A Shopping Guide: Things To Buy From India On Your Motorcycle Tour To India

India is a gift for shopaholics that holds great promotional prospects, where every state has something precious and extraordinary to offer. India is a country that has been well known for different trade routes which have remained well known for many decades and it has been considered the traditional hub of trade for many countries in the world. So when planning your motorcycle tour to India you are not only provided with an excellent opportunity to master the diverse culture and traditions, appreciate the stunning beauty of numerous places, and visit such important religious sites that are preserved even today but also, you will have a unique possibility, along with Indian Rides, to buy interesting and thoughtful gifts for your beloved ones and for yourself from India Tour.

After several years of traveling India on different adventure Motorcycle tours with Indian Rides, I can confirm that certain items are a must- buy purchase by visitors traveling in India. Even if everything is now readily available everywhere in India, there is still excitement and enjoyment in purchasing things from their place of birth. In India, there are a lot of items that are made by hand and that can be easily modified if you have time for it.

Thus the question arises what are the most famous things in India? What things should one buy in India, what should one buy in India, and what souvenirs should one bring home from India?  then this list has got you covered. Let us get started: from this blog, you will get some of the best tips on souvenir buying, for your next motorcycle vacation tour to India, that you would like to buy from India for yourself or for your friends and family.

Traditional Indian Wear

Traditional Indian attire includes a wide variety of patterns and fabric textures. Every state of India is somehow different in terms of clothing because of the geographical location, climate, culture, and ethnic class of the respective state. There are many clothing options available in India that one can buy on their motorbike tour to India.

India is famous for handwoven fabrics and one will find numerous fabric shops all over India that dazzle you with its bright colors and pretty prints. Purchasing Indian clothes can be a cultural experience, as you browse through Indian Bazaars on a motorcycle to buy a handloom woven ladies' salwar kameez or men’s Kurta pajamas.

Saree

The loveliest Indian garment that could be brought from India is undoubtedly the saree, a sober but hitch-free garment available in a wide range of fabrics, tints, and embellishments. Every part of India has different types of saree to offer; One can buy Banarasi sari on a motorcycle tour to Varanasi, Kanjeevaram sari on a motorbike tour to South India or Tamil Nadu, bandhani sari on a Royal Enfield trip to Rajasthan and Chanderi sari while discovering central India on a motorcycle. Saree is an art produced by weaving each fabric usually having beautiful embroidery work and zari work along with beautiful patterns.

In these Interactive and adventurous motorcycle road trips to India with Indian Rides, I got the opportunity to not only visit the Indian bazaars but got the chance to interact with the local craftsmen who make such beautiful pieces, and I had a chance to shop a piece of India’s rich dressing tradition with me.

Indian Spices

Any gastronomic motorcycle tour to India is incomplete, without bringing home the spices from India. The aromatic Indian Spices are famous in the world due to their magnificent taste and smell. These spices are not only everyone’s delight from a sensory stimulus but also a very significant component of the country’s cultural foods.

One of the most expensive spices of India is saffron for which any dish made with it becomes akin to a royal delicacy. India boasts over 100 types of spices, including cardamom, which is also referred to as the “Queen of Spices” to fiery peppers, the fragrant cumin seeds to woody cinnamon to various other spices, thus called, “ The Land Of Spices”.

During my sensual voyage on a motorcycle through the Spice route of India, which encompasses two distinct states of Southern India, namely Tamil Nadu and Kerala, the tour of Spice Plantations, learned the actual process of Spices farming, and a direct interaction with the merchants selling spices enabled me to actually get the insights of India’s culinary history. I carried a few packets of  Indian spices, as a token gift from India.

Indian Pickles

A famous item to buy from India on a motorcycle tour to India is the Indian Pickle. Seasoned and hot, Indian pickles are an integral edible addition to Indian meals, as they stand out because of their distinguishing taste.

When purchasing this treat for taste buds, explore the vibrant local markets of India and make sure they come with proper packaging. The best purchase from my motorbike trip to Gujarat was Gujarati Chundo, an Indian pickle that offers a plethora of flavors that cater to diverse palates. Ker Sangri and garlic pickles were my best buys on the motorcycle tour to Rajasthan.

Indian Tea

If you need to choose a special and historical gift from an Indian bike tour for your friends and relatives, it will be wiser to provide them with Indian tea. It comes in numerous varieties, including flavors, aroma, and historical touch of the country. Indian Tea is a wonderful and heartfelt token that gives the spirit of India. It comes in elegant boxes and it is definitely a perfect gift to buy from India that I would love to give to my friends and working colleagues.

When one chooses fully guided motorcycle itineraries of Indian Rides such as the Malabar experience or the spice route of India while traveling to southern India, one gets the chance not only to taste the first flush tea which is brewed in a teacup but also one can learn how the tea is grown in these tea Estates through a tea plantation tour in Kerala.

Traditional Indian Jewelry

On your road trip to India on a motorcycle, you can easily encounter Indian women wearing many ornaments such as necklaces, bangles, rings, earrings, noserings, bangles, hairpins, chains, etc. One of the most interesting gifts from India that one can undertake is to purchase Indian traditional jewelry pieces easily available in both silver and gold ornaments in the country at very reasonable prices.

A unique gift from the Rajasthan motorcycle Tour can be the Kundan jewelry and Jadau items designed with peppy gemstones. The splendid ornamental Temple jewelry can be bought from Southern India bike routes that originate with the temples and gods and goddesses of the ancient Indian land and is available from the markets of Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Another intriguing design of the Indian traditional necklace is the tribal jewelry or oxidized silver jewelry, such a beautifully designed filigree work can be easily got while touring through the Gujarat tribal on a Royal Enfield.

Miniature of Taj Mahal

The best gift from India for your loved one back in your country would be the miniature of the Taj Mahal, a symbol of love and beauty, sculptured in marvelous white marble.

The timeless beauty of the Marble Taj Mahal miniature will be a constant reminder of the marvels of India you explored on an adventurous motorbike trip with Indian Rides. It is a symbolic and creative gift that represents India and I have no doubt that your friends shall appreciate it as a symbol of your appreciation of India’s beauty.

On my motorcycle holiday tour to Agra with Indian Rides, I bought these handcrafted pieces, made by skilled marble artisans of Agra, from Taj Ganj.

Ayurvedic Gift Packs

As you trip across India on your Luxurious motorcycle adventures and taking those royal routes on your smashing Royal Enfield, you not just celebrate the spirit of the road but also pamper yourself with the finest Ayurvedic massages. In addition, it is a wonderful chance for you to buy these exclusive goods and take them to your country to extend the luxurious sensations of the journey. Various motorcycle trip itineraries to southern India or even some bike itineraries of Rajasthan offer ayurvedic massages which are a must-try when visiting India, as it would be a terrific way to unwind and relieve stress after a long riding day.

Ayurvedic creams and lotions, body wash, body milk, body butter, shampoos and conditioners, lotions and oils, talcum, and body powders – all these are some of the ayurvedic products that one could purchase in India on their motorbike trip to India.

Indian Snacks

On your motorcycle expedition to India, be sure to try out the delicious and diverse range of Indian snacks. If you are on a Gujarat motorcycle expedition, I would recommend you to try different varieties of khakra or sweet made of chickpea flour commonly known as mohan thal. If you are traveling to Kerala on a Royal Enfield, it would be great if you buy packets of banana chips or tapioca chips normally found in local stores You can also purchase Kozhikodan Halwa from the Malabar region. When visiting Rajasthan on a motorcycle, ensure that you purchase fancy sweet boxes of Gujia or different varieties of halwa among other Rajasthani delights. On your motorbike holiday tour to Central India: Chakri, mathi, and kaju katli are the must buy Indian snacks.

Leather Goods

Another top pick from the Indian bike tour would be leather goods. It should come as no surprise that there is an abundance of leatherware in India, as it is the world's fourth-largest producer of leather goods. There is a wide selection of products to pick from, including gorgeous leather journals, purses, wallets, and other goods.

You can easily find these leather products in the Sadar Bazar of Agra or in the Bada Bazar of Udaipur on a trip to Rajasthan on a Royal Enfield.

Indian Statues

During your exhilarating motorcycle trip through India, you will be mesmerized by the intricate Indian statues made in copper, brass, marble or even in sandal wood.

Copper and brass handicraft items are available in many parts of India but Varanasi is where cast sculptures of deities, as well as household utensils, are made in intrinsic designs. On a motorcycle road trip to Varanasi, one can easily find these exquisite copper and brass items.

Sandalwood carvings can be easily found in the states of Kerala and Tamil Nadu when choosing to travel on motorbike itineraries like the Temple Trails of India or the Spice Route of India because this part of India is known for its finest sandalwood trees in the world.

Tibetan prayer flags and prayer wheels

The most preferred souvenirs bought by tourists visiting the Trans- Indian Himalayas are Tibetan prayer flags, prayer wheels, singing bowls, and similar other commodities. These gifts represent a link between man and gods in Tibetan religion.

While traveling on a motorcycle with Indian Rides to the Indian Himalayas, take home souvenirs like Tibetan prayer flags as it is considered auspicious if somebody gives these prayer flags as a gift. Therefore, the best way to obtain a prayer flag is to receive one as a gift from someone rather than purchasing one. On your thrilling motorbike tour across the Trans-Himalayas or on a motorcycle tour to Leh and Ladakh, the best gift you can purchase is Tibetan religious items for your friends and relatives.

Kathputli

Kath is derived from the word ‘wood’ and Putli refers to a doll. In Hindi, the word “Kathputli” means a puppet. On your motorcycle tour through Rajasthan, you will not only make a really thrilling ride along the captivating Indian roads but also will get a chance to witness puppet-driven folktales serve as the background in the villages of Rajasthan as well as in the local fairs and festivals of Rajasthan. Consequently, these traditional, collapsible and handmade wooden puppets can be bought as gifts from India.

Local Brew

Depending upon your country's customs regulations, you may be permitted to carry 2 liters of liquor in your checked-in baggage as a return purchase from India.

On your motorcycle trip to Kerala, one can try Coconut Toddy, a famous local Kerala liquor. On a motorbike trip to Rajasthan one can relish an exotic drink of Kesar Kasturi trickled down from the breweries of the Royal families or One can taste Lugdi, an alcohol made with the fermentation of rice or millets on your trip to Manali in Himachal Pradesh. India is also a great place for beer lovers as you get the best craft beers in India.

India is always on the list of must-visit destinations for shopping since it has so much to offer in terms of unconventional, profound, or colorful things.

Indian Rides brings the taste of India to visitors of the country, and can help choose the most appropriate souvenirs during your next motorcycle tour of India. Their team will lead you to explore the real source of these valuable pieces which will make you travel to the heart of Indian history, discover the origin of special products, and take meaningful gifts from India for your loved ones or for yourself back home as you discover India with a group motorcycle tour.

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.

A wonderful motorcycle adventure with Indian Rides

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.
