Rider Reviews

Had a great tour with Narendra from Indian Rides around Rajasthan we stayed at some great locations and visited some historic forts and palaces we traveled two up on the Himalayan Enfield I can highly recommend this trip you would not regret choosing to travel with the team from Indian Rides.

Indian Rides (IR) is a motorcycle tour operator that specialises in tours in India only - from the very north to the very south of this massive country.
Established 20 years ago it has established and refined tours that go to the most interesting places by the best routes on all types of roads and great hotels. The food in Indian hotels and restaurants is excellent. Bottled water is readily available. They have a fleet of well maintained RE Bullet 500cc and some Himalayan bikes. You see the 'real' India, guided by people who know the country well. Depending on the region and time of year it can be hot and dusty in the day or chilly at night.
India is not like anywhere else and can be overwhelming with traffic and trash in towns but once acclimatised it is a great experience.
IR is a family owed business and they take very good care of you. We will go with them again. PB UK

I originally thought a motorcycle trip to the Himalayas was just about riding to the highest motorable point, how wrong was l?
From the start of the trip, coming in to land among the mountain peaks at Leh airport, to the end when we took off again seeing the mountains vanish beneath us it was an endlessly exciting experience which l don't think l will ever forget.
This is my 2nd trip with Indian Rides and as they are an Indian business run by a family who are all "petrol heads" they spend lots of time carefully researching and personally riding all routes before they offer them to their clients.
Due to this you not only visit and see everything but often you are "off piste" therefore seeing sights that other tourists miss.
The Himalayas with Indian Rides is exciting, awe inspiring and adrenaline filled so if you love biking just go.
Don't worry about being on your own as after just a few hours you will have made new friends for life.
Also, regardless of gender or age, you will be well looked after as the support crew and vehicles are with you all the time.

As avid amateur wildlife photographers and motorcycle fans, who have explored South Africa, Botswana, and Tanzania, me and my wife decided to explore the national parks of India provided a unique and rich wildlife experience on Royal Enfiled. Indian Rides from India, recommended by a trusted US travel agent, proved exceptional in advice, attention to detail, congeniality, and cost-effectiveness.
Owners Narendra and Shakti Singh’s passion for wildlife shone through in planning our two-week journey. With a 11.5-hour time difference, Narendra's responsiveness impressed us, shaping an itinerary that included Kanha and Bandhavgarh national parks for tigers and Khajuraho visit in between.
Every aspect unfolded seamlessly. Transfers were punctual, lodges were best, and Indian cuisine, tailored for a milder palate, left us feeling well-fed. Private safari vehicles with remarkable naturalists made each park's exploration unique. Six major tiger sightings, rare encounters with a sloth bear and leopards, and a myriad of other wildlife made this journey unforgettable.
The late February to early March timing proved ideal, with improved visibility in Kanha and Bandhavgarh. Indian stands out as a top choice for an enriching and well-organized wildlife motorcycle adventure in Madhya Pradesh.
 

I have used Indian Rides for two trips before and had planned a motorcycle trip to Central India in January 2020. Unfortunately, due to India closing its borders because of Covid, we could not go. Mr Narendra and Gopika assured us that they would keep our money safe, as it was already paid to hotels, etc. New plans were made for April 2022, post Covid. When the time finally came, everything went smoothly as planned. The level of service from this local Indian motorcycle company is excellent. In our three trips, we never felt like things were out of control. Indian Rides have always provided fantastic bikes, team and safari guides resulting in great wildlife sightings, including 3 different tiger sighteeing on our last trip with morning- evening safaris in different National Parks of Madhya Pradesh. We also saw jackals, numerous birds, and even a leopard. I highly recommend this company to everyone, and I will definitely use them again!
 

The motorcycle journey with Indian Rides through the wildlife national parks and sanctuaries of Central India was an unparalleled adventure. As a nature enthusiast and motorcycle lover, this trip offered the perfect blend of thrill and wildlife exploration.
The well-planned itinerary seamlessly guided us through the diverse landscapes and rich biodiversity of Madhya Pradesh, we also explored the world famous temples of Khajuraho on ths ride. The team really cared about the environment also on our trip, whereby we met locals and artisans of India too. Indian Rides team made sure we did things in a way that helps nature, local people and wildlife. Whether we were in thick forests or open areas, riding the motorcycle felt like we were exploring the “Real India!”.
I want to thank Indian Rides for planning such an amazing wildlife adventure. If you love the wildlife and want an exciting road trip, Indian Rides is the best choice for exploring the national parks and sanctuaries in Madhya Pradesh.
