So you don’t have much time, but you dream of escape and adventure? This original motorcycle tour, lasting just a few days, takes you by Royal Enfield into the Himalayas through the areas of Kumaon and Garhwal. The mesmerising roads of Uttarkhand wind through a sumptuous setting. Picturesque little villages, Hindu temples, pine forests, terraced crops, and unbeatable views of the mountains. Hungry for strong sensations, you’ll rack up hairpin bends on steep cliff-edge roads and the occasional bumpy trail, in a region as yet barely explored.
Plan to arrive at Delhi international airport in the morning. A private vehicle will transfer you to Jim Corbett National Park. You arrive at the nature park and can spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the pool.
Today marks the start of your adventure! We start off zigzagging along small roads up to Ranikhet. We continue along a smooth mountain road through pine forests and terraced fields until we reach Almora. The climb then continues to Kausani, where you can marvel at the remarkable views of a mountain range spanning more than 180 miles.
We leave early for the small stone temple in Baijnath, near the Gomti River, where you will see the huge sacred trout swimming around. The locals describe this peaceful atmosphere as “shanti, shanti”. Then, we take a charming, small cliffside road along Pindar River before continuing northwards to the small village Kund.
Today, we leave our luggage at the hotel to enjoy the beautiful surrounding roads. We head for Chopta Pass (2,700 m) round a series of hairpin bends. On the way back down we visit Gopeshwar, a small village famous for its seven-hundred-year-old temple devoted to Shiva. We take the same route back to Kund.
We take a steep road along the Ganges, which is bumpy more often than not. Depending on the season, we may come across some difficult stretches. One thing is certain: your adrenaline will rise as we pass through dramatic landscapes featuring red sandstone mountain faces, waterfalls and pine forests. For the last few miles, we ride alongside the lake formed by Tehri dam, which offers sumptuous scenery.
We head off early to really make the most of our last day in the saddle. We take a superb mountain road through pine forests and terraced fields, with the snow-draped Himalayas as your backdrop. One last blast of fresh air before going back to the capital. We reach Mussoorie, India’s favourite hilltop honeymoon destination.
You’ll be transferred by a private vehicle to Dehradun airport for a domestic flight to Delhi. You are then transferred to the international airport, according to your flight-departure time. This is where our services end.
You will be transported from New Delhi to Agra in a private vehicle with driver. You have the option of a 2 or 3 day extension, allowing ample time to visit the fabulous Taj Mahal, Fatehpur Sikri and the Red Fort of Agra.
Two days to discover the sacred town of Varanasi. An English-speaking guide shows you around the Buddhist city of Sarnath, one of the four holy Buddhist cities. As the sun sets, you'll have the opportunity to stroll along the Varanasi ghats and attend Aarti, a daily worship ritual. On the second day, you will enjoy a sunrise boat tour, visit the University, Bharat Mata Mandir and the rest of the city.
