Had a great tour with Narendra from Indian Rides around Rajasthan we stayed at some great locations and visited some historic forts and palaces we traveled two up on the Himalayan Enfield I can highly recommend this trip you would not regret choosing to travel with the team from Indian Rides.
Indian Rides (IR) is a motorcycle tour operator that specialises in tours in India only - from the very north to the very south of this massive country.
Established 20 years ago it has established and refined tours that go to the most interesting places by the best routes on all types of roads and great hotels. The food in Indian hotels and restaurants is excellent. Bottled water is readily available. They have a fleet of well maintained RE Bullet 500cc and some Himalayan bikes. You see the 'real' India, guided by people who know the country well. Depending on the region and time of year it can be hot and dusty in the day or chilly at night.
India is not like anywhere else and can be overwhelming with traffic and trash in towns but once acclimatised it is a great experience.
IR is a family owed business and they take very good care of you. We will go with them again. PB UK
I originally thought a motorcycle trip to the Himalayas was just about riding to the highest motorable point, how wrong was l?
From the start of the trip, coming in to land among the mountain peaks at Leh airport, to the end when we took off again seeing the mountains vanish beneath us it was an endlessly exciting experience which l don't think l will ever forget.
This is my 2nd trip with Indian Rides and as they are an Indian business run by a family who are all "petrol heads" they spend lots of time carefully researching and personally riding all routes before they offer them to their clients.
Due to this you not only visit and see everything but often you are "off piste" therefore seeing sights that other tourists miss.
The Himalayas with Indian Rides is exciting, awe inspiring and adrenaline filled so if you love biking just go.
Don't worry about being on your own as after just a few hours you will have made new friends for life.
Also, regardless of gender or age, you will be well looked after as the support crew and vehicles are with you all the time.

I have had the pleasure of traveling with #IndianRides twice, first for an exhilarating Leh-Ladakh adventure and then for a mesmerizing journey through Spiti Valley. Now, you might wonder why I chose them again for a completely different experience – a tribal exploration offbeat tour to Gujarat on Royal Enfield. Well, here are the reasons:
A. Local Expertise: The founders of Indian Rides are locals from Rajasthan. Their in-depth knowledge of routes, conditions, and challenges in the region is unparalleled. For my Gujarat tribal exploration, having experts familiar with the area and its unique aspects added a layer of assurance and peace to the journey.
B. Flexible Itinerary: Indian Rides offers a variety of itinerary options tailored to your available days. Whether it is covering major attractions or delving into offbeat paths, their itineraries are diverse, allowing you to customize your experience.
C. Accommodations: Just like my previous experiences, Indian Rides curated stays in scenic view hotels and quality tent camps. The accommodation choices, paired with delicious food, enhanced the overall experience of exploring Gujarat's tribal landscapes.
D. Community Bonding: Traveling in a large, unfamiliar group can be daunting, but Indian Rides excels in building a sense of team. From day one, you feel a friendly connection with every rider, fostering a positive and enjoyable group dynamic.
E. Backup Support: A reliable backup team with a skilled mechanic is crucial for any biking adventure. Indian Rides ensures that there is a robust support system in place, ready to tackle any challenges your Royal Enfield might encounter on the offbeat trails of India.
Overall, my experience with #IndianRides has been consistently outstanding, showcasing their ability to cater to diverse travel preferences. Whether conquering Himalayan heights or delving into the tribal tapestry of Gujarat, Indian Rides earns a big thumbs up for providing memorable and well- supported adventures in the unique landscapes of India.
As avid amateur wildlife photographers and motorcycle fans, who have explored South Africa, Botswana, and Tanzania, me and my wife decided to explore the national parks of India provided a unique and rich wildlife experience on Royal Enfiled. Indian Rides from India, recommended by a trusted US travel agent, proved exceptional in advice, attention to detail, congeniality, and cost-effectiveness.
Owners Narendra and Shakti Singh’s passion for wildlife shone through in planning our two-week journey. With a 11.5-hour time difference, Narendra's responsiveness impressed us, shaping an itinerary that included Kanha and Bandhavgarh national parks for tigers and Khajuraho visit in between.
Every aspect unfolded seamlessly. Transfers were punctual, lodges were best, and Indian cuisine, tailored for a milder palate, left us feeling well-fed. Private safari vehicles with remarkable naturalists made each park's exploration unique. Six major tiger sightings, rare encounters with a sloth bear and leopards, and a myriad of other wildlife made this journey unforgettable.
The late February to early March timing proved ideal, with improved visibility in Kanha and Bandhavgarh. Indian stands out as a top choice for an enriching and well-organized wildlife motorcycle adventure in Madhya Pradesh.
Our 15-day Rajasthan tour with Indian Rides was a truly impressive, tailor-made experience. Shakti Singh, our companion on another bike, crafted a fantastic itinerary, which he willingly adjusted based on our preferences discussed where we wanted to enjoy Indian festival. During the journey, he even added two days and additional sightseeing when we discovered a place we truly loved. The mix of heart-stoppingly beautiful sights and a variety of hotels, ranging from awe-inspiring to more modest ones, kept the adventure exciting without straining our budget.
His team struck the perfect balance – sociable yet not pushy, always informative, and excellent company throughout the trip. They managed every aspect, from navigating us through chaotic traffic, camels, tuk-tuks, and roadworks to ensuring we had guides at the attractions we visited. Their attention to detail extended to helping us check in and smoothing out every little interaction, creating an atmosphere where we felt well taken care of while enjoying a great adventure.
The 500cc Enfield Bullet motorcycle provided a thrilling ride, more than sufficient for two fairly large adults. Strapping a normal 90-liter rucksack on the back was a breeze. Our experience with Indian Rides was so fantastic that they would undoubtedly be our first choice for another trip. Do not hesitate – go with Indian Rides. You will not regret it.
I completed a fair amount of research before I booked with Indian Rides. The Forts and Palaces tour of Rajasthan was simply fantastic! The route selected took us off the usual tourist trails and into the rural heart of the region, where locals were very happy to meet us. This was combined with some stunning historical and architectural destinations. Accommodation was carefully selected and of a high standard. The Royal Enfield Bullets were well maintained and cared for daily by an enthusiastic two-man support team. Our tour leader had a detailed knowledge of the region and is a passionate motorcyclist. The pace of the ride was perfect, with frequent Chai tea and water stops. The Indian Rides team have an eye for detail and I’m already considering dates for my next adventure with them.
What an amazing trip, really well organised and all the staff and family of the owners were so helpful and looked after us throughout the whole time in India. You will see the real India if you travel with Indian Rides, can't thank you enough.
We had a great time riding a classic Royal Enfield motorcycle in Rajasthan and taking part in the Holi Festival! Doing the trip with an Indian company meant that we saw more 'real' India than would have been likely otherwise.
Accommodation was in hotels that used to be forts, palaces or the houses of rich merchants. The bikes were the 500cc classic model and were well maintained. The group was followed by a car with mechanic and driver carrying luggage, spares and water for the stops during the day. Narendra, our guide, was in radio contact with the car so if anyone stopped or was too far behind he could change pace as needed.
Riding a bike in India takes a lot of concentration! You quickly learn to deal with animals and people, bikes, cars and trucks in places and doing things that you wouldn't expect at home. It's very involving and great fun.
At the end of the riding tour it was lovely to meet Narendra's family before heading off for the final couple of days sightseeing.
Many thanks to the Indian Rides team!
Another great adventure with Indian Rides. We did the Rhajastan trip in 2016 with Naren and this year have just done the south of India with his brother Shakti. A small group of 7 people in total whom we got on with well. The adventure was over about twelve days and we rode about 1400 kms in all. Total security with a driver in front and another behind along with the mechanic 'doctor Ram'.
l would certainly recommend this trip which is fine for intermediate riders .....the hotels were great and most had a swimming pool so as to relax after a hard days riding.
We look forward to doing another trip with you before too long..........Thanks again for such a great time

Visiting India for the first time, this was an attack on my senses, and riding a bike through it made it ten times better. I went with four close mates, and we all agreed that riding a Royal Enfield is the perfect vehicle to tackle the varied roads we encountered. Most of the road is tarmac, but be prepared for tracks through villages, and a bit of soft sand. An average rider can deal with any of these roads which take you into the heart of Rajastan. From the moment we set foot in Delhi, we were made to feel so welcome. The hotels were an ideal balance between originality and comfort, and the food was excellent at every location. Narendra and his team have put so much thought and preparation into the Forts and Palaces tour that all I can do is recommend you go and see it yourself. Until you do, you won't appreciate the sunning place India is. I'm already planning my next trip.
I am a retired office worker who had once owned a 250cc Honda 30 years ago & ridden a few mopeds on holiday since then. I'd always wanted to visit India so when an old college friend suggested this tour I was easily persuaded. The trip more than lived up to my expectations. Travelling throughout rural India gave us all a fascinating insight into the culture & lifestyle of this developing country. I could write an essay on our experiences, however, for the purposes of this review I'll just mention salient points for anyone considering this holiday. Indian Rides are a fully independent Indian Company operating with financial support from government tourism grants. In the years they have been operating it is apparent they have developed a network of support people able to provide schedule flexibility & local knowledge. (One example - due to a strike The Taj Mahal visit looked doubtful, but IR organised an alternative route for us to by-pass the trouble). The standard of accommodation was excellent, often staying in atmospheric ancient forts in poor villages in the middle of sparse desert. The bikes were in excellent nick & were always cleaned & well maintained by the engineer. The support vehicle amazingly kept up with our brisk pace. The roads were generally good & we all enjoyed some off-road riding too. Although there were plenty of hazards on the roads (animals & flagrant flouting of normal road use by other vehicles) we never saw any accidents & if an inexperienced biker like me could cope with the conditions I'm sure most bikers would manage (with perhaps a heightened awareness of the potential dangers). Finally, I'd like to pay tribute to Narendra, the owner & our leader for the trip. He was approachable, informative, flexible & above all lead us with a noble responsibility for our safety & comfort.

I went with two friends on the South India Spice Route Tour in October 2018. It was absolutely amazing. I was quite worried about the trip because our destination of Kerala had been severely flooded the previous month. In the end there was nothing to worry about. Narendra, Vinktesh, Dolat and Ram made sure we were always safe having checked the routes out and preparing diversions in case they were needed.
The itinerary of the trip can be found on their website but essentially goes down the Eastern coast of India from Chennai to Pondicherry and then across the southern plains of Tamil Nadu, up into the mountains and tea plantations of Kerala then down to the coast and lakes.
The sights i saw will stay with me forever and there is nothing like riding a motorbike through traffic in Indian cities. All the routes we rode had views of the real countryside and places of interest to visit.
Every night Narendra had picked a fantastic hotel for us to stay in. This was either for its luxury or historical interest. The food was delicious throughout the trip but you need to like curry if you are visiting India.
I can't recommend this trip enough.
We plan to go back and use the same company for one of their other trips next year.
"I have already gone on two incredible journeys with Indian Rides on the back of a Royal Enfield motorcycle, and I can confidently say they are top-notch. The most recent one was a mesmerizing blend of culture and color as we partook in the most vibrant celebration on the planet – Holi in India. Our ride took us to Mandawa, where we were fortunate enough to revel in the Festival of Colors with the Royal family. Under the guidance of Mr. Narendra, each trip has been unique, marked by meticulous attention to detail, exceptional trip leaders, and a single, professional point of contact. Now, eagerly anticipating my third adventure on the Royal Enfield!"
Absolutely Delighted with the Selection of Heritage Hotels and Locations!
Narendra and Gopika Singh orchestrated a brilliantly organized trip. Despite booking for a large family of bikers from Newzealand we got every thing organised in last minutes, they secured an amazing deal. The service was not only thorough and timely but also accommodated all our requests with a single interaction. Every service provider, guide, and mechanical team we encountered displayed courtesy and helpfulness from start to finish. Smiling faces and patient interactions characterized every encounter, providing satisfactory answers to all our queries. The hotel arrangements were impeccable, contributing to our enjoyment of all the assigned destinations, with the Rann of Kutch and Gir Forest standing out as major attractions. Going forward, I trust Indian Rides with all my travel needs. Truly awesome!
The visits to all the forts and palaces was so interesting especially to us as this was our first visit to india. Narendra made good choices of places to visit and arranged local tour guides when needed. If you are a history buff you will love this tour. Narendra is a qualified tour operator and will explain a lot as you visit each site.
We cannot speak more highly of the service and professionalism of the IR team. Everything was done to make sure our experience was the best it could be.
We were totally satisfied with what we received and have come home already thinking about the next tour we will do with IR. We would not think of going with anyone else. Using an local Indian tour company as opposed to a foreign one ensures you get the real deal Indian experience.
The motorcycle journey with Indian Rides through the wildlife national parks and sanctuaries of Central India was an unparalleled adventure. As a nature enthusiast and motorcycle lover, this trip offered the perfect blend of thrill and wildlife exploration.
The well-planned itinerary seamlessly guided us through the diverse landscapes and rich biodiversity of Madhya Pradesh, we also explored the world famous temples of Khajuraho on ths ride. The team really cared about the environment also on our trip, whereby we met locals and artisans of India too. Indian Rides team made sure we did things in a way that helps nature, local people and wildlife. Whether we were in thick forests or open areas, riding the motorcycle felt like we were exploring the “Real India!”.
I want to thank Indian Rides for planning such an amazing wildlife adventure. If you love the wildlife and want an exciting road trip, Indian Rides is the best choice for exploring the national parks and sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh.
"Swift, Cost-Effective, and Stress-Free…!"
I must express that my journey with Indian Rides has been nothing short of marvelous. Exploring Gujarat on a motorcycle added an exhilarating dimension to the experience. Roaming through different places in Gujarat provided a deep dive into the nomadic culture of tribal areas and allowed me to discover archaeological and scenic gems like Gondal, Bhuga houses of Kutch, Little Rann of Kutch, and Palitana. The untouched beauty of Gir forest and its rich flora and fauna left me with indelible memories. The entire experience was fantastic, thanks to impeccable arrangements. A special shoutout to Mr. Narendra for curating a trip that will remain etched in my memory.
My wife and I had an amazing experience during our motorcycle tour to Rajasthan with Indian Rides. We were provided with a brand new Royal Enfield 500 CC bike, excellent accommodations, and a friendly team from Indian Rides that enhanced our trip in every aspect.
Our daily excursions ranged from 100 to 350 kilometers, leading us through long stretches in the saddle. On foot, we explored villages, maneuvered our bikes through flocks of sheep, and navigated bustling streets filled with people, trucks, buses, cars, camels, cows, goats, and dogs. Each day unfolded with new sights, sounds, scents, and breathtaking vistas.
IR truly offers great value for money, and I highly recommend them to anyone planning a motorbike holiday in India.
I joined the wildlife motorcycle expedition in Madhya Pradesh with Indian Rides. As a novice biker, this marked my first group ride, and it turned out to be an incredible experience both on the road and at the accommodations. The organizer, Narendra , demonstrated professionalism and took utmost care of everyone throughout the journey and at the stays.
The itinerary for the ride and the accommodations lived up to the details mentioned in the package and even surpassed expectations. Riding through the dense National Parks of Madhya Pardesh, camping, star-gazing, and the music were standout moments that etched the journey in my memory.
The dedication of team of Indian Rides went beyond expectations when fellow riders expressed a desire to explore different cuisines during the ride, the organizers promptly adjusted the route, and it worked seamlessly.
Lastly, a big thank you for the fantastic goodies we received. Eagerly anticipating more rides with Indian Rides.
I highly recommend Indian Rides to anyone passionate about travel and seeking the best customer service simultaneously.
A motorcycle adventure that I highly recommend, regardless of your experience level. Indian Rides offers both security and expertise in a country where navigating can be challenging. The journey seamlessly blends the thrill of riding a legendary motorcycle- Royal Enfield with cultural explorations of Gujarat. The organization is top-notch, ensuring both safety and a rich experience.
The team spirit is exceptional, we specially want to thank Shakti, our group leader. My memories of the trip are nothing but positive. If you are considering exploring Gujarat on a motorcycle, Indian Rides is the way to go!
Embarking on a Rajasthan tour with four close friends, we embarked on a magnificent adventure astride Royal Enfield 500 cc Bullets, traversing diverse landscapes adorned with vibrant colors, bustling with people, diverse fauna, quaint villages, and bustling mega-cities.
Laughter filled our days as we sought out the finest Masala Chai, guided by the care of Narendra Singh Tour Owner and wonderful guide)
The people of India embraced us with friendliness, offering smiles, cheerful directions, and insightful history lessons as we explored forts, mosques, the Taj Mahal, markets, and castles.
Our culinary experience centered around spicy delights – local vegetable dishes, fresh Naan bread, chapattis, Aloo masala (Potato masala), Dahl makhani, Jalfrezi (hot vegetable curry), and samosas chaat with tamarind sauce were among our favorites.
Our accommodations were equally diverse, ranging from old havelis (traditional townhouses/mansions) and forts to old British hotels and modern establishments.
Exploring the narrow, bustling laneways in the old sections of cities was a cherished experience.

Had a superb time on the forts and palaces tour, would very much recommend it. Will be booking the spice route tour very soon, can’t wait!!
Had a superb time on the forts and palaces tour, would very much recommend it. Will be booking the spice route tour very soon, can’t wait!!
Thank you for arranging such a well organized and enjoyable tour for 6 Kiwis and 2 Frogs. The bikes were great, guide and support mechanic were great, and the Ladakh scenery was impressive. Roads were mostly excellent, but with a few rough bits thrown in which added to the challenge. All our needs were well looked after - suitable accommodation, restaurants and liquids as required (during ride and beers after a hard day in the saddle). I would highly recommend Indian Rides for your Indian motorcycle tour.
The ride from Leh to Lake Moriri was the most stunning motorcycle tour I did so far. And staying there overnight in a tent resort, with the milky way above and the wildlife around me, I will never forget. What an experience. Narendra our guide and the Indian Rides team was helpful and did a great job guiding us. Thanks for everything!
This was my 3rd trip with Indian Rides, this time i chose to go to Ladakh on a motorcycle and it proved to be super awesome! Everything was organized really well, and the people at Indian Rides, they are very good at their jobs. Riding through the mountains and seeing the little monks in their red clothes was like a dream. The motorcycles we rode were Royal Enfields- all well maintained that made the journey even more special.
The crew of Indian Rides took care of us (we were a group of 7 Kiwis) and they made sure we were safe while crossing the highest mountain passes. It was a bit scary, but also really exciting! The places we stayed in were nice and comfy too.
The trip was not just about riding the bike; it was also about meeting local people and learning about their way of life. Indian Rides made sure we had a great time and experienced the real Ladakh. I really liked the trip, and I am thankful to Indian Rides for making it so much fun!
Dear Narendra,
I cannot express enough how exceptional my experience was with the Indian Rides through Conquer the Himalayas tour! Your meticulous planning resulted in a well-thought-out itinerary that not only met our needs but also maximized our time and convenience. Throughout the journey, you consistently went above and beyond, ensuring every detail was taken care of, from passports to visas and flights. Your frequent check-ins demonstrated your commitment to making our trip extraordinary, and indeed it was!
The arrangements made by the company, including the knowledgeable guides, were outstanding. The staff and guides were not only professional but also incredibly hospitable, creating an atmosphere of generosity and warmth in the breathtaking surroundings. We were fortunate with excellent weather and temperatures, allowing us to witness some truly amazing rides on our motorcycles. The pinnacle of the trip was the ascent of Khardungla Pass, an indescribable experience that filled us with a profound sense of inner peace.
Your travel company's efficiency extends to all aspects, from airport pick-ups to visas and internal tours, ensuring a seamless experience. The hand-offs were smooth, the bikes were clean and well mainted, and the team leaders were ensuring all safety and enthusiastiasm. Every practical detail, from meals to confirmation calls on transfer days, was impeccably attended to.
Your professionalism and extensive knowledge of every topic we discussed were truly commendable. Overall, this trip became an unforgettable experience, and I attribute it to the excellence of your company. A big thanks to you for making it all possible.
Regards,
Alexandre Dubois
My motorcycle trip to Leh and Ladakh went beyond what I expected. The motorcycles were fantastic, the routes were both more challenging and enjoyable, and the accommodations were excellent. The organization was flawless. The highlight for me, as an English person, was connecting with riders from France and Belgium. Everyone welcomed me warmly, and embracing the cultural differences added to the joy of the experience. A journey that fulfilled all my criteria!
What an incredible journey, a genuine adventure in the highlands of the Himalayas. Navigating through breathtaking landscapes where rugged mountains meet lush oases and sparkling emerald lakes. Tackling challenging roads as you transition into the Eastern world, this trip is a paradise for those who crave winding roads. It's not tailored for Harley cruisers but for those who are ready to get down and dirty, facing the true challenges of switchbacks, road works, gravel paths, water crossings, and immersing themselves in local traffic. Halting in remote spots for a chai tea break allows you to soak in the scenery. Indian Rides orchestrates an epic journey, well-organized with ample time to absorb the local atmosphere in the demanding high-altitude environment. Perfect for fostering team bonding among friends, with plenty of laughter along the way.
It was our first family road trip in the Indian Himalayas on Bikes, and it turned out to be the best choice we could have made. Opting for Indian Rides was a decision that delivered on multiple fronts:
1. Feel at Home:
The team made us feel at home throughout the journey, creating a comfortable and welcoming environment.
2. Security Matters:
Indian Rides genuinely cares about your security, providing a sense of confidence and assurance throughout the trip.
3.Promise Keepers:
They do exactly what they promise, ensuring that expectations are not just met but exceeded.
The whole team of Indian Rides played crucial roles in making this road trip the most successful and memorable one. After waiting for five years to embark on this adventure, choosing Indian Rides made every moment worth the wait.
Indian Rides is a great company. I booked the Trans Himalayas tour and was pleasantly surprised. The tour went smoothly and a solution was found immediately for small problems. I have had different experiences with other travel agencies! I can recommend the tours without a guilty conscience. Very soon I will start my third tour with Indian Rides!

The journey through Rajasthan for the Holi festival in Mandawa that too on a motorcycle was nothing short of a dream with eyes wide open. The dynamic blend of festival hues and the cultural richness of Rajasthan etched an experience that remains vivid in memory. The journey was punctuated by stays in luxurious accommodations, delightful culinary experiences, all accompanied by the genuine warmth of sincere hospitality. Riding through the festivities of the indigenous Holi celebration, perfectly woven into the landscape, made this adventure unbelievably unforgettable. As they say, the best motorcycle trips are the ones that linger in your heart forever.
The Holi tour with Indian Rides was an unforgettable tour on a Motorcycle that exceeded all our expectations. The perfect blend of cultural authenticity, immersive experiences, and meticulous planning made this journey a true celebration of India's spirit. One of the standout moments was the visit to Mandawa, where we had the privilege of celebrating Holi with the local community and the Royal family of Mandawa. The warmth and hospitality of the residents made this experience truly exceptional. Engaging in cultural exchanges, sharing traditional meals, and witnessing age-old rituals deepened our connection to the heart of India. If you are seeking an adventure that engages all your senses, this Holi tour is an absolute must.
The Spice Route. Fabulous experience ! Well Organised trip. I would recommend both this particular trip and Indian Rides to anyone considering a Motor Bike Tour in India.
Amazing experience, good organization. It's my third activity with Indian Rides. I'm planning a fourth at the first opportunity.
My journey with Indian Rides from India on their Northern India motorcycle tour was nothing short of incredible. Accompanied by five friends from France, the tour beautifully highlighted the stunning landscapes, rich cultures, and iconic landmarks of the region. The meticulously planned routes, comfortable accommodations, and well- suited Royal Enfield bikes added to the overall experience. Guide Narendra Singh, with his wealth of knowledge, provided captivating insights into each destination, enriching our cultural immersion. This tour is a definite must for adventure enthusiasts, motorcycle riders, and anyone looking for an unforgettable exploration of Northern India on two wheels!
“Bespoke, friendly and professional motorcycle adventure trip… a star grade company!”
The friendly and professional approach that Narendra Singh and Gopika Singh from Indian Rides gave to us filled with such confidence. I am usually a nervous traveller but with their attention to detail and fabulous communication, I felt very happy to be packing my case and heading off to the sun. Also, the itinerary given to us by the Indian Rides was fully satisfying.. So this travel agency is 100% recommended. Everything was booked and given to us in advance.No chaos at all. The price they charge is much less than the quality they provide. Boom them, you will not regret.
Super pleasant trip and breathtaking landscapes. out of the ordinary and tourist areas.
I have used Indian Rides for two trips before and had planned a motorcycle trip to Central India in January 2020. Unfortunately, due to India closing its borders because of Covid, we could not go. Mr Narendra and Gopika assured us that they would keep our money safe, as it was already paid to hotels, etc. New plans were made for April 2022, post Covid. When the time finally came, everything went smoothly as planned. The level of service from this local Indian motorcycle company is excellent. In our three trips, we never felt like things were out of control. Indian Rides have always provided fantastic bikes, team and safari guides resulting in great wildlife sightings, including 3 different tiger sighteeing on our last trip with morning- evening safaris in different National Parks of Madhya Pradesh. We also saw jackals, numerous birds, and even a leopard. I highly recommend this company to everyone, and I will definitely use them again!
The Best Valued and fully guided motorcycle Tour we had with Indian Rides to Trans-Himlayan belt of India where we not only explored the rugged beauty but different monasteries and eye catching landscapes. IR is a top-notch organization, with an extraordinary motorcycle experience, magnificent hotels, and a very competent guide. The follow up car, drove us wherever we needed to go once we were off the bike and brought all the luggage.
Frankly want to go on a trip with them again and again!
Indian Rides made my long cherished dream come true to ride on a classic Royal Enfield Bullet through Rajasthan, the land of castles and Maharadja palaces. What an adventure! The small Indian family business of two brothers from Jaipur provided me with a perfectly planned tour, super relaxed guiding by the always good-humoured and passionate boss Shakti, a daily top maintained motorcycle, fantastic accommodation, lots of culture. I made many encounters with the rural population and Shakti answered every question. I was also very lucky with my small international motorcycle group and not only got 1001 impressions of India, but also new friends for life. In short: Riding Rajasthan on Royal Enfield with Indian Rides is a MUST on the bucket list of any traveling motorcyclist. I'm going with Indian Rides again - next time maybe the Spice Route in the South or the great adventure Himalaya?
The most cherished trip of my lifetime. We had planned to visit India since long and finally were able to complete this dream with Indian Rides on the Royal Enfield. The guided trip was upto the Mark and Shakti and his entire team made us enjoy it to the fullest. Our group was a mix of different nationalities but in the end we all became friends for life.
This trip had been in my bucket list for long and when I did it I have become super confident about my decisions. We were a small group of 07 and from the team management to route planning to Hotels everyday was just Perfect. We were really happy to take back the sweet lifetime memories and our best of luck to Team Indian Rides and wish that they keep continuing this amazing adventure.
Big Cheers
I still have dreams about this amazing Motorbike trip with team Indian Rides. Hats off to the management and efforts by Narendra and his team that the whole trip gave us only memories to be cherished all our lives. We have started looking at the other options provided by Indian Rides, so that we can come back to India soon.
A must do adventure once in our lifetime. Indian Rides had proved to be a fantastic host for this trip. Their management before, during and after the trip had been phenomenal. The driver and mechanic along with Narendra proved out to be the best team one could ever ask for. Big cheers to our amazing ride in the South India.
Unforgettable experience with team Indian Rides. The trip was planned in a very short period of time due to which i was not sure about my decision to do it with Indian Rides but now I am very sure that whenever I would plan India it will always be with Indian Rides only. I have always read about the beauty of South India but when witnessed it, I was really thrilled and amazed. So 03 Cheers to Indian Rides.
I had wanted to do a tour of India on a motorbike for several years now and was finally able to do it. It was FANTASTIC. Such a lively and vibrant country full of history, character and wonderful people. Indianrides provided the Royal Enfield Bullets which were the perfect bikes for touring Rajasthan and encountering all the hazards that go with that; robust and full of charm, so much so I never stopped smiling. The accommodation was a great mix of nostalgic and 'very comfortable' and the leader (Narendra) and support staff could not do enough to please. Also made lots of new friends. Thank you Indianrides. I can't wait to be back next year :-)
Amazing tour of Rajasthan! Extremely well organised and executed by Narendra and his team. Wide range of interesting destinations and routes that fitted the increasing competence of the group as we became accustomed to Indian conditions. Would highly recommend Indian Rides if it’s your first or tenth motorcycle tour in India.
This was my time time in India and on a Royal Enfield Motorcycle. Narendra has put together an unforgettable adventure and a well planned challenge to the seasoned rider. His planning includes periods for staged altitude acclimatization, expected travel time, availability of accommodation and reduced traffic density. I cannot thank Narendra, Ram and Armar enough for providing us a fabulous journey, good company and amazing memories of one of the most breathtaking areas in the world.
Narendra and the Indian Rides team provided a well thought through and well executed tour that took us to a very special part of the World in a very special way
The organisation, hospitality, service, guiding, quality of bikes and support back up cannot be faulted; also the fact that the whole team were nice guys who knew the Indian back roads well and had very good relationships with every contact along the way; important stuff. When things got difficult, due to the protests which closed the road to Agra, they listened to us and were able to find a solution that enabled us to still visit one of the 7 wonders of the World. Narendra also invited us to his house to drink his rum and eat his food; good guy :) You can read all about my Rajasthan adventure with Indian Rides day by day in my blog: http://www.bigjohnsmotobikeadventures.com/category/indian-adventure/
Hello, 1 month later... it was a very good travel : very funny use the Royal Enfield around Rajasthan. Mecanics without problem, easy to ride. Good organisation, nice hotel... You can come for this riding around India. I think I will come back with friend 'the doctor' for Himalaya 2018 ! See you later Good and fingers crossed.
Fantastic! We chose Indian Rides Tour of Rajastan based on feedback from others, the content and destinations of the tour and the professional and courteous service provided by Naren and Gopika during the enquiry and booking process. The trip itselff was Exceptionnel and exceeded all of our expectations. Naren and his Team on the tour itself looked after us so well, going well beyond the call of duty on a regular basis. The bikes were comfortable and reliable and mechanically in top condition. The accommodation, service and choice of food was very good and varied. While we covered the typical tourist destinations of Rajastan it was the more non touristique venues and experiences that provided us with a deeper insight into 'The Real India'. Thank you....We will be back !
What a "Magical Mystery Tour" ! a great experience.........One of the most amazing trips of my life. Everything was perfect Your profesionalisme and cool , the staff , the bikes ,the hotels and the itinerary chosen. Really off the beaten track, and still able to go where so few tourists have passed.............. My favorite stop was in the Thar desert which was so beautifull. The local people always with smiles...........as all of the group also ! Sincere thanks to you and your family and staff. We will certainly be back again shortly..........Monique no longer needs to be persuaded ! !
We had been to Ladakh for 2 weeks and it seems that the tour is over but in our minds we are still their. Many thanks to Indian Rides for organising such memorable trip and offering their best services. The memories will always be cherished and we would want to come back to India again with them.
We had experienced the best Motorbike Trip for Rajasthan, and are very happy to have done it with Indian Rides .They had been the most wonderful team and everyone had done their jobs perfectly. It was a complete mix of experiencing the Local culture, food, interacting with people and ofcourse Biking. We are really looking forward to join them for other regions as well and most eagerly The Himalayas.
Best Memories to be cherished for Lifetime and lots of contact with the local people. Fantastic! We chose Indian Rides Tour of south India based on feedback from others, the content and destinations of the tour and the professional and courteous service provided by Naren and Gopika during the enquiry and booking process.
