Nine days: Jaipur, Udaipur, Mount Abu, Jodhpur and the Thar. The same route and support for riders on their own motorcycle, in guesthouses rather than havelis.
Nine days and about 1,400 km, all of it on tarmac and none of it above 1,220 m. This is the ride for people who want distance without altitude.

Rajasthan on two wheels is the way to see it. No complaints about the organisation. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Good value for what's included.
Machines were well maintained and the daily briefings were short and useful. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
Days were longer than advertised and we arrived after dark more than once. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.

Route planning was the strong point — long days, but the stops were in the right places. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would send friends their way.
9 days of proper riding. The support vehicle was never far when someone needed it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. The team read the group well and adjusted without making a thing of it. Worth every rupee.
