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.

11 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. The cooking was a genuine surprise — better than most places we'd have picked ourselves. Would book with them again.

Days were longer than advertised and we arrived after dark more than once. Crew were professional without being stiff about it.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Hotels were clean and central, which saved a lot of time. Solid operator.

Kashmir on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested. Good value for what's included.

Days were longer than advertised and we arrived after dark more than once. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it.

11 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. No complaints about any of the hotels — all of them well placed. Guides answered every question, including the daft ones.

11 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Worth every rupee.

Questions people ask

Srinagar is 1,585 m and Manali is 2,050 m, but the Manali side throws you over Baralacha La at 4,890 m on the second day. Riding west to east you sleep at 2,676 m, then 3,500 m with a rest day, before anything above 5,000 m. It is the same road and a completely different risk profile.
