Motorcycle Safari in Rajasthan
Rajasthan is a large and colourful state and has immense variety by way of landscape- from deserts to forests to hills. Our trips begin from Jaipur. For our bike tours we're using 350 cc single cylinder Royal Enfield bikes. This is an old English bike but is still manufactured in India and is unarguably the best bike for Indian roads.
A typical itinerary would involve riding for about 3 to 4 hours every morning (150 to 200 km). We would explore the town after lunch, and the evenings are free to relax. Custom designed itineraries can be built around your specific areas of interest and the time available to you. At the very minimum you would need a week to get a fair feel of the region; you could even spend a month! Two sample itineraries are below.
ITINERARY I (08 nights) ITINERARY II (08 nights)
Day 1: Jaipur and Samode village
We'll pick you up from your hotel or on arrival at Jaipur airport. You'll be introduced to the support team for the safari and test drive the motorcycles. A short tour to Samode village about 40 km away will acquaint you with your machine. Overnight Jaipur.
Day 2: Jaipur to Sawai Madhopur and Ranthambore National Park (200 km)
Kick off to a roaring start on your trip. At the national park, hop into a jeep for a safari through the jungle. Ranthambore is a beautiful forest, and tiger sightings are high here, so hopefully you'll get lucky! Spend the night at the charming Castle Jhoomar Baori, perched on a hill with a great view of the jungle and the surrounding Aravalli hills.

Bundi is a typical Rajasthani town built around a picturesque lake with traditional houses known as havelis. Overnight Bundi.

DESTINATION GUIDE
It's always advisable to arrive a few days in advance of your tour. This is to get over your jet lag if you come in from afar and acclimatize yourself to India- the climate, roads and people. Plus you can get in some sightseeing. Jaipur itself is full of experiences- forts, bazaars, museums, ancient observatories...
