BEFORE YOU GO · CAUTIONARY DETAILS
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.

About The Carburettor Club

Founded by a workshop rather than a travel agency, which is why the mechanic is not an upsell. Every departure carries spares for the bikes it puts on the road.

One of the bikes had problems from day two and the spare took a while to arrive. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Every night's lodge was a step up from what I'd braced for.

Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.
