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'.

I saw the Real India riding and Enfield Bullet and it was amazing.

I went with two friends on the South India Spice Route Tour in October 2023. 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.
