during descent.
    Cheers to you guys..nd your adventure spirit. Keep travelling, keep exploring, and keep loving. nd be safe.

We have been loving your Nordic videos of late - it looked like a great trip. Laura and I are going to the Philippines in April. Laura will be doing some work for PETA based in Manilla and I will try and see much of the place with a bike as possible. But no big tours planned at the moment. Too busy working for the MAN! Hope we can all catch up one day :)
