About myself
Traveling and exploring has always been one of my main interests in life. As a boy I traveled the world in books and maps. This influenced my decision to study tourism economics at University of Prague. I really started traveling in the 1990s, when I first set eyes on the Himalayas as a mountaineer. Since then I have visited Nepal and India more than 20 times, often as a tour guide. Since 2000, I have focused my travel attention on Northwest Arctic Canada and Alaska, which I have kayaked or canoed on various rivers alone or in pairs. For several months at a time, thousands of kilometres away from the nearest civilisation.
In the last five years I started going back to India and Nepal again. During my travels, I had the opportunity to meet many interesting people and exchange my travel experiences with them. Thanks to personal contacts in my favourite places and thanks to the knowledge of local conditions, I decided to offer journeys to those interested in learning about these fascinating places that are mostly beyond the reach of ordinary tourism. This led me to found the travel agency Cestarius.
As a travel agency, we offer the mediation of sightseeing tours and active experience holidays in places rarely visited by tourists in Canada, Greenland, Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and Bali, as well as with the possibility of arranging a so-called tailor-made tours. As I am not a fan of anonymously operating travel agencies, I rely on a personal, individual approach.

After traveling through southern India, the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, I set off on an Enfield to Nepal. We got to know the amazing landscape, mountains and plains. You drive from hill to hill, steep ascents and sharp descents, on decent asphalt, but also on roads full of unexpected holes, on gravel, field and forest roads, over stones and fords of rivers and streams, along muddy sections. The breathtaking views of the world's highest mountains are breathtaking. Traveling on a motorcycle across Nepal is a wonderful experience for real Men. I don't recommend it to salon types, they could have especially significant psychological problems.

Hello. Milan and I took a trip on Enfields to the Mustang Kingdom. Milan was a guide exactly according to our taste. The style: "I haven't been there, but if you want, we can try" suited us completely. We drove through many side roads, where probably no one has gone before. We got to 4,800 m above sea level. It was an absolute blast. Milan is a wealth of knowledge and experience and was incredibly patient with our bunch of total morons. Don't hesitate and go for it too. I've seen a lot before, but a trip to Mustang is really a blast.

My first motorcycle trip, and certainly not my last. Great organization, itinerary, flexibility and accommodation. Milan is a professional :) I would recommend India to everyone, beautiful country, culture, beautiful mountains, beaches, cuisine, selfless people, great weather and crazy traffic. All this with the sound of an Enfield, what more could you ask for!

We rode an Enfield through Nepal, I don't know how to write about it because it can't be described, it has to be experienced. It's certainly not easy, but it's worth it.

I recommend trips with Milan to anyone who likes motorbikes and a bit of adventure. Amazing nature, mountains, sandy beaches, warm seas, delicious Indian food and unforgettable road traffic without rules, where the horn must work especially on the vehicle. Whoever blows the horn first has priority. I toured South India with a great crew. I will go to Nepal next year. Milan's trips are very well organized and he deals with unexpected situations, which are never in short supply in these countries.

Traveling with Milan in and around Indian Kerala left a strong impression on me. If you're looking for beach-rolling and All-inclusive vacations, this is not the right choice for you. However, if you are of a more adventurous nature, don't hesitate. From beautiful nature to great food to the wildness of the Indian metropolis. Here in South India there is nothing missing. As a bonus, you'll be dealing with some of the warmest natives you've ever met. Despite all the obstacles that the trip threw our way, thanks to Milan, we sailed through the vacation without any major difficulties. We arrived as two and two friends, we left as four good friends. Good luck to Royal Enfield!
