The Routes of Hinduism

Motorcycle tour in Himalaya

12 stages - 1,054 miles
temple delhi india
1/12 • Arrival in Delhi
You’re met at the airport and transferred to a hotel in the centre of Delhi. Your room is available from midday. You can spend the rest of the day visiting the capital.

2/12 • Delhi - Jim Corbett Park
We make an early start and a private vehicle takes us to Jim Corbett National Park. We arrive at the park, at the foothills of the first Lower Himalayas, and rest at the hotel. We take a short ride so you can familiarise yourselves with the motorcycles.
168 miles
landscape himalayan foothills
3/12 • Jim Corbett Park - Sitla
In the crisp morning air, after visiting our first temple, we cruise along the edge of the Himalayan foothills before finally climbing to 2,000 m altitude in one go and reaching Nainital, where we have a lakeside lunch. We make a second ascent of the day, to the heart of rural Kumaon, along a fantastic little mountain road, which is narrow but easy to ride.
93 miles
jageshwar temples india
4/12 • Sitla - Binsar
We pass through charming Kumaon and make a short stop at Katarmal Sun Temple before arriving in Kasar Devi, where Bob Dylan and other beatniks once stayed. A small haven of peace, which is still as calm as ever! We visit Panchachuli weaving factory before venturing deeper into Binsar’s splendid forest, at more than 2,000 m altitude, where you could easily imagine elves appearing from behind the twisted tree trunks!
75 miles
motorcycle tour himalayas
5/12 • Binsar - Kausani
We take a morning ride to Jageshwar temple, a religious site which dates back 2,500 years. Then, just for the pure pleasure of testing out the twists and turns, we head east, where the second highest peak in India, the Nanda Devi (7,816 m) can be seen on a clear day. After lunch we take a short trek through a typical Kumaon hamlet, which managed to preserve its ancient architecture and organisation.

mountain road himalaya india
6/12 • Kausani - Chamoli
Goodbye Kumaon, hello Garhwal! Not only do we have more “challenging” roads ahead, but at the end of the day, we also have a series of endless curves. Millennial temple of Bajinath, stealthy views of the Himalayan high peaks and small gorges on the Pindar River mark this stage. We have our first meeting with the Ganges, which here is called Alaknanda.
92 miles
trekking himalaya india
7/12 • Chamoli - Narayankoti
We ride through the beautiful forest of the natural sanctuary of Kedarnath, to the pass of Chopta (2880m). Visit on the way of the very old temple of Shiva in Gopeshwar, a religious landmark on pilgrim routes. After lunch we enjoy a short, relatively easy trek to a small lake; Uttarakhand’s full beauty is revealed when we take the time to walk through it.
65 miles
mandakini river himalaya india
8/12 • Narayankoti - Rudraprayag
We follow the Mandakini Valley and ride up a tiny road through Kedarnath forest, hamlets and terraced fields: a true hidden gem of a road. At 2,200 m, we reach the starting point for an easy trek well worth the effort: we walk to Kartik Swami temple, which offers one of the most spectacular views of Uttarakhand. We climb down towards Rudraprayag where the pure waters of the Mandakini River flows into the Ganges.
75 miles
motorcycle adventure himalaya india
9/12 • Rudraprayag - Kanatal
We jump ahead of the Mandakini before reaching the Chirbhattiya pass, a charming secondary road, also "forgotten" and devoid of traffic. Picnic, swim in the river. After skirting the huge reservoir of Tehri dam, we ride up to Kanatal for the night, resting on a ridge at over 2000m altitude. Almost a refuge!
90 miles
ganges river india
10/12 • Kanatal - Haridwar
After coming down from the fresh air in the peaks, we stop off at Rishikesh. We then go down to Haridwar, the holiest of the holy cities, on a road wedged between Rajaji National Park and the Ganges canal. After dropping off our luggage, we go to witness the daily rituals of devout Hindus on the banks of the sacred river at the end of the afternoon. A permanent spectacle in this town, and a real feast for the eyes!
85 miles
jama masjid delhi india
11/12 • Haridwar - Delhi
You are taken to your hotel in the capital and can spend the rest of the day at your leisure.
143 miles
traditional indian food
12/12 • Delhi - International Airport
Depending on your flight schedule, you may still be able to enjoy Delhi’s hustle and bustle, go shopping or visit one of the Royal Enfield stores. You’re transferred to the International airport, where our services end.

Cette rando comprend des étapes éloignées des premiers secours. L'assistance primaire pour rejoindre le centre médicalisé le plus proche est principalement assurée par notre véhicule d'assistance, les moyens tels que les hélicoptères ou les ambulances étant très rares. Les réseaux téléphoniques limités peuvent rendre le contact avec les secours difficile. Comme pour tout itinéraire d'aventure, la difficulté du parcours dépend des conditions météo, tant pendant qu'avant le voyage.
