Moderate trips in Bike expedition in Rajasthan by motorcycle

Ride within the day, not the itinerary

Mountain roads in India are slower than any map suggests and the day ends early in the hills. Plan to arrive with daylight to spare; riding a Himalayan road after dark is the most dangerous thing on the whole trip.

Carry the paperwork

Licence, registration, insurance and photo ID, and on a border-adjacent circuit an inner-line permit as well. These are checked, and a checkpost is not a place to discover you are missing one.

Fuel is a planning problem

Pumps on high-altitude circuits can be two hundred kilometres apart and run dry. Know where the next one is before you leave the last one, and carry a spare canister where the route needs it.

Altitude affects the rider and the engine

You will feel thin air on a bike as much as on foot, and carburettors run rich. Take the acclimatisation days seriously even though you are sitting down.

Helmet, gloves, and something between you and the road

Gravel, water crossings and loose corners are the norm rather than the exception. Riding gear that would look excessive at home is about right here.

Who is actually running this trip?

What if I cannot complete it?
