Our philosophy
The road is how we meet the mountains.
We ride to discover extraordinary places at the pace of the road — through villages, over passes and into valleys that tour buses never reach. We ride in small groups, we look after one another, and we travel with respect for the communities and landscapes that make these journeys possible.

Frequently asked questions
Can’t find your answer? Call, WhatsApp or send us an enquiry.
Ask us a questionWhat is Great Indian Rides?
Great Indian Rides runs premium guided motorcycle tours across India — from Himalayan passes to Rajasthan’s desert forts and the Konkan coast — and across the border into Nepal and Bhutan. Every ride is planned around the road, the season and a small group of riders.
Where do you ride?
Our routes cover Uttarakhand and the wider Indian Himalaya, Rajasthan, the Konkan coast, Northeast India, Nepal and Bhutan. See all destinations or the calendar of upcoming departures.
Do I need my own motorcycle?
No. Most tours offer a package with a motorcycle we provide, usually a Royal Enfield. Many tours also let you ride your own bike or join as a pillion — the options and prices are shown on each tour page.
What support do you provide on the road?
Every tour is led by an experienced ride leader. Depending on the tour, a back-up vehicle carries luggage and spares and gives mechanical support. Stays, meals and permits are arranged for you — each tour page lists exactly what is included.
I’m not a very experienced rider. Can I join?
Every tour is graded from easy to challenging. Easier rides suit riders comfortable with a few hours a day on hill roads; high-altitude expeditions need riding experience and good fitness. If you’re unsure, call or message us and we’ll suggest the right ride.
How do I book a ride?
Choose a departure on the tour page and book online by paying an advance; the balance is paid before the ride starts. You can also send us an enquiry and our team will help you book.
Can riders from outside India join?
Yes. Tours open to international riders, with prices in US dollars, are listed on our International Riders page.
Can you plan a private ride for our group?
Yes. If no fixed date suits you, we can plan a private departure for your friends or riding club on most routes, or design a custom expedition. Plan your expedition.
