MOTOR TRAVEL WITH ENFIELD IN THE HIMALAYAS
The Royal Enfield is one of the most legendary engines in the world. Robust, easy to use and maintain and the ideal way to explore the Indian subcontinent with the wind in your hair. More and more motorcyclists are traveling to the Himalayas and India for a real adventure ‘off the beaten track’.
For our Enfield journeys, we work together with a solid local partner who only organizes motorcycle trips. They have an extensive own fleet of 500 cc Enfield engines available that they maintain themselves. You are therefore assured of top-class material.
With every motorcycle trip, they also provide a backup vehicle for the luggage so you do not have to worry about it. A riding guide on the motor (a so-called road captain) can be provided.
The overnight stays happen (where possible) in comfortable hotels so that you can enjoy a quiet night out every evening and start well rested the next day.
It goes without saying that motorcycle experience is required for this type of travel. Your partner may also be on the back or with the backup vehicle.
These trips are mainly booked by regular groups of friends/acquaintances who want to experience a once-in-a-lifetime experience with fellow motorbike enthusiasts. We will, therefore, work out your motorcycle trip completely tailored to your company with possibly other elements such as trekkings, cultural visits or a relaxing hotel stay before or after the motorcycle trip.
Feel free to contact us with your ideas. Our partners have motorcycle experience throughout the Indian subcontinent (and beyond) and can certainly offer you a suitable travel proposal.
Below you will find some possible routes in the Himalayas, but you can also make Enfield voyages through other parts of India such as Rajasthan and Kerala.
