Joris – The Eastern Trail Nirvana

Building and riding a route from Belgium to the Pamir mountains in Tajikistan, over unused gravel and sand trails while avoiding populated areas as much as possible. With these goals in mind Joris Ooms went to work which resulted in "The Eastern Trail Nirvana". An intense low-budget and 15.000km long nature trip with forests and high flats, steppes and deserts, mountains and rivers, all while riding his trusted and old Suzuki DR650. Deep sand, sticky mud, fords, cold nights in the tent and sweating in the hot deserts far away from shade.. All ingredients for a nice adventure were there in a rather short timeframe.
 
These rarely used trail sections provided wonderful sights which were recorded on picture and video. In this presentation the best shots taken from ground level or in the air will be presented on large screen with accommodating stories and anekdotes.
