Il y a une rubrique sur le Kyrgyzstan dans ce lien mais très limitée !
Merci !

Cycletech Papalagi Touring: avis d'utilisateurs? English translation pending
Salut à tous,
Je recherche des informations sur le Cycletech Papalagi Touring (http://www.mtb-cycletech.de/).
http://www.mtbcycletech.com/web/mtb/data/bikes/papalagi_touring/colors/0/image/papalagi_touring.jpg
J'ai entendu dire qu'il prenait toute sa dimension une fois chargé, mais personnellement je cherche plus à savoir comment ce vélo se comporte à vide. Je ne suis vraiment pas fan des roues de 26" et surtout des géométries VTT/VTC qui y sont généralement associées, mais là je suis intéressé. C'est un vélo avec une géométrie assez proche d'un vélo de route mais qui a des roues de 26". Ca veut dire que je pourrais éventuellement l'utiliser pour ce que je fais en ce moment (des longues distances allure tranquille, principalement centuries ou brevets 400km, etc...), mais aussi pour voyager chargé occasionnellement.
Je vais visiter le stand de MTB-Cycletech à la Freizeit- und Reisemesse de Munich ce weekend, donc je vais pouvoir leur poser directement des questions, mais bon je connais les discours de ce genre de foire, c'est des relations publiques et ils essaient aussi de vendre leur beefsteak, ce qui est normal. C'est pour ça que je demande l'avis d'utilisateurs, comment le vélo se comporte-t-il non chargé ?

Which SIM card for Japan?
Hi there,
I’m planning a 3-week trip to Japan in May with Voyage Privé. The package includes a 5 GB eSIM, but my phone isn’t new enough to support it. VP told me I could buy a SIM card when I arrive at the airport. Sure enough, I’ve seen online that this is possible with different providers. I only need it for checking routes, looking up addresses, train schedules, etc.—basically using Google Maps, TripAdvisor, and similar apps. No heavy downloads or major internet use. All hotels should provide free Wi-Fi for that, right? Has anyone got any tips for me on this? What have you tried, and how much did it cost? Thanks for your help!

Does Nile Air operate a route between Cairo and Sharm El Sheikh?
Hi there,
I’ve been trying unsuccessfully to run a simulation on Nile Air’s website for a flight from SSH Sharm to Cairo, but it keeps crashing every time. I’ve tried several dates. I have flights with Egyptair or Air Cairo, but it seems like Nile Air’s prices are much more interesting. Does anyone know if they have daily flights or not? Thanks, and happy holidays to everyone.

Is a local SIM card or an eSIM better for Morocco?
Hi there,
For a 3-week trip to Morocco, what would be your advice for using your phone locally (to book accommodation, chat with a host on the road, etc.)? Is it better to buy an eSIM before leaving, get a local SIM card once there, or are there other options?
Thanks for sharing your good and bad experiences!
7-week trip feedback: Rajasthan and Varanasi, October-November-December 2025
We traveled as a couple from October 20 to December 11, 2025, for our second trip to India and our first time in Rajasthan, plus Mathura and Agra, which are in Uttar Pradesh but right on the border, and a 4-day flight hop to Varanasi.
Here’s a non-detailed trip report—just to share some info we found useful for other travelers, along with a few places and addresses we particularly enjoyed.
First off, a big thank you to (I’m using usernames) Aleph240758, Solene40, Montagnard74, and Pagaljavab, who took the time to reply to me. Some of them even take the time to create detailed and illustrated travel stories. Since I only started planning the trip in mid-August, I didn’t have much time and used the trip reports on VoyageForum to build our itinerary.
One more note: everyone travels differently and has their own preferences... so I’ll just share our personal feelings, which are obviously subjective.
We bought a physical SIM card upon arriving at the airport. The Airtel stand only offers one package for 500 rupees (just under 5 €) for 28 days, with 1.5 GB of data, unlimited national SMS, and calls—more than enough. Contrary to what we’d read, we asked for activation at the counter, and it was active within 10 minutes. The SIM worked well everywhere. Watch out—like in all airports, there’s a tendency to take advantage of tourists. The Airtel counter offers to exchange money directly, and we saw people paying 20 € for the SIM.
Since we arrived at night, the metro wasn’t running anymore. Plus, if you don’t know the city, we’d recommend taking a prepaid taxi—the price is fixed, and the driver knows the destination. Be careful: the prepaid taxi counter is on the right as you exit the hall, with large fixed signs above. Many counters put out a card on the desk saying "prepaid taxi," and even the Airtel stand tries to offer supposedly prepaid taxis, which is completely false. The price they ask for could be double or triple.
Here’s an app that was super useful for us In most big cities, we used "Rapido," an Indian app like Uber, to book auto-rickshaws (you can also book motorbikes or cars). You need a local phone number for this. The big advantage? The price is fixed, though you can still leave a tip. It tracks your ride, and most importantly, the destination is entered—way more practical than hailing an auto-rickshaw on the street, where the driver says "yes, yes," gives a price, and then doesn’t know where to go once you’re on the way. No need to enter a credit card. There’s also OlaCabs, which is similar, but we couldn’t get it to work.
For transportation between stops, we used government buses (RSRTC, blue buses), sometimes taxis via apps or by asking the guesthouse for visits and hard-to-reach places. This choice was really personal and made on the spot. - **Pros:** Buses leave almost every 30 minutes everywhere, giving you a lot of freedom. Every time we left from the bus station (bus stand), we had seats. Several times, we even got to sit in the driver’s cabin! The trip takes longer than a taxi, but not *that* much longer. The price is ridiculously low—1.30 € for 100 km for men, 70 cents for women. The bus stations are in the city centers, unlike many private bus companies. We met some great people. - **Cons:** It’s not exactly clean, and you’re obviously not in the comfort of a taxi. It’s not door-to-door service, so you need to travel light. You can’t stop along the way. If you need to catch the bus mid-route, it’s usually full, and you’ll have to elbow your way in without hesitation. For a short trip, I think hiring a taxi for the whole stay makes sense. Like I said, there’s no one-size-fits-all choice, but there’s no need to be apprehensive about taking public buses.
Here’s our route map, showing the number of nights spent at each stop.
Compared to our initial plan, we slept one night in Barmer instead of two because we had time to visit the market in the afternoon, saw the Kiradu site the next morning, and didn’t see the point in staying longer.
We cut two of the six nights in Shekhawati. After our flight to Varanasi was canceled, we had to stay in Delhi, which actually turned out well—it let us arrive in Varanasi earlier and more rested.
The timing worked well for us, with longer stops in Bundi and Udaipur.
I won’t go into detail about each stop here, but I’d be happy to answer any questions. The accommodations and restaurants mentioned are the ones that had that little something extra, and the hearts (❤️❤️❤️) mark the sites we particularly loved.
Tijana Fort Palace - Accommodation and recovery from the trip
Alwar - Palace with museum - Moosi Maharani Ki Chhatri - Large reservoir
Bharatpur Accommodation: Iora Guesthouse, 14 €/night without breakfast—great value, cheap, good meals, close to the reserve Morning at Keoladeo Reserve by bike
Mathura - Ghats (Yamuna Ghats, Vishram Ghat) to visit in the evening - Market (Chattu Bazar) - Hindu temple Shri Dwarkadheesh dedicated to Krishna - Vrindavan temple Banke Bihari, ❤️❤️❤️ a very important temple with incredible religious fervor - Vrindavan Hindu temple Balaram ISKCON
Agra Accommodation: Shivalayaa - The Divine Abode, 16 €/night with breakfast on Booking—welcoming, clean, close to the Taj Mahal - Mausoleum of Akbar the Great (in Sikandra) ❤️❤️❤️ - Mausoleum of Itimad-ud-Daulah (mini Taj) ❤️❤️❤️ - Visit the Taj early in the morning (closed on Fridays) ❤️❤️❤️ - Agra Fort ❤️❤️❤️
Dholpur - Machkund Temple with its water body - Clock Tower Ghanta Ghar - Royal stepwell Dhaulpur Bavdi
Karauli - City Palace, private visit with a guard ❤️❤️❤️ - Shri Madan Mohan Temple for the puja starting at 5:30 PM ❤️❤️❤️ - Wandering the streets We loved this stop, which is off the main tourist trail, for its pleasant atmosphere
Bhandarej This is a stop as a starting point to visit the Chand Baori stepwell in Abhaneri ❤️❤️❤️ Accommodation: Bhadrawati Palace, 53 €/night with breakfast in Bhandarej—nice, an old palace, warm welcome, booked via Hotels.com We were the only guests and had dinner with the current manager, the grandson of the Maharaja. There’s a pretty stepwell in the village, and we visited a tiny neighborhood temple where we were invited to join in the singing and dancing. Walking through the market was really enjoyable because of the kindness of the locals, who aren’t used to tourism ❤️❤️❤️
Jaipur - Hawa Mahal (Palace of Winds) - Jal Mahal - Gaitore Ki Chhatriyan ❤️❤️❤️ - Amber Fort ❤️❤️❤️ - Panna Meena Ka Kund stepwell - Galta Ji Temple (Monkey Temple) ❤️❤️❤️ - Bagru, 33 km away: visit to a fabric printing workshop with block prints (I’d noted some addresses on Google Maps). The first workshop wasn’t very welcoming and had no workers because of the humid weather. We were lucky to find another, more welcoming workshop. When the sun came out, the three female workers arrived and started their work—it was a great visit ❤️❤️❤️.
Bundi Accommodation: Hotel Bundi Inn, 25 €/night with breakfast—lovely room in a haveli, good meals with a rooftop view of the fort - Garh Palace Don’t miss: at the exit of the palace, to the left, you can access a beautiful garden with a pool and, at the back, a large hall called Chitrashala ❤️❤️❤️ - Raniji Ki Baori ❤️❤️❤️ - Nahar Dhunk Ki Baori - Chaurasi Khambun Ki Chhatri (cenotaph with 84 pillars) - Ksar Bagh, an interesting set of royal cenotaphs at the end of Jait Sagar Lake. On the other hand, we could’ve skipped Sukh Mahal and its museum. Bundi is still pleasant but is no longer a secret spot.

What type of car for the Atlas?
Hi there, in mid-January my wife and I are leaving from Marrakech heading to the Atlas (Essaouira ==> Dades ==> Merzouga ==> Draa Valley) before finally making our way to Taghazout near Agadir for 2 or 3 days.
The route ends up looking like this, except for the end where we head toward the ocean. https://www.les-covoyageurs.com/ressources/images-produits/photo-produit-29-carte.jpg?v=6
I’m hesitating about renting a car, and since I don’t know the road conditions, I’d like to know if a Dacia Sandero is enough for this kind of trip?
Another thing making me hesitate is the possibility of rain and roads being less passable.
I’m reaching out to more experienced travelers who can share their advice, of course.
Thanks in advance

Buying tickets for the Colosseum (Rome)
Hi there,
I’m heading to Rome soon and wanted to book my tickets for the Colosseum.
I found the official site, but I don’t understand when it’s possible to make a reservation.
Apparently, it’s 30 days in advance for the underground tour since everything is already booked up for the next 30 days...
But what about the Colosseum + Arena visit? The site shows tickets for the next 7 days, but nothing after that. Are tickets released just a week in advance for this combo, not 30 days?
Thanks for any clarification! !

Which 4x4 and excursions to choose in Iceland in June?
Hi there, we’re a group of 4 adults planning a road trip around Iceland from May 29 to June 19. Since the Landcruiser is too expensive, we’d like to suggest another 4x4 to the agency. We can choose our own excursions and plan to hike Landmannlaugar (June 1) and Hveradalir (May 31). Do you know if they’ll be open by then? We’re hoping so!...
Back to the 4x4—what would you recommend: Toyota Rav4, Dacia Bigster, or Kia Sorento?
Also, do you think the artificial ice cave will be open around June 17?
Thanks for your advice! Christianede

Tips for a 9-day itinerary in southern Morocco
Hi there!
As mentioned in a previous post, we're heading to Morocco in April for 9 days instead of the originally planned 7.
Here's the itinerary I've mapped out to ideally have a complete trip, but I think it might be too ambitious. What do you think? Here's the itinerary (click)
For those who can't open the link: Marrakech (the afternoon of our arrival + 1 day, we’ve already been there without the kids, the goal is not to stay too long) – night Aït Ben Haddou Ouarzazate Skoura – night Oasis de Fint Dadès Gorges Tinghir – night Merzouga – night Zagora – night M’hamid – ideally a night in the desert Agdz Marrakech – night (itinerary via Telouet)
What do you think of this plan? Will it feel too rushed, or is it manageable? Since we don’t know the places, it’s hard to tell if we’ll want to stop everywhere along the way or if there’s enough time to spend at each spot. I’ve included some night-stop assumptions (1 or 2 nights).
We’d love to hear your thoughts! We’re traveling with my wife, a 13-year-old teen, and a 10-year-old. We’ll have our own rental car.

Visiting collective granaries in Morocco
Hello everyone,
I’m currently planning our next trip to Morocco. We really enjoy visiting one or two collective granaries on each of our trips. We’ve seen some already, like the one in Aït Kine, or the one in Tasguent, and of course those in Amtoudi, as well as the cliffside granary of Ifri. There are still many left to explore. I’d love to hear which ones you’d recommend—preferably ones that aren’t too hard to access. I’m counting on you! Thanks
1-week loop: Marrakech - Dades - Merzouga or Zagora?
Hello,
For a week-long trip starting from Marrakech with a rental car, if you had to choose between these two loops, which one would you go for and why? 1) Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Dades Gorges - Merzouga - Marrakech (map itinerary) 2) Marrakech - Ouarzazate - Dades Gorges - Zagora - Marrakech (map itinerary)
Important info: this is for mid-February, so nights will be cold. For option 1, we’re thinking of staying in a "solid" hotel in Merzouga rather than camping in a tent without heating (our 10-year-old might not like that ^^). If you’ve got any experience to share about cold winter nights in the desert while camping, that’d be super helpful!
Thanks so much in advance!

Condition of the track from Afellah Ighir to the N7 (Morocco)
Hi,
Does anyone know the current condition of the track from Afellah Ighir to the N7 north of Imitek, passing by the Akka Mines?
About 57 km total, with the first 14 km (up to the Mine) paved and the rest unpaved.
Thanks in advance
Agencies in Vietnam for excursions
Hi! We’d like to work with local agencies to organize tours to Halong Bay, the Mekong Delta, etc. There are so many agencies in Vietnam—any you’d recommend?
From the Tamazight Land to the Merzouga Dunes – Morocco
For our first post-COVID trip outside Europe, we’ve chosen a North African destination: Morocco.
I’ve already visited this country four times, but my partner has never set foot there.
Since we both prefer wide-open spaces over even imperial cities, our itinerary will focus on nature and villages.
Starting point: Casablanca, easily accessible with a direct flight from Lyon.
Our ride: a Dacia Logan, perfect for navigating roads turned into Swiss cheese by corruption and the weather.
Stops: Demnate, Aït Ben Haddou, the Dadès Gorges, N'Kob, Zagora, the Todhra Gorges, the Merzouga dunes, Tinejdad, Agoudal, Lake Bin El Ouidane, the Vallée Heureuse, the Ouzoud waterfalls, and finally El Jadida.
Season: November, when there’s no tourist pressure. Sure, it can be chilly, but what peace and quiet!
You can find the details of our journey beyond the Rif here.
Happy reading!
And if you have any questions or comments, don’t hesitate!

SIM card and phone plan in Portugal
Hi there,
I’ll be passing through Portugal for a month. Any recommendations for choosing a SIM card and a phone plan with heavy internet usage? Something like a 100GB 4G plan. Do you know how much that would cost?
Have a great summer!

Quel est ce lieu en Belgique? English translation pending
Bonjour à tous,
Ce message s'adresse aux Belges Je cherche un lieu en Belgique en ayant pour seuls indices : - les deux photos - un lien internet http://www.soulphotography.be/project/fernand-larracheur-de-dents/ - une maison abandonnée blanche ayant appartenu à un dentiste Si quelqu'un aurait une idée de la ville en question je suis preneuse merci !

Possibilité de circuit dans l'Ouest canadien en octobre? English translation pending
Bonjour,
On avait prévu de partir 2 semaines dans l'Ouest américain aux vacances de la Toussaint (17/10 au 01/11).
Comme cela semble très compromis, je me demande s'il serait possible faire un circuit dans l'ouest canadien au départ de Vancouver.
Cela donnerait un parcours du genre : Vancouver > Clearwater < Jasper > Banff > Kelowna > Ile de Vancouver Soit 2000 km, 22h sans compter l'extension sur l'île de vancouver
L'idée serait de commencer au plus vite par les Rocheuses, sachant qu'on est très avancés dans la saison. Même s'il peut y avoir des fluctuations d'une année sur l'autre, y a t-il un risque sérieux de route coupée entre Clearwater et Jasper déjà au 18/10 ?
Les parcs Glacier NP, Mount revelstoke NP, Kootenay NP restent-ils plus facilement accessibles en cas d'hiver précoce, ou alors serions-nous obligés de nous cantonner à Vancouver et à l'île de vancouver en cas de mauvais temps ?
Des idées de visite dans la région de Vancouver, sachant qu'on n'est pas trop musée, et est-ce que cela vaut le coup d'y passer 2 semaines si on doit zapper les parcs nationaux dans les régions de Jasper et Banff ? Merci !
