Overview
Motorcycle tours in India take you from the world's highest rideable passes in Ladakh and the Spiti Valley, over the desert forts of Rajasthan, to the tropical coasts of Kerala in the south. Khardung La and other Himalayan passes rise above 5,000 metres but are snow-free for only a few months a year. With Motourismo you mostly ride Royal Enfield, guided by experienced local crews, with planned stages and accommodation along the route. At Motourismo you compare several vetted operators in one place – with fixed departures, clear prices and personal advice before you book.
What to expect.
Riding areas
Where in the country you ride – and what defines each region.
Some of the highest rideable passes on earth, high-altitude desert landscapes and Buddhist monasteries.
Remote high-altitude valleys with dramatic gorges and some of the roughest mountain roads in the Himalaya.
The eastern Himalayan arc and Madhya Pradesh's temples and forests, a gentler introduction to Indian motorcycle touring.
Desert forts, palaces and the kingdoms of India on wide, dry roads.
Tropical coastlines, backwaters and tea plantations in the far south.
Bike & riding level
Machine, difficulty and how a riding day is structured.
Across the 13 tours we run in India, the bikes in use are mainly Royal Enfield, Royal Enfield Classic, Royal Enfield Himalayan – adventure and touring machines suited to this country's stages. Lowered versions and lower seats can be pre-ordered with most operators. They are not automatically available: tell us your inseam before you book and we will settle which machine is reserved for you before you commit. Difficulty runs from Beginner to Expert.
What matters is routine rather than outright skill: if you can ride several days in a row and still be fresh in the evening, you will do fine. Motorcycle rental India is the norm – the bike waits at the starting point and is already part of the price on most tours. A riding day follows the same pattern almost everywhere: breakfast, a short briefing on the stage, riding with several breaks, and arrival in the afternoon so there is time for the place before dinner. Tours run between 13 and 45 days; the longer ones include rest days.
In short
Travel experiences
Real voices from travellers who have been on the road with us.
Booking
You pick the tour and the departure on this page and send the booking. We check availability with the operator and confirm in writing within one working day. Your place is only firmly reserved with that confirmation – nothing is charged before it.
Usually 20 to 30 per cent of the tour price after confirmation, with the balance about four to six weeks before departure. The exact figure is set by the operator's terms and is given to you before payment – you never pay before you know it.
Yes. The cancellation terms of the operating company apply and you receive them before booking; the earlier you cancel, the lower the fee. Trip cancellation insurance is worth having for a multi-day motorcycle tour and can be arranged separately.
Both work. Solo riders share a double room by default; a single room is bookable for a supplement. A pillion usually pays less than a second rider because no second motorcycle is needed. You choose either option in the booking form.
On some tours in India, yes – the price then drops by the rental share. Whether your chosen tour allows it is stated on that tour's page. If riding there yourself is too far, we can arrange motorcycle transport for you.
Every guided tour has a minimum number of riders. If it is not reached, the operator cancels the departure – no later than the deadline stated in its terms. You then get the full amount back or move to another date free of charge.
Not for the road tours. Where gravel or piste stages are part of the route, that is stated in the description and in the tour's difficulty rating. If you are unsure, tell us what you have ridden so far – we will shortlist the right tours instead of leaving you to guess.
