Since 2006, Vintage Rides has been designing unforgettable Asia motorcycle tours for adventure lovers seeking to explore off-the-beaten-path destinations. Our mission? Take you on legendary roads across the continent, far from mass tourism, to discover authentic cultures and raw landscapes.
With an experienced English-speaking guide, you travel through spectacular routes and hidden trails. A mechanic ensures your peace of mind and an assistance vehicle handles luggage and spare parts. All you need to focus on is one thing: living the moment to the fullest.
Choosing to travel by motorcycle in Asia means slowing down to feel, observe, and be surprised. Every route becomes an adventure, and every stop reveals something new.

Going on one of our motorcycle tours in Asia means riding a true legend: the Royal Enfield. This vintage-style motorcycle delivers an old-school riding experience that’s both accessible and unforgettable. Its classic look naturally sparks curiosity and conversation wherever you go.
Thanks to this iconic Indian motorcycle, you connect more deeply with the local culture. From the Thar Desert in Rajasthan to the volcanic landscapes of Java, from the wide-open Mongolian steppe to the towering Himalayan passes, this machine has proven itself on every kind of terrain. Crossing Asia on a Royal Enfield is pure joy.
Depending on the tour, you ride the Classic 350, smooth on paved mountain roads, or the Himalayan 450, built for tracks and high passes.
Every Asia motorcycle tour is designed around your riding style, with one constant priority: your safety.
India is where it all started for Vintage Rides, and it has its own page: discover our India motorcycle tours, from the Himalayas and Ladakh to Rajasthan and South India. Across the rest of Asia, our motorcycle tours cover:

Northern Thailand is a good start, from 7 days, on tours rated Intermediate that stay mostly on the road, like On the Roads of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, From Bali to Java in Indonesia, The Dragon Kingdom in Bhutan and From the Jungle to the Gates of Mustang in Nepal. At the gateway to Asia, The Treasures of Anatolia, in Turkey, is rated Accessible, our gentlest level. Whichever you pick, you should already ride regularly.
The easiest two-up tours stay on the road: Sri Lanka, Bhutan, northern Thailand and Indonesia, each with a passenger rate. In Nepal, on From the Jungle to the Gates of Mustang, the rider should already have some trail experience. In Laos, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia in summer, a passenger is accepted if the rider is very comfortable off-road. Upper Mustang and the Frozen Ride have no passenger rate.
Per rider, excluding international flights: $2,290 for 7 days to $3,890 for 12 days in Thailand; $4,090 to $5,150 in Nepal; $4,090 in Sri Lanka; $4,190 to $5,190 in Mongolia in summer; $4,290 in Laos; $4,490 in Kyrgyzstan; $4,550 in Indonesia; $6,390 in Bhutan, flights from and back to Delhi included; $6,590 for the winter sidecar tour in Mongolia.

They call for off-road experience: build it on a dirt-riding course before you go, or, if you are coming to Europe, on our one-day off-road training in France.
