Australian adventurers can ride the currency market and save hundreds of dollars on adrenalin motorcycle tours in India and the Himalayas by paying all 2014 tours in Australian dollars instead of the usual pricing in US dollars.
With the Australian dollar dropping against the US currency, Australians can save up to around $303* by paying all 2014 tours listed in $US on www.extremebiketours.com in $AUD instead. The currency swap offer is available until July 31, 2013.
