Madhya Pradesh Motorcycle Tour India

Your India motorcycle tour begins with the flight to Delhi. We pick you up in the evening at Indira Gandhi International Airport and take you to the hotel, where you spend the first night and prepare for the coming days.

After breakfast you drive by car to Agra, where this India motorcycle tour truly begins: you receive your Royal Enfield Classic with an introduction to the motorcycle's handling and the specifics of Indian road traffic.

Before sunrise you visit the Taj Mahal, one of the finest buildings in the world. Afterwards a short first ride on the bike, optionally to the historic imperial city of Fatehpur Sikri, around 30 kilometres away.

This stage of the on-road India motorcycle tour takes you around 125 kilometres to Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh. Above the city sits an impressive fortress with a sound and light show worth seeing every evening.

As a guided India motorcycle tour, today's stage covers around 120 kilometres to Orchha, which was the capital of the Bundela kings in the 16th century and surprises with a remarkable temple and palace ensemble.

Rest day for the Orchha motorcycle tour: the city, whose name means 'hidden', possesses so much irresistible charm and so many temples and palaces that a second overnight stay is well worth it.

Along quiet, low-traffic roads the Chanderi motorcycle tour heads around 160 kilometres south of Orchha. The town has been an important trading hub since the 11th century and is famous for its hand-woven saris.

The Sanchi motorcycle tour continues along small side roads through rural India. Sanchi dates back to the 3rd century BCE and is home to several stupas from the golden age of Buddhism in India.

Road conditions on this stage require some patience, so after the Gwalior and Orchha motorcycle stages we make an intermediate stop in Sagar before continuing towards Khajuraho.

Back on the National Highway, you usually arrive in Khajuraho only in the late afternoon, which is why the next day is reserved entirely for sightseeing.

Before continuing towards the overnight train to Delhi, today gives you plenty of time to explore the unique Khajuraho temple complex with its intricately decorated 10th-century temples at leisure.

The Chitrakoot motorcycle tour leads through a gentle landscape of forests and small rivers. According to legend, the god Rama and his companion Sita spent part of their fourteen years of exile here.

Today you reach the religious capital of Hinduism, Varanasi, on the banks of the Ganges — one of the seven sacred cities and one of the oldest cities in the world.

Two days in Varanasi are barely enough to take in the city's extraordinary atmosphere: a sunrise boat ride on the ghats, evening Ganga ceremonies, and a stroll through the silk sari lanes of the old city.

After a free day and a group dinner together, the overnight adventure begins: the first-class sleeper train from Varanasi to Delhi — an authentic Indian railway experience, arriving in Delhi in the early morning.

After arriving in Delhi, a free day rounds off the Madhya Pradesh motorcycle tour: plenty of time for sightseeing, bazaars and Delhi's varied shopping before the return journey the next morning.

Usually in the early morning the return flight departs. This Gwalior to Delhi motorcycle tour ends here — we hope the heart of India appealed to you and we look forward to welcoming you back soon.
