A friend and I have just completed a 4 night 3 riding day tour in Montenegro organised by Wild Sherpas.
We flew out to Tivat Thursday morning and were met by one of the Wild Sherpas team at the airport and taken to a nearby hotel.
Jeffery, the company owner, met us for lunch to explain what was going to happen over the next few days and give us an opportunity to meet our 3 fellow riders. The rest of the day was ours to have a look around.
Tivat is a harbour town with some incredible super yachts to admire from the waterfront restaurants. Very nice place to spend the afternoon exploring or sitting with a cold beer watching the world go by.
Friday morning we were taken to Jeffrey’s premises to collect our bikes.
Wild Sherpas use 411 and 450 Royal Enfield Himalayans. As I own a 411 I opted to try out a 450.
The bikes are kitted out with soft panniers with plenty of space to carry your kit for 2 nights away and spare gloves, waterproofs etc.
You can leave any other luggage in his garage.
It seems the itinerary is fairly flexible as Jeffrey tries to avoid any localised bad weather or closed roads
I cannot say with any certainty which roads or route we took during the tour but where we rode was amazing.
Jeffrey tries his best to keep to the quiet roads with little or no traffic but breathtaking scenery and superb riding.
Theres a very good mix of riding. There was a small amount of major roads to cover distance when required but it’s no hardship. ( it’s certainly not the M6)
The rest were incredible. Faster sweeping bends on perfect tarmac to very tight single track roads high in the mountains. Wide open moor like areas to thick forrest. We did a little bit of pretty easy off road but nothing that would really worry an off-road virgin and Jeffery would always run it by the group first. Montenegro has some of the best riding I’ve ever done.
The Himalayans were perfect for this tour. Small and nimble and not intimidating but with enough go to really enjoy the ride.
Our second night was spent in Bar, a fairly large town with plenty of places to eat and relive the days riding over a beer.
The third night was in a small hotel outside a town called Kolašin.
There was a restaurant onsite so we ate there that evening.
I get the impression that accommodation isn’t fixed on these tours to try to ensure the best experience for customers.
At the end of the 3rd day we were dropped back at the hotel in Tivat for the night and dropped back at the airport in time for our flights home on Monday morning.
My friend did this tour last year and was full of praise which is why we did it this year.
It’s made me want to visit again and see more of the area but with my wife this time. Probably on my GSA and on larger roads that would suit me better two up on a bigger bike.
That said, if you’re solo or two up a Himalayan works for you and you don’t want to have to ride all the way to Montenegro this has to be the way to go.
Wild Sherpas also do a 5 riding day tour which obviously gives the opportunity to see more.
If you want a long weekend away with superb riding I can highly recommend getting in touch with Wild Sherpas.
