My disappointing experience with Glabol on a Spiti bike trip

I did a Spiti bike trip with Glabol from 15–21 June 2026 and wanted to share my experience with fellow riders.
The accommodation was different from what was promised, with some rooms and washrooms being extremely unhygienic. Their Operations executive, Yash, promised us a refund for one stay, but despite repeated follow-ups, we never received it and eventually stopped getting responses.
The riding gear was also poor — no proper knee guards, and the jackets were dirty and smelled bad. One rider in our group had a minor accident and suffered serious bruising to his knees.
The bikes were in poor condition too, and almost everyone in our group had complaints. One rider was charged ₹6,000 for repairs, which we felt was excessive.
I’ve travelled with several group travel companies, but this was easily one of my worst experiences.
If you’re planning a Spiti bike trip, especially as an inexperienced rider, please research the operator carefully. Sharing this simply so fellow riders can make an informed decision.
