Rajasthan Motorcycle Tour – Guided India Round Trip

Your Rajasthan motorcycle tour begins with arrival in Delhi, usually in the middle of the night. We pick you up directly from the airport and take you to your hotel, where you can recover from the long journey before the actual trip begins the following day.

After breakfast we set off by car toward Mandawa. This guided Rajasthan motorcycle tour starts with a roughly seven-hour road transfer into the Shekhawati district, where your haveli in Mandawa is waiting. Today is for arriving, resting, and enjoying the evening.

After a hearty breakfast you saddle up for the first time. A half-day excursion familiarizes you with the bike and Indian traffic – an ideal warm-up for the onroad India motorcycle tour – while you discover some of the famous havelis and stepwells of the region.

Today the actual Rajasthan round trip begins. After an early start you reach Bikaner in the afternoon. A jeep takes you to a small desert village where camels are waiting – on four legs you ride into the desert and spend the night under an open sky.

After the night in the desert camp, camel carts and a jeep bring you back to the hotel. Together you visit Jhunagarh Fort, one of the most impressive sites on this Rajasthan desert motorcycle tour. Optionally, the rat temple of Deshnok is also on offer.

The longest stage of the entire tour: around 330 kilometers to Jaisalmer. Roads in Rajasthan are in good condition with light traffic. The further west you go, the more vegetation recedes until only sand and gravel remain.

Jaisalmer, Rajasthan's westernmost city, lies just a few kilometers from the Pakistani border. You stay in a haveli run by descendants of one of the last ruling families. This day of the Rajasthan motorcycle adventure is yours to spend however you wish.

Today's stage is a pure desert journey. From Jaisalmer to Jodhpur there is only sand, gravel, and thorny scrub. Jodhpur welcomes you with the bustle and energy of a typical Indian city, while your hotel complex offers a large pool for relaxing.

A visit to the imposing Meherangarh Fort is followed by the snow-white Jaswant Thada memorial. On this Royal Enfield India tour you can also try the famous Makhani Lassi at Shri Mishrilal Hotel – widely considered the best lassi in all of India.

Leaving Jodhpur heading south, the route quickly trades the highway for a leisurely cruise through fields and villages. Picturesque towns invite tea stops along the way before you reach Ranakpur in the afternoon with time for the famous Jain temple.

The morning belongs to Kumbhalgarh fortress with its roughly 36-kilometer protective wall. In the afternoon you continue toward Udaipur, often called the most romantic city in India, arriving in the late afternoon.

This day is yours. The City Palace, Jagdish Temple, and Lake Palace are among the highlights of Udaipur. For many, a walk through the labyrinthine old-town alleys, where time seems to stand still, is the most memorable experience.

The route first runs on a well-maintained highway with an optional stop at the fort of Chittorgarh. Later you turn onto small side roads deep into rural Rajasthan, arriving in the charming town of Bundi in the early evening.

On through the Rajasthan hinterland. Road conditions are rougher here, but compensated by fine landscapes and peaceful villages. In Ranthambore you stay at a small resort with pool and can optionally join a first safari in the afternoon.

A safari through Ranthambore National Park offers the chance to spot one of the famous tigers. Around midday you head toward Jaipur, reaching the city after around four hours of riding.

Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is known as the Pink City. You visit the Palace of the Winds, the observatory, and the great bazaar of the old town – a central program highlight before continuing east.

The rebuilt highway carries you quickly through the roughly 230 kilometers to Agra. At the hotel a pool awaits, and those who wish can explore this Indian city before the highlight of the next morning.

Early in the morning you visit the Taj Mahal, when the warm light of the rising sun touches the white marble of the mausoleum. After breakfast you ride back to Delhi, arriving in the early evening.

After breakfast a transfer takes you to the airport for your return flight. Your Rajasthan motorcycle adventure through space and time comes to a close, with memories of desert, palaces, and the people of India.
