EXPENSES
For purchases and supplemental costs in India, we advise combining cash and credit/debit cards. Many establishments in our routes accept UPI payments and for matter Credit & Debit cards as well, But still we advise you to bring additional cash. Request modest denominations of change when exchanging money because bigger note change is difficult to get outside of major cities. Alcoholic beverages and bottled beverages are not included with your meals, and as we do not promote the use of single-use plastic, it is advised that you bring your own water bottle. If you intend to purchase refreshments (which are not permitted during the excursion), please bring some additional cash. Ahead of Schedule/Evacuation You are in charge of paying any costs incurred (such as extra hotel nights, transportation costs, and evacuation fees) if you have to leave the adventure before it is finished.

TIPPING
Every effort is made by our staff to make sure your trip or excursion is successful, safe, and as fun as possible. Gratuities are a great way to express your gratitude after a satisfying encounter. Since we think gratuities should depend on the quantity and quality of services, as well as an amount that fits your budget, it’s challenging to suggest a precise sum. Your lead guide and coordinator can accept any contributions to the guides’ tip fund, and the entire team will be grateful.
What to expect from this expedition
Bike tours itinerary designed with lots of care and keeping the human limitation in mind. We would not be riding for excessive amount of time, expect to ride for 6 to 8 hr with proper breaks in Between. Biking tours required you to be mentally fit enough to undertake hours of journey. Ability to make right decision during the long days of riding (Not more than 8 Hr) is essential to keep any Motorbike tour safe and sound, although you will be accompanied by Guide, backup vehicle and even a backup rider in case if you need some rest during the ride. We run the trip with low number of people to ensure the great serine experience and hassle free journey. During the trip we would be riding through lots of twists and turn, so prior experience in riding similar terrain can be very useful.
Note on Itinerary: Each day we will try to have some free time so one is not always on a guided tour. While we often eat meals together, they will not be pre-arranged which will allow us the flexibility to eat at local establishments or at more preferred hours. Hotels are subject to change. Although we do our very best to follow the schedule listed, this itinerary is subject to change due to inclement weather, unsafe route conditions, or other reasons beyond our control and in the guide’s best judgement.
Private Expedition
We believe any expedition or tour is the ideal setting for making new acquaintances and lasting relationships, but in particular circumstances, a privately led trip is required. Pahadi Bakra has organised private expeditions, trips, and journeys to almost all regions of the nation during the previous ten years. A private tour is a fantastic opportunity to personalise your experience and keep team sizes to a manageable number.
This option is ideal for anybody who has a certain start date, needs a custom itinerary, or unique trip extras, or needs a lengthier itinerary to give themselves more time to acclimatise. It’s also great for filmmakers and non-profit fundraising trips.
If you would like more information on the above please contact Swapnil Rachelwar directly to help you plan your next travel experience.
